Italian courses & retreats
Giardino di Sicilia offers more than just a traditional holiday.
We actively organize Italian language courses, as well as dance, wellness, and meditation retreats of varying lengths. You can also take part in an authentic Sicilian cooking class.
At the same time, Giardino di Sicilia serves as a retreat location surrounded by nature—the perfect setting for those who wish to host their own retreats.

Italian Language Course for foreigners
The course structure follows the guidelines of the C.I.L.S. (Certification of Italian as a Foreign Language) from the University of Siena. Using a proven method — a balanced mix of grammar and conversation — you will learn key language structures in a fun and engaging way, allowing you to apply them immediately after each lesson.
The course is suitable for both beginners and advanced learners. Lessons take place either on the terrace, surrounded by nature, or in our carefully designed classroom, depending on the weather.
Giardino di Sicilia offers Italian lessons for absolute beginners as well as for those who wish to deepen or perfect their language skills.
The course instructor, Margherita Calderone, M.A. in General Linguistics and Romance Studies (University of Tübingen, Germany), has over 30 years of teaching experience. She personally leads the courses with great passion and dedication.
A balanced approach between grammar and conversation, always keeping in mind that every person is unique and learns in their own way.
