Homestay is a popular form of accommodation as it provides an opportunity to
practice newly acquired language skills and allows for an insight into the Portuguese lifestyle.
Portuguese people are known for their hospitality and the host families particularly enjoy meeting people from around the world and making students feel part of the family. The host family may be a single woman, a single-parent family, a young family, a working couple or a retired couple.
Homestays may be apartments or detached houses, which are situated in a good residential area. Families selected by the school are communicative and only Portuguese is spoken. A maximum of two students with different home languages are accommodated per family.
Rooms are generally furnished with a bed, a desk with a reading light and a wardrobe.
Laundry: either at home at an extra charge or at commercial laundry services.
You are issued your own front door key. Bed linen is changed every 2 weeks.
