Courses by the sea

Summer Courses in Castelfusano

This programme was made possible thanks to collaboration between Dilit International House and Country Club Castelfusano. Country Club Castelfusano, operating since 1985, is a holiday camp on the Roman coast, close to Ostia Antica and Ostia Lido.

Historically Castelfusano was an old hunting estate of the Chigi family situated just 25 km from the center of Rome and 1.3 km from the Roman coast. The name derives from the magnificent baroque castle, frescoed by the famous Pietro Da Cortona in the 1620's, which lies in the midst of a centuries-old pine wood. Thirty-five hectares around the castle are still privately owned by the Chigi family and it is here that a member of the family decided to build a tourist village called Country Club Castelfusano.

This unique programme offers young people from around the world an opportunity to learn the language and culture of Italy immersed in natural surroundings, just a stone's throw from the sea, in the heart of the Roman countryside and a few kilometres from Rome.
