Frequently asked questions about Otranto

How much does accommodation cost in Otranto?
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. These are rough figures: the price changes with the season, the distance from the centre and the meals included. Almost every school on this page books accommodation for you, so ask for a quote covering course and room together.
How many Italian language schools are there in Otranto?
We have selected one, with courses of 20 hours a week.
How do I choose between the schools in Otranto?
Look at three numbers, not the price alone. The real lesson length: 20 hours of 45 minutes are 15 actual hours, of 60 minutes they are 20. 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 Otranto are exam centres?
You can sit the exam where you study at these: Porta d'Oriente (CELI).
Do the schools in Otranto help you find accommodation?
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.
How much does an Italian course in Otranto cost?
Rates vary a lot and should be asked of the school. When you do, ask for the total: a one-off enrolment fee is almost always added to the weekly rate, usually 50–90 euros in Italy, and books, accommodation, cultural activities and exam fees may be charged separately.

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.

Alba dei Popoli
Between December and January Otranto celebrates the year's first sunrise at Italy's easternmost point, with concerts and talks. Atmospheric and uncrowded: lovely for seeing Salento in winter.
December–January
Festa dei Santi Martiri
In mid-August Otranto remembers the eight hundred martyrs of 1480 with a procession, illuminations and fireworks over the sea. A powerful festival of identity: excellent for historical and religious vocabulary.
