Housing

ACCOMMODATION WITH A HOST FAMILY IN SEVILLE Living with a family allows our students to fully discover the Spanish culture, life and people. At Spanish Institute we believe that this is an important aspect of the program. The academic year program includes accommodation in a host family and offers the option of staying during the winter holiday period at an additional fee.
