Living in a private Spanish home Homestay or family
accommodation is the most popular choice in all five Sampere
destinations. You live with a host family, sharing meals
and facilities and practising your Spanish in a traditional
and friendly environment.
Before you arrive We require your arrival information
(flight or train time) in order to ensure that your family
is at home to greet you. You should call, fax or email
this information to Estudio Sampere at least one week in
advance, or to your family directly five days in advance.
We require complete information to place you with a compatible
family: special dietary requirements, allergies, smoking
habits, age and choice of meal plan. When your accommodation
booking is confirmed, you will receive a description of
the family in English.

Arrival Families are not required to pick you up
from the airport. You can book an airport transfer through
Estudio Sampere. You must arrive at the family by 11 o'clock
in the evening. If delayed, please telephone the family
to let them know.
Location Most of our families are located not far
from the school. Walking distance is usually 20-25 minutes.
Public transport (subway or bus) normally takes about 15
minutes. In Madrid, a journey of 30 minutes on public transport
is possible.
Minimum stay The minimum stay in a family is one
week. Three or more extra nights are treated as an extra
week.
Room type Most students book a single room. Students
under 25 years can book double rooms. Two people travelling
together may request a double room.
Meals Breakfast is a light meal in Spain, consisting
of coffee and biscuits or bread. Lunch is the main meal
for many Spaniards and is taken between 1.30 and 3pm. Dinner
is usually tortilla, cold meats, salads, sandwiches, etc.,
and is taken between 8 and 10pm. The following meal plans
are possible in family accommodation:
- Half-board: breakfast and dinner, Monday to Friday
and all meals on weekends.
- Full-board: breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days per
week.
Changing your family If you are not happy with
your family, speak to the school director in your first
week. We will offer you three alternative families, which
you can visit before choosing one. We do not charge a fee
for changing families in the first week.
