Portuguese Language School in Porto:
Accommodations

All kinds of accommodation are available and students can be assisted if they want to find accommodation for themselves. The success of one’s stay at a language school is equally determined by the quality of the course, the accommodation and the activity program. While the first point is an obvious one, the other two need to be strongly emphasized. A wide variety of accommodation options are available to ensure that different student needs are met.

Homestay:

Homestay is a popular form of accommodation as it provides an opportunity to practice newly acquired language skills and affords an insight into the Portuguese lifestyle. Portuguese people are known for their hospitality, and our host-families particularly enjoy meeting people from around the world and making students feel part of the family.

The host-family may be with a single woman, a single-parent family, a young family, a working couple or a retired couple. Our accommodation officer carefully chooses families according to certain criteria and visits them at least once a year. The accommodation officer is available during office hours for students with any queries.

We carefully select host families according to the following criteria:


• Situated in a good residential area, hospitable, communicative and with clean, quality lodgings.
• Only Portuguese is spoken.
• Travel distance using public transport: 10 to 30 minutes
• The student’s preferences are accommodated as much as possible.

Included: Breakfast. Single rooms (double rooms are available on request for two persons booking a course together). Rooms are generally furnished with a bed, a desk with a reading light and a wardrobe. Bathroom shared with the host family. Laundry: either at home at an extra charge or at commercial laundry services.

Bed & Breakfast

• They ideally combine the comfort of a hotel with a low cost. They are ideal for students who prefer to be independent yet are looking for a more affordable option than a hotel. The Bed & Breakfasts have between one to three single and double rooms, are all within walking distance of the school and are of a similar standard.
