Accommodation

Host family
This is your dream chance to live like a real Venetian! Sharing the daily life and experiences of a local family is an excellent way to immerse yourself in the Italian culture. Living around 20 minutes away from the school, you will have your own room and will share the kitchen with your hosts.

Residence "Foresteria Redentore"
With a view overlooking the Giudecca lagoon and its location on an island in the historical heart of Venice, the residence proposed by our partner school will captivate you. It is located in the district which is very popular with artists and students close to the Redentore church, only a stone's throw away from the Piazzala Roma and the train station. In an former, completely renovated convent, surrounded by a garden where there are hundreds of olive trees, you can occupy a single or double room (in which case, the booking must be made for the two people at the same time) with an extraordinary view and a private bathroom. The bedrooms have Internet access. You will have the possibility to use, in common with the other international students, the equipped kitchen, the laundry room, comfortable lounges with television and meeting rooms. A shuttle boat assures a continuous connection with the historical centre of the city. You will appreciate the conviviality in an extraordinary setting in the heart of Venice!

Leisure

How can you get bored in Venice? The entire city is a work of art. To help you discover its innumerable treasures, at the beginning of each month, our partner school proposes a programme of excursions and activities that you can participate in free of charge or at a reduced price, such as walks around the city, visits to the Rialto markets, trips to the beaches of Lido and film evenings. And for going out with your friends at night, you have only to choose a venue among the numerous options for partying in one of the most romantic cities in the world.

Testimonial

Silke Anita Mühlemann Going to school in Venice was a unique experience. I was there off-season when the city is just as lively but with fewer tourists. You can therefore visit attractions in the afternoon without fighting through hordes of tourists and there is always space at restaurants and cafés. This is heaven for sightseeing! Watch out when the water starts to rise but you’ll get used to it quickly.

The school is small and friendly. The atmosphere in class is relaxed but you make a huge amount of progress. After just two weeks I could speak with fellow students – half in English, half in Italian. It was impossible for me to do anything like that before.

You get used to taking water taxis and I enjoyed my journey to school on the Vaporetto on the Canale della Giudecca and by foot in the Dorsoduro area.

The nightlife may not be as buzzing here as elsewhere but I would go back to Venice again in a heartbeat.
