Accomodation - Spanish host families

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
practicing 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. You can request extra nights at a
supplement. 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.
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.
