Not far from the center or in quiet residential areas a short distance from the school, our host families (made up mostly of ladies who live alone) offer students comfortable accommodation, with breakfast only or half board (breakfast + dinner). Since the character of the Turinese is a bit reserved, the number of host families is limited. For booking it is recommended to contact us as early as possible.

The coexistence between student and “family” requires the student to have a degree of flexibility and the ability to adapt to habits and lifestyles that will be different from their own. At the same time, this setting offers an unparalleled opportunity for total immersion in the language and Italian culture.
Our Turin families, despite being a bit reserved, are very kind, ready to welcome our students and make them feel as if they were at home.

Our shared apartments are comfortable and welcoming, they are not always very close to school and are suitable for students of all ages. Since Turin is a university city, the number of shared apartments is limited at certain times of the year, so we recommend that you contact us as early as possible for a booking.

Living together with people from all over the world, students will be able to make new friends and continue to speak Italian even after classes but, at the same time, thanks to the comfortable accommodation in a single room, they will not have to give up their space and their own privacy. Also, you will find in Turin that the apartments are usually not occupied by more than 4-5 people. The use of the kitchen makes the shared apartment the ideal solution for those who do not want to give up cooking their own meals, to be enjoyed alone or in company.

Students who want more independence and privacy will certainly appreciate our comfortable and welcoming private apartments, furnished with care and complete with every comfort.
These accommodations are generally located in the center or in a semi-central area, a short distance from the school, and can be studios suitable for one person as well as larger apartments, suitable for groups of friends or families.

It is easy to find independent apartments in Turin, but during spring and autumn (high season in the city) it is better to book well in advance. Prices, on request, vary according to the season, the length of the stay and the characteristics of the apartment.
A security deposit is often required on arrival, and sometimes electricity and water costs are separate.

For those who want total independence and a pinch of extra comfort, an overnight stay in a hotel or B&B is certainly the best choice. Private bathroom, daily cleaning and linen change, breakfast included are just some of the services that you can request in the many accommodation facilities in the city. In the heart of the center or in the more residential areas, and with parking available for those arriving by car, with Internet connection, air conditioning, lift… tell us what your preferences are and we will be able to suggest the most suitable accommodation for you.
Prices vary according to the category of the structures, whether it is high or low season and the length of the stay.
