Tropea: Learn Italian in a Beautiful Seaside Resort
-
Charming Southern Italy:
Tropea is located in southern Italy, at the tip of the Italian peninsula, directly by the sea. Sicily is only a short distance away. This small, picturesque town is typically southern Italian, famous for its onions and for the fresh fish sold every morning. -
A stunning location by the sea:
Tropea sits spectacularly on steep cliffs directly above the turquoise-blue sea. Below are bright sandy beaches and small bays, while above lies the lively old town with its small shops, cafés and restaurants. -
Excellent water quality:
The sea is exceptionally clear and shines in shades ranging from deep blue to turquoise, depending on the light. The combination of rocky coastline, beaches and crystal-clear water makes Tropea a particularly impressive destination for a language programme.

FAQ
Customer Questions and Answers (FAQ)
By when should I book Tropea for my child?
We recommend booking as early as possible. Our most popular course dates are often fully booked by January for the Easter and summer holidays. Ideally, you should book your child's language study trip in December for the following Easter or summer break. For some destinations, we can still arrange last-minute bookings, depending on availability. In most cases, the main limitation is flight availability. The later you book, the more expensive the airfare is likely to be. Please give us a call or send us an email. We will be happy to provide you with detailed personal advice.
How much free time will my child have?
During a language programme in Tropea, children have periods of free time that they may organise themselves. Please note that there are times when your children are unsupervised.
How much does a language trip to Tropea cost?
A two-week language trip with 20 Italian lessons per week and accommodation in the residence with full board costs £ 2,199. The extensive leisure programme, airport transfer, language course and accommodation are included in the course price.
Can I be in the same class as my friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, brother or sister?

Can my child manage the journey to school?
In Tropea, lessons take place on the grounds of the residence. Distances are short and easy to manage.
