Learn Italian in Puglia

Buongiorno! Choose your language holiday in Puglia, a sunny coastal region in south-east of the country nicknamed “the heel of Italy”. We base ourselves in the Salento area in the heart of southern Puglia. You can immerse yourself in the local culture with visits to Otranto, where you can visit a beautiful Baroque cathedral with a mosaic floor to rival Ravenna, and the city of Lecce, which has more than 40 churches and a noble palazzo built in the 17th and 18th centuries.



I thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Puglia. My tutor was enthusiastic and brilliant. The Palazzo was fabulous. Couldn't have been any better.
