“L’Acanto is a small and friendly school specializing in Italian language and culture. It’s an ideal school for people who need to attain a practical knowledge of Italian in a short time. we attended a language course in the pleasant and reserved atmosphere of l’Acanto for a term. We improved our language a great deal and would recommend L’Acanto School to anyone.”

“The school staff have made a welcoming and homey environment that also communicates well the daily life and routine of the Italian people. The language instruction is tailored individually by a talented and caring staff of instructors. It is hard not to leave a piece of the heart behind in such a place. Accommodations in the historic center of Mesagne are picturesque and also comfortable.”

“The lessons were conducted in an informal and friendly way and were perfectly tailored to my level and knowledge of Italian. The hospitality I received and the people I met at l’Acanto were wonderful and were the main reason I had a really memorable trip to Puglia. I would have no hesitation in recommending l’Acanto to anyone, regardless of their language level, who wants to learn Italian and discover the delights of the culture in Puglia.”
