In Viareggio students can choose to stay with local Italian hosts, in small local hotels or shared apartments.

You can choose to stay with local Italian hosts, who live in apartments in Viareggio.  The school can arrange either single or shared rooms (shared rooms are only on offer if travelling as a couple or with a friend) on a Bed and breakfast basis or breakfast and evening meal arrangement. Staying with hosts enables you to practise speaking Italian with local people outside of class. As a rule hosts are around 20 minutes commute from the school. The apartments consist of a communal kitchen and bathroom and a single or shared (for friends only) bedroom each. Apartments are either shared with local Italian people or other language students.
