Homestay

Staying with a host family during your course is the best way to fully immerse yourself in the Spanish language. This option offers you a unique experience of mixing with the locals and learning about a different culture.

Your host family

You could be staying with a couple, people who live alone, a family with children and or pets. We carefully select our host families and their houses to make sure that the accommodation is clean, safe, welcoming and comfortable and that the hosts are willing to help you and interact with you during your stay. Our typical hosts are interested in meeting people from new cultures and are enthusiastic about showing you the Spanish way of life.
