Summer in Italian medieval-walled city with a host family

My homestay with a lovely mature woman in a beautiful building about a 10-minute walk from most of my classes was idyllic.

I had my own room, use of a private bathroom, access to laundry and internet. All of the common areas of the apartment were available for use.

My morning coffee was enjoyed in a cozy kitchen illuminated by a sparkling welcome from the morning sun with a view of the garden rich with colorful flowers, fruit trees and song birds.
The instructors and staff were helpful and extremely competent. They really care about all the students and want everyone to have a great experience. Field trips were well-planned and organized. The Italian Cuisine class was an amazing opportunity to dive into Italian culture and take a soak!
