General Information

Hosting guests and teaching them Italian is my only job, therefore you’ll have the whole day to learn Italian. You will be corrected and encouraged all day long, during meals, on trips, at meetings with friends.

When you learn a language, like learning to swim or ski or anything else you like doing, in my opinion, the first thing to do is to proceed like a child and take the first steps without worrying about making mistakes. Children never worry about such things and they are indifferent to other people’s opinions, they just “do it”. When we learn we are like children, who are just starting to walk or talk! Forget about “fare una brutta figura” (making a bad impresson), just try, and I will be there to help you! When I say this to my beginners, I see them immediately starting to relax! I know that when you come to Italy you don’t only want to study, you also want to have fun! There are so many beautiful places to see!

In my home there is no timetable – I like to adapt myself to my guest’s needs. There is just one rule: Relax!

I have a daughter, 43, and a son, 40. They live on their own but they are always friendly with my guests. They are both artists, Mara works with animals, loves singing and painting and works with singing bowls. Roby runs a theatre and his own Music Art Academy where he teaches acoustic guitar.
