Scuola L'Acanto - Puglia (Mesagne)

...See, Taste, Hear, Touch and Smell the perfumes, delights and culture of Puglia

Come and spend a rewarding Italian holiday with L'Acanto School in Spring, or next Summer or Autumn 2007. Take advantage of our tailor-made language and culture courses to improve or begin your Italian studies whilst enjoying yourself in our company and with our organised trips.

We offer a one week package or if you're short of time, a long weekend break, both of which include tailor-made cultural activities and tours to discover and fall in love with Puglian region. Lessons will be held in the morning, whilst the tours will take place in the afternoon after a nice 'siesta'.

- Walks in the Mediterranean countryside to "soak up" what this warm and luscious climate has to offer.

- A sailing trip along the Adriatic coast, including an aperitif served on board (In Italy, we don't bother to wait for the sun to go below the yard arm to do this!)

- An Italian (Puglian) cooking lesson ending with a sumptuous dinner by a passionate local chef in his own country home situated in the middle of an olive grove.

- Wine, olive oil and cheese tasting in the local and picturesque wine cooperatives, oil mills and farms.

- An evening dedicated to dancing, enjoying the rhythm of typical Puglian music, Pizzica Salentina

- Accommodation and a warm welcome with a friendly host family comprising 7 nights half board (accommodation in a single en-suite room in a comfortable 3* hotel just a few minutes from the school is available as an alternative at a supplemental charge of € 150.00 B&B and € 175 half board )

All the above for € 610.00 including the return transfers from the nearest airport of Brindisi, served daily by Ryanair and Alitalia. Have a look at the airports' website of Puglia.
