Italian Homestays immerse you in language and family life.
Embrace Italian Life: Your Home Away from Home in Italia!
Imagine learning Italian while immersing yourself in the language on vacation. Better yet, become part of an Italian family for a week, joining in daily activities like cooking, shopping, and enjoying movies in their cozy living room. Homestay vacations offer a glimpse into everyday life in Italy and provide formal instruction from your teacher and hostess. Spend the rest of your time practicing Italian with your host and other family members, forging unforgettable bonds and gaining a true appreciation for Italian life.
Please note that your Italian teacher is generously opening their home to provide accommodations, lessons, meals, and excursions during your stay. It’s not just a budget-friendly option but an investment in your Italian language journey—an invaluable opportunity. Prices vary based on season, duration, lesson hours, and location, typically ranging from $1000 to $3600 for a week.
