Welcome to Extra Italy

To rediscover the joys  of Italy, join us in this spectacular area on the Tuscan-Romagna border where we will guide you through a learning experience that involves all the senses.

Stimulating morning seminars provide you with the basics of the language, while the afternoon offers a range of activities from cookery lessons to ceramic workshops, hikes through the unspoilt Casentino Forests National Park or Pilates by the pool of your villa.

Our learning venue is in one of the antique "Palazzi" of Tredozio, a charming town rich in history and  known among literature enthusiasts as being the birthplace of Angelo Ravagli, the soldier who inspired D.H.Lawrence to create Oliver Mellors in Lady Chatterly's Lover.

Accommodation is in the welcoming villas of "La Collina" on the 400 hectare estate of Countess Vespignani Boselli. The villas provide all modern comforts as well as spectacular views over the Appenines.

We invite people of all ages to share with us an Italian experience that both enriches and refreshes, and a new insight to a truly beautiful country.
