Locaţia şcolii

Our Centre is located in the heart of world-famous Taormina, the most beautiful town in Sicily. Taormina, from atop Mount Tauro, looks over the Bay of Naxos, the first Greek colony in Sicily, founded in 735 b.C. The magnificent Mediterranean-blue bay with active volcano Mount Etna in the background offers a spectacular view from almost everywhere in town. Taormina is famous for its beauty, its incredible heritage, history, archaeology, and architecture, as well as for its reputation in welcoming travelers. Taormina is perfectly situated to offer students easy access to the beautiful and historically important treasures of Sicily.

Since 1992, we, the Centre for Italian Studies “BABILONIA” in Taormina, Sicily have passionately dedicated ourselves to promoting our Italian and Sicilian heritage and culture along with the study of the Italian language. We strive to not only offer an opportunity to learn the Italian language and to directly experience Italian culture and Italian life.

Our courses and programs are held at “Casa Silva”, a historic villa, built in 1817 just 200 meters away from the Greek Theatre: an architectural, natural and historical treasure that Taormina has miraculously managed to conserve. The villa still today boasts a luxurious botanical garden filled with citrus trees, Mediterranean plants, centuries-old palms, monkey puzzle trees, and magnolias, as well as many other exotic trees and plants.

Babilonia is not just a language school, but truly a Cultural Centre, open both to the local community and to our international students who gain wider cultural experience and have the chance to easily interact and integrate with the local community

A language is the result of a culture and its traditions, its history, its lifestyle and its places. With this in mind, if you want a fuller cultural experience in Sicily, and not just to be a simple tourist but be a real traveler, you can combine a group Italian language course or private Italian lessons with our

Italian plus programs:

· Italian plus Sicilian Cooking (more info here )
· Italian plus Wine & food of Sicily (more info here )
· Italian plus Sicilian pottery & ceramic decoration (more info here )
· Italian plus Hiking & trekking in Sicily (more info here )
· Italian plus Diving in Sicily (more info here )
· Italian plus Golf in Sicily (more info here )
· Italian plus Literature (more info here )
· Italian plus Art History (more info here )
· Italian plus History (more info here )

and, for those who wish a more exclusive and intensive package with 50+ fellows, a special invitation to join our “Golden Sicily” program.

We hope to welcome you soon to Taormina, Sicily and offer the opportunity to discover our island so full of history, so full of culture, so full of inspiration!

"Very pleasant experience"

Birgit Botwinow, student din Austria

The first week was unfortunately not very efficient for me because I joined a level too low, I was quite underchallenged….that‘s why I rated with 4 stars.
The second week was perfect - right level and small group.
The teacher was very flexible, adjusted the lessons to our question and demanded always enough to keep us concentrated and interested.
The location is magic - you enter the class rooms from an inner yard where you find a restaurant in a wonderful garden.

"Good stay"

Annette Jessen, student din Danemarca

I liked it all, the first day too much confusion about finding the right level. Housing fine.

"A nice experience in a beautiful place."

Anni Karma, student din Finlanda

The class was appropriate according my skills. We were 8 participants in the section communicative,( semistandard course). The location of the school is charming, in the very center of Taormina, an old historical place with a beautiful garden. The school offered extra activities dealing with Italian cooking, knowledge of Italian wines, ceramics, sport activities and diving. In addition it was possible to participate in lessons on Sicilian writers, history of Sicilia and on history of the Sicilian art. The school offered possibilities to accommodate in the rooms arranged by the Babilonia center. I did not take part in any extra activities and lived in a hotel arranged by myself. I traveled with my husband.

I had two teachers during the week: A young lady and a young man. The lady was very talented and I felt that I progressed in my skills a bit. The same I cannot say of the male teacher: I had a feeling that he did not concentrate on the teaching enough. The subjects he spoke about were too large, too difficult and he did not clarified properly on the matter. He was too "high" and too quick for me, and also left us for many minutes alone, while we were trying to speak with each other.
