language schools in Taormina or Arezzo

Ciao, Julia!
Alhough I don't know anything about the language schools, I have been
in both Arezzo and Taormina in October. The weather in Taormina was
uncomfortably hot (perhaps a freak ocurrence that late) and in Arezzo
divine. I would choose on the basis of where you would like to be:
Taormina gives you fantastic ruins with a very strong sense of all the
different cultures and civilizations that have bootstepped their way
across the island over the centuries. And the cuisine, of course, is
very different from la cucina Toscana. Fish, pine nuts, raisins, a true
tradition of sweets (ice cream was supposedly "invented" in Sicily) and
some of the best pizza I've ever eaten--on a tiny street in the Jewish
quarter. Arezzo gives you the true Tuscan experience and is very well
located for all kinds of side trips--Pienza, Montepulciano, Siena, etc.
