Accademia Italiana Salerno

I felt warmly welcomed and right at home. The school offers a family-like atmosphere where every student is valued. The teachers are highly competent and make learning enjoyable. I especially appreciated the Paestum excursion and the free seminars that enriched my stay.

I highly recommend Accademia Italiana, located in a beautiful and prestigious building. The staff were kind, welcoming, and always helpful. The excursions were enjoyable and well-organized. Salerno and its stunning surroundings are the perfect place to learn Italian. Thank you so much!

It was a wonderful experience! The teachers and staff were incredibly warm and welcoming — I felt right at home. The lessons were fun and varied, with a great balance of structure and flexibility, and the slow, clear speech was perfect for beginners. The school’s location, right in the centre of Salerno by the sea, was ideal. I especially enjoyed the well-organised cultural programme and the friendly, international atmosphere. I’ll never forget this experience — I definitely want to come back!

I studied for two weeks at Accademia Italiana Salerno, and I think both the school and the city provide an excellent environment for learning Italian. The teachers made great use of interactive whiteboards, which I found to be a very effective learning aid. The staff are highly dedicated, with each person responsible for a specific area of the school — and they work seamlessly as a team. The apartment arranged by the school was just a one-minute walk away, right in the heart of Salerno’s historic city centre. I also joined several of the excursions — the highlight being a cooking class at what turned out to be the best restaurant I visited during my stay in Italy. Salerno is truly a foodie town, with excellent restaurants serving delicious, locally sourced dishes.

I took classes at Accademia Italiana for two weeks in March 2025 — my first language school experience — and it exceeded all expectations. From the first contact, the staff were supportive and welcoming. My class placement was spot-on, and our teacher Margherita made learning grammar genuinely fun and engaging. The small group, mixed ages, and friendly atmosphere helped me feel at ease and make great progress. I also loved the wide range of cultural activities — from guided city walks to cooking and ceramics classes. There was never a dull moment! Salerno is the perfect city for this kind of stay: walkable, vibrant, and full of great food. The school’s location right by the sea made breaks extra special. I’ve already decided to come back!

I spent two weeks at Accademia Italiana on the 50+ programme and it was the perfect choice for a solo traveller. The daily activities — from cooking classes to cultural excursions — were well organised and the group was friendly and international. The teaching was excellent and fully immersive, with classes conducted in Italian and tailored to our level. I made real progress and felt more confident using Italian in everyday situations. My accommodation was comfortable and sharing with non-English speakers helped me practise even more. Salerno is a beautiful, walkable city and ideal for anyone looking for a serious and rewarding language experience.
