Babilonia, Italian language school, Sicily

When students come to school for the first time, they cannot believe their eyes. They think that its not true. It is impossible that in this paradise there is a school, surrounded by a garden with orange, tangerine, grapefruit trees, with a loquat, palm trees, plants and flowers of different colors and with an intoxicating smell of wisteria…

All students work in this paradise, in a true oasis of peace and beauty, in the heart of Taormina, between Greek theaters and the main streets of Corso Umberto, in the zone of the archaeological park, plunging into the ancient history of Taormina. This is the perfect place to take an Italian course in Italy!

This paradise is called “Casa Silva”, and it is a prestigious location of  the school and Italian courses. In his lush garden, our students can study, relax, and meet with their school friends or, if they need to work, use net-c @ fé and the Wi-Fi zone.

Accommodation

Student apartment
We provide several student apartments located throughout Taormina, with single or double rooms.

In student apartments, students have a separate room (single or double), a shared kitchen and one (sometimes more) bathroom. Placing in a double room people who have not previously known and did not agree in advance is not allowed. School does not make a pair between people who did not know each other before.

Homestay (breakfast, half board, full board)
Single or double rooms are available. Many of them provide meals that include only breakfast, either half board (breakfast and lunch or dinner), or full board. This is well suited to those who want a more complete learning experience and an additional daily practice of the Italian language.

Separate apartment (studio)
Apartments are suitable for those who prefer independent living.

Almost all apartments are designed for double occupancy (2 people). However, students who often prefer to live independently and independently in a separate apartment often turn to them, and we give them this opportunity, adhering to the principle of “first reservation”.

Board and hotels (hotels 2, 3, 4, 5 stars)
In Taormina, a large selection of hotels at prices for every taste.

The school has special pricing agreements with 2, 3 star hotels, but we can provide information about hotels of all levels, as well as guest houses. Please take into account that, given the cyclical nature of the tourism industry, the availability of hotel rooms is very unpredictable, therefore, as is the case with individual apartments, we recommend booking in advance.
