L'Accademia is located in the ceter of Cagliari, It benefits from a perfect city centre location, and is big enough to provide a good learning environment, but small enough that the atmosphere remains personal. We only have four classroom, a TV room and a library where students can stay after the lessons in order to do extra exerecise or listenig . We have a big terrace, a common area where students can stay and meet. Thanks to the many extra activities organised, both at school and outside, students can enjoy Cagliari life style and meet each other
The school is in the center of the town and can be easily reached because it is at a walking distance from the most important area of Cagliari. Almost all busses and trains stop at 100 meter from L'Accademia. The airport is only at 7 km from the school.
Italian family where students can practice our language and enjoy piur life style. Nice and firendly, our family make students feel at home.

I can only say that it was a great experience to go to L'Accademia in Cagliari. The school is in the city - center, near the central station and the harbour. All the teacher and the manager were so nice that I can't express in words. It was really funny with all the peolpe from all over the world. I'm sure that I'll come back!!!

The school is located in the heart of Cagliari-within walking distance of both the beautiful Old Town and the port/seafront area of the city. The staff at the school were very helpful and friendly.During my period at the school i received first class tuition and feel that the lessons were of benefit to my level of Italian. Furthermore i must state that the staff at the school offered a flexible approach to the lessons in that they were willing to concentrate on 'problem areas of the language'-that is to say areas of grammar which i was finding difficult.This flexible approach enabled me to derive greater benefit and satisfaction from the lessons. I also enjoyed an interesting 'city tour' of Cagliari-conducted by one of the school teachers. Other activities on offer included a pizza evening-typically Italian! All in all i had a rewarding and fun period in Cagliari-It is a pleasant historical city in which to learn Italian.I would recommend l'accademia school in Cagliari to anyone wishing to learn Italian on the beautiful island of Sardinia.

The classes were small and the teachers were accommodating to the student's needs. Activities outside of classes were also arranged which were great as it gave you an opportunity to spend time with the students and teachers in a different environment. The teachers were willing to help you with activites in the town and give you advice if you needed it. Other all I had a fantastic time in Calgiari and at the school. I would definitely return and have already booked my return trip to this school.
