ACCOMMODATION IN A HOST FAMILY*

In selecting host families, we do not look for luxury and comfort in the material sense but for Italian families who appreciate receiving foreign students. Additionally, the word “family” should not be taken too literally, as a family can be “traditional” with children, a single parent or a childless couple who take in students because they enjoy the company. The best way to Study Italian in Florence.

Meals

You can choose between breakfast and half board (breakfast and dinner). You have your meals together with the family but you should be aware that Italian eating habits can be rather different from your own. Breakfast usually only consists of coffee or tea and bread, butter, marmalade. Dinner is a complete meal served normally at around 8:00 pm.

House rules in host families

Living with a family offers a unique opportunity to become acquainted with the Italian culture and way of living, but it also requires compromises between the host and you. Therefore there are some house rules which you must take into consideration:

• Leaving their room presentable;
• Not waking up the family after midnight when returning home;
• Not using any family belongings without permission;
• Not preparing meals by yourself;
• Not doing the laundry by yourself (The use of the washing-machine is not included, but arrangements may be made between the landlord and you);
• The use of the ironing board is permitted with no extra charge;
• You are allowed to use the common rooms and to receive telephone calls;
• The room (if not closed by key) is cleaned daily.

ACCOMMODATION IN SHARED APARTMENTS**

Living in a apartment, together with other foreign or Italian students or with the landlord/landlady, requires maturity but allows you considerable independence. You share with the roommate(s) the bathroom and the kitchen and can cook on your own.

Facilities
