How many people are really in the class in high season, not the stated maximum. And the total including enrolment, materials and accommodation, not the weekly rate.

Which schools in La Maddalena are exam centres?

Yes, all 1 of them. Host family, shared flat or residence: the host family is the most useful for the language, because it makes you speak Italian every evening.

A host family with breakfast usually costs about €180–260 per week for a single room; a room in a shared flat generally starts at €150–220.

Almost every school on this page books accommodation for you, so ask for a quote covering course and room together.

Events this year

The city's big festivals, food fairs and cultural seasons through the year. They're not just entertainment: they're the best training ground for your Italian. At a local festival you end up ordering, asking directions, chatting with locals: the real language, the kind books don't teach. If you can, line up a week of your course with one of these.

Festa di Santa Maria Maddalena On 22 July the island celebrates its patron saint with a procession at sea, decorated boats and fireworks. A deeply local festival: excellent for the vocabulary of seafaring traditions.	22 July
Regate nell'arcipelago Between spring and summer the archipelago hosts sailing regattas at every level and the harbour fills with crews. Useful for the vocabulary of sailing, the sea and the weather.	spring–summer
Estate maddalenina In summer concerts, open-air cinema and markets keep Piazza Umberto I and the seafront alive well into the night. Informal evenings, ideal for chatting with islanders.	June–September
