Why learn Spanish in Valencia?
Only those who have visited Valencia understand the hidden gems: stunning beaches, delicious cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and a captivating city that remains largely untouched by mass tourism, all nestled by the warm Mediterranean Sea. Valencia seamlessly blends the historic with the modern, showcasing breathtaking Gothic and Baroque architecture alongside contemporary wonders like Santiago Calatrava’s City of Arts and Sciences. Within its expansive historic centre, you'll find an array of churches, plazas, markets, and shops, as well as numerous restaurants serving the world-famous Valencian dish, paella. By learning Spanish in Valencia with us, you’ll uncover these delights and much more!
Locals often say that Valencia has always turned its ‘back to the sea’, meaning the city’s main attractions are not centred around the beach, unlike other Mediterranean hotspots. However, recent developments have transformed this perspective. Valencia now boasts an impressive marina for the America's Cup yacht race and a permanent street circuit by the beach that hosted the Formula One Grand Prix for five years.
Valencia is a city of celebration, filled with fairs, fashion weeks, and fiestas, and visitors are warmly invited to join in the festivities! The city also thrives in music and theatre, hosting numerous internationally acclaimed events in its world-class venues. If shopping is on your agenda, Valencia has it all-from high-end fashion to chic boutiques and lively weekly flea markets.
A converted riverbed winds through the city from the north-west corner to the marina, featuring the Valencia Bioparc (the city’s remarkable zoo), beautiful gardens, Europe’s largest aquarium, and the stunning City of Arts and Sciences. With so much to offer, an increasing number of international students are choosing Valencia as their destination for Spanish courses, experiencing the very best of Spain in this authentically ‘Spanish’ city.

What accommodation is available in Valencia?
Available accommodation
If you want to have as much opportunity as possible to speak Spanish with native speakers, then homestay lodging is the choice for you! Carefully selected hosts offer private single or twin rooms* and provide one, two, or three meals per day as part of your accommodation package. Hosts all live within 25 minutes’ travel from the school by public transport, and some live within walking distance. All host families offer a comfortable, safe environment and can also provide a weekly laundry service. You will have your own keys to come and go as you please, but you must respect house rules and schedules.
For more independence, stay in a shared apartment, private studio apartment, or one of the school’s own student residences. The shared apartments offer private single or twin rooms, a fully-equipped kitchen with a washing machine, and a lounge with a television and comfortable seating. These apartments are ideal for students aged 18 - 25 who are travelling on a budget and looking for a highly social experience. Communal areas include the kitchen, bathroom(s), and living facilities. There is also free WIFI. Rooms are offered on a self-catering basis, which gives you the freedom to cook for yourself during your stay. Bed linen is provided but towels are not, so you should bring your own. Rooms have heating and fans (no air-conditioning). There are two types of standard shared apartment: budget and central. Budget apartments are located no more than 25 minutes away from the school by public transport and have between three and five bedrooms and one or two bathrooms. The central apartments are located around 15 minutes from the school on foot and have between two and seven bedrooms and one or two bathrooms. Larger apartments may have another bathroom.
If the experience of sharing with other students appeals to you but you would like accommodation that offers more luxury, opt for a stay in one of the San Dionisio apartments. This newly renovated apartment building is located right next to the school and houses six shared apartments, each with four or five en-suite bedrooms. In addition to a private bathroom, each newly decorated room also has a fridge, air-conditioning and heating. The shared spaces include a comfortable living room, fully-equipped kitchen, TV, laundry facilities and free WIFI. Bed linen and towels are provided and changed once a week during the weekly cleaning service.
If you prefer complete privacy, then a studio apartment would be the best option for you. Our school works with a modern residence located on Avenida del Puerto—one of the main hubs of Valencia. The city centre and riverbed gardens are close by, and the beach is only 15 minutes away. Travel to the school takes 25 minutes by public transport or 10 minutes by bike. The large residence has 120 single studios, each with a kitchen, study area, private bathroom, heating/air-conditioning and WIFI. You’ll also have access to an excellent range of shared facilities such as the gym, common and private study rooms, games and relaxation areas, garden and terrace, launderette, and 24-hour reception. Bed linen and towels are provided and replenished every two weeks. Students staying for four weeks or longer also have the option to add a half-board or full-board meal plan.
If student residence accommodation is the most appealing option to you, our school in Valencia has you covered with no less than three options to choose from! The newest residence is the Residence Boutique—a stylish residence located just 9 minutes’ walk away from the language school. This recently renovated building has 24 single rooms and three double rooms, all of which have been thoughtfully decorated. Each room has a study area, private bathroom, heating and air-conditioning. WIFI is available throughout the building, and all students will have access to the common kitchen, living room, dining room, terrace, and laundry facilities. Bed linen and towels are provided and are changed during the weekly cleaning service.
Residence La Nave is located on a quiet pedestrianised street sandwiched between the old town and the commercial centre with a short 12-minute walk to the school. La Nave is a smaller residence, offering 12 single and twin rooms, all with heating and air-conditioning, some with private en-suite bathrooms and some with shared bathrooms. All residents have access to the shared kitchen, the dining room, and the residence’s private terrace. Bed linens and towels are provided and are changed during the weekly clean.
