Accommodation

Host family
To improve your Italian language skills, staying with an Italian host family is an ideal option. It is by speaking with its inhabitants that you will learn what Italian language and culture really are. You can stay with couples/families of different ages, with or without children, living at a reasonable distance from the school (15-30 minutes by public transport). Host family accommodation includes a single room and half board.

Shared apartements
Apartments are furnished and are an ideal option if you want to enjoy total independence. You will stay in a single or double room, sharing the kitchen and bathroom with other students.

Leisure

Every month, the school offers a programme of activities that will enable you to learn more about Italian culture, to visit other cities and to meet other students. In addition to the information that the school’s teachers will give you about language and culture, you will have art history specialists who will guide you on visits to museums and historical sites. Small trips to surrounding cities are also scheduled. In the afternoons, the school offers lectures on Italian customs or cooking lessons, and in the evening movie screenings. Several sporting activities are also available.
