Language school Florence, Eurocentres
- School
School
Our partner school is the oldest language school recognised by the State in Florence. It is housed in a 17th century Renaissance-style building, in the very heart of the old town, close to the Ponte Vecchio and only a stone's throw away from the Piazza dei Pitti. Surrounded by restaurants and bars, and located in a typical district, the historic building of the school, renovated in 1992, has 11 well-equipped classrooms, a multimedia learning centre, a student lounge with a drinks vending machine and a WiFi connection. The school also has a nice balcony where students can relax under the sun which projects a distinctive light that one only sees in Tuscany.

The residence is located in a renovated Renaissance building and has a large kitchen which students share as well as Internet access (paying). Each bedroom has a private bathroom, air-conditioning, a fridge and bedlinen and bath towels are changed once per week. In addition, a cleaning service is offered twice a week.
