Accommodation

Host family
You will stay in a single or double room without meals. Our families are carefully chosen by our partner school. You can choose from the standard and standard Plus options for more comfort or a more central location in the city. Families offer an excellent environment for practising the language and developing a deeper understanding of Roman culture.

Shared apartments
An ideal option if you want to enjoy total independence. You will stay in a single or double room and will share the kitchen, bathroom, and living room with other students. As with the host families, the school offers a “plus” formula if you want more comfort.
A bed-and-breakfast option is also available, depending on your requirements and your budget.

The school offers several cultural activities that will enhance your language skills. From Italian cooking to Roman archaeology, many seminars and workshops are available. A programme of social activities is also offered to help you make contact and share your experiences with other students. For instance, a traditional spaghettata is organized on Fridays. Excursions are also scheduled, letting you discover the wide range of interesting sites in Rome and its surroundings.
