If you're going to learn Italian, or brush up on your linguistic skills, Italy is obviously the best place to do it. And if you can combine classes with a stay somewhere scenic, maybe with a slightly monastic feel to it, then you might have a better chance of getting the most out of your lessons. Santo Stefano in La Marche, overlooking the Adriatic, used to be a monastery and has been converted into something a bit more luxurious, and here, with the help of a native speaking 'professore', you can have morning Italian lessons.
If you go for the whole Santo Stefano seven day package it includes home made meals, there's a photo of an Italian grandma on their website who looks very promising, and lessons for no more than eight students. There are sights to see in this region, some local ruins, a vineyard and a medieval walled town.
