The school is in an historic building in the heart of the town. It has 8 large, airy classrooms and a hall that`s used for conferences, exhibitions and events. There`s a terrace with a lovely panoramic view - a favourite place for students to take their class breaks during the summer months - as well as free Internet access and the opportunity to study or watch a film at the school at any time throughout the day. In addition, the school offers its students the chance to pass their afternoons together through a wide variety of excursions and activities - guided tours, wine, olive oil and cheese tastings, cooking lessons, walks in the country...
