I'm definately planning on going to Italy this july for 4 weeks to study Italian. Last summer I studied for a week at a school in Florence then the following week I studied at a school in Taormina Sicily. This time I am planning on 2 weeks somewhere in Italy where I can do day trips/afternoon trips (as I will be in school from 9 -1). The following 2 weeks I would like a beach atmosphere. It seems the best beaches are in Southern Italy. There were 2 schools that caught my eye one in Otranto Puglia, the other in Tropea Calabria. I can not find too much information about tropea or otranto. All I know is that the beaches are nice. I would like a nice atmosphere like taormina along with great beaches. Anyone have any suggestions for 2 great places to study in italy???? Help!!!

Neither place has the cachet of Taormina but I'd choose Otranto simply because there is a wealth of things to see and do in Puglia. Not that Calabria is boring, but from Otranto you can easily visit: Lecce, Ostuni, Bari, Alberobello and Gallipoli.

You might try to rewrite your message title to something like"Italian language school in Italy-where to go?" That way you are more likely to catch the attention of anyone who can give you helpful info. Good luck!
