Italian Club 60+ course in Trieste

Accommodation

Your accommodation is included in the Club 60+ programme in Trieste as standard. You have the choice between a host family or a shared apartment in a single or twin* room. The accommodation provided is of the highest quality. All apartments in Trieste are within walking distance of the school either in the centre of town or near the harbour.

Staying with an Italian host family or an individual Italian host offers a complete immersion in Italian culture. Each student is provided with their own private room furnished with a bed, table, chair, and wardrobe. Typically, the bathroom is shared with the host family. The price covers weekly cleaning, a change of linens, a basic Italian breakfast, and standard utility expenses (such as electricity, water, gas, and heating). Additionally, students have the option to add half-board for an extra fee. Our school screens all potential host families and conducts regular inspections to ensure that their accommodations meet the necessary standards.

Our school can also help you arrange accommodation in a centrally located shared apartment. These apartments are situated on the third floor of an 18th-century building in the city centre, offering easy access to nearby restaurants, cafes, and bars. The school is just a 10-minute walk away, and you'll find a small supermarket and the market close by. The shared apartment, completely renovated in early 2013, has four bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and six bedrooms. Each room includes a 32" flat-screen TV with satellite TV and free Wi-Fi. You can choose between single or double rooms, and you also have the option to book multiple bedrooms or the entire apartment if needed.

If neither of these accommodation options above are suitable or available at the time of booking then please contact us for special requests or other options such as studio apartments, local hotels and bed and breakfasts.

*Twin rooms are only available to students travelling together.

Suitability

The Club 60+ programme in Trieste is designed for mature students who want to learn Italian alongside others of a similar age. Our Trieste school typically attracts a diverse range of students, including older learners, so you're welcome to book any of our group Italian courses at our school. However, the special Club 60+ program provides a unique opportunity to improve your speaking, writing, listening, and reading skills while fully immersing yourself in an authentic Italian atmosphere and engaging in incredible activities, all without the intense summer heat.

Your Italian lessons are will be conducted in small groups ranging from 3 to 8 participants. If a group of 3-8 students cannot be formed, you will be placed in a setting with a student-to-teacher ratio of 1-2. In such cases, the number of lessons will be reduced by 50%. Please note that a minimum of 6 students is required for each starting date.
