Il Sillabo !

Il Sillabo is a small family school, specialized in language courses, exclusive cultural programs for individuals or small groups, tailor-made travel packages for independent travellers and private groups all looking for off-the beaten path travels away from the tourists of Italy’s main cities.

Il Sillabo’s courses are officially recognised by the Italian Ministry of Education and academic and semester courses are offered in association with the GCT faculty of the nearby University of Sienna.

Spend one or two weeks with Sillabo and live Tuscany: the language, culture, cuisine and the people. Think of your touring area as a series of concentric circles around your base where you live and have one unique experience. See what is closer to you instead of dashing about on long day trips to see the "highlights" or