The final option is the Residence Mercado, a student house that offers highly social accommodation on a budget. This is a more basic residence that includes a mix of single, twin and triple rooms, all with access to shared bathrooms. The location remains convenient with the Central Market of Valencia and the language school being just a short 6-minute stroll away. All bedrooms have a study area, heating and a fan. The common areas, which include kitchen, living room, and dining room benefit from heating and air-conditioning. There are also laundry facilities and free WIFI throughout the building. Bed linen and towels are provided, as is a weekly cleaning service.
All accommodations are available between 16:00 on the Sunday before your course starts until 12:00 (midday) on the Saturday after your course ends. We may be able to arrange extra nights on arrival and/or departure for you if needed.
*Please note that solo travellers can only book a shared room if staying in a budget or central shared apartment, or in Mercado, La Nave or Boutique residences. If you book a twin room in any other accommodation type but are travelling alone, you will be swapped to a single room.

Valencia: Student reviews & feedback
Intensive + Cookery
The course was excellent, but a bit too hurried. The cooking lessons were a good way to practice Spanish as well.
- J. Giezeman
Intensive + cookery
The Valencia language school exceeded my expectations. I was apprehensive that due to my lack of Spanish (zero!!) I would feel overwhelmed and not have the skills to make the most out of the course. However, throughout the whole week i felt supported and encouraged by my teachers - Maria Hose and Fanny, my fellow classmates and all staff members at the school.
They have encouraged me to continue with my language studies back home!! I particularly appreciated that the teaching was carried out in Spanish as although at first intimidating, I felt it really aided my learning and kept me fully immersed in the language.
The cooking courses ran by Fanny were a particular highlight, not only was the food delicious but the experience of sharing a meal together with new people was just lovely!!
- E. Richardson
Super intensive with San Dionisio apartments
The school was very good. There were lots of different classes available as to match everyone's level as best as possible. The quality of the teachers and the materials were excellent.
Accommodation at the San Dionisio apartments were good and very close to the school which was excellent.
Apple Language Courses have arranged the course and my accommodation very well. Their communication is clear and prompt. I was very happy with their services.
- J. Gerrard
Intensive 20 with Host family
The teacher was very bubbly and she spoke a lot in a clear enough way for me to understand what she said, so from the aural comprehension point of view she was very helpful. Loved the town and all the afternoon activities you organised for us
- M. Haines
Intensive 20 with Studio apartment
The course was well organised and the staff excellent. It was well planned and interesting and i felt i made good progress in the short time i was there.
I enjoyed the course and the city was very interesting, although much larger than i expected, I am intending to do 2 courses a year in different parts of Spain. So far Cadiz is my favourite......
- J. Halloran
Intensive 20 with Host Family
The course is interesting, majority of the teachers are so kind and so nice and the other staff are very accommodating too. The tours that the school offers are great and you'll have the best time with Victor and Sofia! Furthermore: overall a good school, good books, great people, good vibe and nice teachers.
Apple Language course helped me through everything and the communication was always fast, clear and great! If you want to book through an organisation, I fully recommend them!!
- S. Steenbergen
Intensive 20 with Host Family
The course was good and I definitely learned a lot. After completing the oral and writing assessment you are sorted into the right class for your level. My class was about 10 students and everyone was friendly and eager to improve their Spanish. The course improved my Spanish speaking and my confidence as well as being fun!
I stayed with a woman who had a flat maybe a 20 minute walk from the centre (or 10mins by bus). She was very welcoming and friendly, and provided delicious meals typical of Spain. There was another student staying in the flat too who was a similar age and we got on very well.
It was such a valuable experience for so many reasons- I met interesting people from all over Europe, my confidence developed, and of course my Spanish improved! The first day or two is quite daunting coming on your own to another country not knowing anyone, but you settle in quickly and soon make friends.
- E. Mc Nabb
Private lessons
I really enjoyed the course and I felt I learned a lot. This was my first time learning Spanish and the course has made me enthusiastic to learn the language.
The building where my Spanish lessons took place was absolutely beautiful. It creates a great environment to learn in.
Overall, my visit to the school was outstanding. The staff were extremely nice, especially my Spanish teacher, Martha, who made learning fun and educational, and always put a smile on my face when I walked into class. Muchas gracias todas!

Intensive 20 with Host Family
I did the 20 lesson intensive Spanish course (A1 for beginners.) Really welcoming and enthusiastic teachers. The level test was nothing to worry about - just try your best even if you speak very little Spanish! Lovely air-conditioned school right in centre of city. Great facilities. Good range of activities to join in from 6pm including a walking tour of the town, graffiti art tour, a dance class and paella evening. Complete immersion in Spanish - learnt so much in just one week!
Stayed with host family in flat about a 10 minute bus ride & 10 min walk from the school. Retired couple so welcoming and patient with our Spanish!
Overall, this was a very positive experience - the combination of the course and host family worked really well for improving our Spanish. Would definitely do again!
