Pintadera is a small Italian language school located in a quiet and picturesque alley of the Old Town of Alghero on the 'Coral Coast' of the Italian island of Sardinia. Welcoming and relaxing, the school offers the perfect atmosphere for learning the Italian language and gaining a unique insight into Sardinian culture. We take language out of the classroom and onto the streets of Alghero. All five senses are activated during the learning process – not only do you listen and speak, but you eat, sleep and breathe Sardinia.

In addition to the basic intensive group language and culture courses, Pintadera offers a series of special courses, among which a weekly crash course for tourists called AllegraMente. This late afternoon course is designed to give our visitors an enticing taste of the Italian language and way of life. Our courses provide an intelligent enhancement to anyone’s holiday in Alghero.
