This arrangement gives you firsthand insight into the local culture and lifestyle, offering a welcoming environment where you can practice your Spanish daily. Our school carefully selects experienced families or single homeowners who have hosted students from diverse backgrounds, ensuring a comfortable stay.

If you prefer more independence but still want a social atmosphere, a Shared Apartment is a great choice. You can live with other language students from the school, either in a single or shared room, creating opportunities for building friendships and practicing Spanish together. Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen, a shared living area, and bathroom facilities, giving you the flexibility to cook your own meals and share communal spaces.

Student reviews & feedback
Intensive 20 with Host Family
The course was really good and learnt so much.
The accommodation was mostly good, the WiFi didn’t work which was a bit annoying.
Had such a good time would definitely recommend.

Intensive 20 + Private lessons with Shared Apartment
The teaching was excellent with experienced, supportive and friendly staff. I would highly recommend this school for its excellent standard and value for money.

Intensive 20 with Host Family
This was such an amazing experience! The teachers were great, the school was in a great location and planned tons of free/cheap activities, and my Spanish improved a lot.
My home stay was wonderful- they were able to match me up with a vegetarian family that lived very close to the school, and we became very close over my month long stay!
- K. Tuemmler
Intensive 20 + Flamenco
This school is very structured - there was an introduction on the first day which helped to explain the structure of the classes which I thought worked extremely well. All the staff were very friendly and approachable and I felt I did improve my Spanish by attending this school.
- L. Sinagra
Intensive 20
Excellent teachers and a very nice traditional building. Good grading of ability and the teachers had flexibility to move students once the course had started depending on how they performed in class which kept all students at a similar level.
I also enjoyed the activities provided by the school allowing you to mix with students of different courses and abilities.
- E. Clarke
Intensive 20 + Private lessons with Shared Apartment

It was very useful.

It was a good and special learning experience. I am comming back for sure.

Excellent tuition, staff, ambience, afternoon and evening activities
Comfortable, clean accommodation. Excellent hostess. Delicious food.
Thank you!

Intensive 20 with Host Family
The school was flexible with which class I should join. In the end, I joined a beginner class which was a review but very appropriate for my abilities. Classes always started on time and the two instructors had great personalities and did a nice job.
My accommodation couldn't have been more appropriate. I could tell that a lot of effort went into matching the students with the families. If I return, I would ask for the same hostess.
I had a really great experience and am planning to do another course. I may look for a Spanish course in another city just to experience a new environment.

Intensive 20 + Private lessons with Host Family
Learnt loads, had great teachers and met fun friends! If ever I get the chance I'll definitely go back!
Rosa, my host, was adorable and we got on like a house on fire. She spoilt me rotten.
- M. Turner
Intensive 20 with Shared Apartment
The course was excellent. The professors were highly professional, patient and kind. Everything was efficiently organised and managed and I feel that I benefitted enormously from the course.
The accommodation [shared apartment] was ok.
I would only like to add that [the school] is a great language school with excellent teaching staff. I would be happy to return there and to recommend it to others.
- K. McCann
Intensive 20 with Shared Apartment
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Granada, and I always found the school staff to be very kind and well prepared. I absolutely loved both my accommodation and the people managing it, and its unique position gave me a fantastic occasion to move and explore the wonderful quarter of the Albaicìn. Granada is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to, which added to the experience of learning a new language I particularly cared about. Its history, art and tradition make it a most enjoyable place to study and learn about another culture.
- S. Pelucchi
Intensive 20 with Host Family
Excellent support from experienced admin and teaching staff. Experienced, enthusiastic, friendly staff. Lively, enjoyable lessons which improved my Spanish on all levels. Was placed in exactly the right level group. Great atmosphere that made making new friends and contacts very easy. Superb range of excursions - day, evening, weekend. Many free of charge such as the excellent guided tours and open air cinema. I would highly recommend.
The first family was unsuitable as there was a smoker in the house. The school moved me to a better family within 6 hours. Bright, airy appartment in the centre of town. Lovely couple.
- K. Phipps
Intensive 20 with Shared Apartment
On the first day we were asked a few questions by a teacher in order to assess our level and place us in a class, I found that my class was perfect for my level of Spanish! The teachers almost always spoke Spanish but at a pace which we could all easily follow. I felt so much more confident with my Spanish after 4 weeks.
My accommodation was a flat with other students about 10 minutes' walk from the school, it was in an ideal location on a plaza with a mini supermarket, cafes and plenty of tapas bars! I found living with students to be best for me as it enabled me to make friends quickly and easily, and although we were all native English speakers we all tried to add a bit of 'Spanglish' into our conversations.
The school organised activities every day in the afternoons/evenings which was a great opportunity to meet people and make the most of our time in Granada. My favourite activity was definitely the weekly tapas night! I also had the opportunity to visit the world famous Alhambra thanks to the school.
- S. Ruse
Intensive 20 with Host Family
Exceeded my expectations, absolutely no-stress but motivating atmosphere. Loved it, finally my Spanish is communicative!
Great accommodation, though maybe a bit too dark (room in a tenement located quite low). We loved living there and started to feel like a locals thanks to our host.
Great service in all aspects, both Apple service, our host and the school were great.
- T. Darda
Intensive 20
Susana and Pepi were terrific and I loved their methodology. Thanks, Apple Languages. As always, eyes lo maximo!
- K. Raines
Intensive 20 with Shared Apartment
I had an excellent week of classes in Granada. The courses were all very well organised and the school did whatever they possibly could to help out the students - to make sure that they were in the right level of class, etc. I particularly enjoyed the fact that every day the lessons were 1.5 hrs of learning grammar and 1.5 hrs of conversation where the teacher made sure that everybody spoke/had a chance to speak.
I stayed in the school accommodation. It was a flat right next to the school, very well located in the old town. The room was nice and big and if there were any problems they were fixed straight away.
Brilliant school with excellent teachers.

Intensive 20 with Host Family
I am writing this to say a huge Thank You to you and your team for arranging my trip to Granada!
I had the most amazing experience! Everything - from my host, who made me so very welcome, to my time in school, the trips I experienced - just a fantastic time!
The school was great - the tutors were lots of fun while at the same time, being very professional with lots of interesting teaching styles, to encourage each student. I was hugely impressed and saw that they genuinely love their roles at the school. I went on lots of really interesting trips too, so much history, and being accompanied by tutors brought it all to life.
Everyone I met made me feel so very welcome - I feel I had a taste of real Spain in this beautiful city, and had so many interesting conversations with local people too. So, once again, thank you all so much for making this experience possible, arranging everything so well.

Intensive 20 with Shared Apartment
The course was professional and funny, one of the best experiences of my life!!!
- R. Macioce
Intensive 20 + Private lessons with Host Family
My experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The course offered the right balance of a formal curriculum alongside additional lessons tailored for my individual needs as a learner. After only a fortnight, I left the course with a far more comprehensive knowledge of key grammatical concepts that I had always struggled to grasp as a learner in the UK. More importantly, this course completely re-ignited my passion for learning Spanish which had begun to wane in recent years. The accommodation (a host family) was equally excellent. My host family was extremely hospitable and quickly made me feel at home. My only regret is that I was not able to stay longer.
