For next year, we are looking for the opportunity for our eldest son (17) to be hosted for a school year (High School) abroad to effectively learn the English language.

A nice apartment in the beautiful Tuscany

We live the centre of Pontedera (20 km from Pisa and its leaning tower). Pontedera is an industrious small town which is birth place of the iconic Vespa Piaggio (remember Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn in "Roman Holiday") with a great museum dedicated of course to Vespa. In the historical center there are excellent possibilities for shopping and relaxing. Our house is a very bright apartment on the 2th floor of a building in which we can accommodate 7 people. It has everything you need like air conditioning and wi-fi. We are 10 minutes walk from the train-station (Florence-Pisa line) and less than 30 minutes drive from Pisa's airport. Overall we live in a barycentric place of Tuscany because you can easily reach in less than one hour Pisa, Lucca, Pistoia, Siena, Florence and the Chiantishire, the historical towns of San Gimignano and Volterra, the quite seafront of Marina di Pisa, Bolgheri and its gorgeous wines and of course the spectacular (and crowded) Viareggio and Versilia's beaches. There are so many more historical and natural places waiting for you!
