Homestay in Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Accommodation with a Spanish family is available with either a host family or an executive host family, with the latter offering a greater range of facilities.

There is quite a variety of host families; some are young couples, some have children still living at home, others - perhaps the majority - have grown-up children who no longer live at home, but who are often there for lunch on Sundays! Lunch is usually eaten quite late (around 2:30 pm.) and dinner is usually around 9 pm.

Most families live near the school and are rarely more than 20 minutes away by public transport.
All of our host families live in flats, as there are practically no individual houses in Palma.

Apartment buildings (both old and modern) are rarely more than 8 floors high. A typical flat will have 3 or 4 bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a dining room and living room. Some flats have terraces; almost all of them have balconies.

All host families are carefully selected by our Accommodation Department and all agree to fulfill the following conditions:

• To provide you with a single room (unless a couple both attending courses or individuals request to share), which is comfortably furnished, has adequate heating and lighting facilities and a desk or table where you can work
• Not to accommodate students of the same nationality at the same time (unless you specifically request that)
• To provide basic laundry facilities and to change bed linen and towels weekly
• To make a daily bath or shower available
• To provide an adequate continental breakfast and -- if you are being accommodated on a halfboard basis -- a substantial dinner at night
• To provide you with a door key so that you can let yourself in and out
• To treat you as a family guest and generally behave in a friendly and hospitable manner.

Shared apartment: Single room, no meal.