- Z. Glenister
Intensive 20
The course was well organised, structured and fun. The teachers were extreamly profesional and approachable; fun and engaging. The school provided a fabulous book for us to work from, with each chapter leading on from the other. Every leasson was connected to the last and was fun and interactive!
My accommodation was in a fabulous position, big and comfortable. It was a little tired and there were a few things that needed to be replaced and fixed, but overall it was great.
I can not rate the school and teachers higher. It really was a joy to have attended and would definitely attend this school again and in fact will again next year!!!
- R. Hartley
Intensive 20 + Sailing with Host Family
The course was pretty clear to me, teachers really knew how to teach the students. Made big steps, started as beginner and really recognize topics on the streets.
I only had bed and breakfast in a host-family, this had some advantages, breakfast every morning and not the struggle with doing groceries. However, the advantages of a host-family is to speak as much as possible Spanish but when you don't eat dinner with them you will lose this advantage. Altogether, the host-family was nice. The house looked good and everything was clean.
- V. Lemstra
Intensive 20 with Studio Apartment
Great teachers, very patient, very helpfull. The lessons were perfect, alternate, write, listen and speak, The first week I had my lessons in the afternoon. It was easy to convert them from noon to morning. My accommodation was great!! Lots of space, very clean and quiet.
Everything was just perfect! I had a great time in Valencia.
- C. van Swieten
Intensive 20 with Shared Apartment
I attended the course as a recap for Spanish as I haven't spoken it in the last 2 years and not in a way to learn a lot of new things. As a recap the 2 weeks were perfect I got an overview of all the grammar and refreshed my vocabulary a little bit.
The accommodation was fine. I had some issues with the heat as the ventilator wasn't sufficient to get that much fresh air into my room as I had an inner yard window with no wind but despite that it was good.
- F. Hüffer
Intensive 20 with Student Residence
The teachers very nice - helped understand and break down the material. I felt very comfortable and at home in my host family, host family was very caring and sweet.
- I. Elmasry
Intensive 20 with Student Residence
Very well organised and taken seriously, it has definitely improved my Spanish. The residence is perfect for young students who need nothing else but a comfortable room and somewhere to cook/eat meals. Very secure and ideal for students.
- R. McDermott
Intensive 20 with Host Family
I absolutely loved the course. It was challenging but I'm a positive way and the teachers were amazing. I was only there for 2 weeks but I felt like I learnt a lot and have definitely boosted my confidence. I took part in a number of extra activities which were all great except one which was disappointing. However the staff were very apologetic and handled it well.
The lady I stayed with was so lovely. I was a bit nervous when I found out she spoke no English but I think it was a good thing as it made me focus a lot more. She was so flexible which meant I could spend time with the people I met as well as her. She was also a fantastic cook which is always a bonus!
Thank you for all your help prior to departure. I had a lot of questions and not once did you make me feel like I was being a pain.
- H. Hartman
Super Intensive 25 with Host Family
Overall, I was delighted with the course I chose. As I booked an intensive course, the classes were quite challenging at times but I feel like I learned so much in the space of three weeks. The conversation classes really helped me to improve on my oral work for my exams next year. I had such a good experience and I hope that one day I will return to Valencia again!
My friend and I couldn't have asked for a nicer host family. They were so nice and accommodating to us. They only spoke Spanish so it was really good for us as we had to really push ourselves to speak in Spanish. We were very lucky we were put with a nice family as it made our experience all that more special!
- A. Greaney
Intensive 20 with Host Family
I took a 4 week intensive course and the course was really good! This was my 2nd time at the school, the method of learning is as always the best! Fun and easy, the teachers adapt easily to your needs.
I lived with with a host family and overall it was really good. They are so kind and the stay with them has been enjoyable! I took half board with breakfast and dinner, but the best thing living with the family is that you can always practice your spanish and get really close to the spanish culture!
Be happy, live life and learn spanish in one of the most dynamic and beautiful city in Spain!! You'd love it!
- L. Christensen
Business course
The course was intensive and solely in Spanish,10 students, there was no hiding place. 2 teachers Patricia and Carla both excellent.1 one/one teacher Pau gives everything. I would go back in the morning unfortunately I have to work, but my desire to learn has been immeasurably stimulated and its thanks to the wonderful teaching. My classmates, who were strangers at first, were kind and helpful, generous. I think about them and the whole experience very positively.
You can't do any better than provide excellence and that was what I experienced.
- J. Mccarron
My course was fantastic. 4 hours a day 5 days a week and many long weekends (because spain loves holidays). i did this for 15 weeks and it went by to fast. the teachers were great and enthusiastic (they even took us out at night sometimes and we would have dinners arranged), and the school was in an ideal location in the middle of valencia, spain.
If you have the opportunity to go to spain to learn spanish, Valencia is ideal.
- J. Aboitiz
I just did 10 hours of one to one Spanish in two & a half hour sessions over 4 days, which was probably a bit too intense ie to keep up my concentration for that long each day, but otherwise it was great & i enjoyed it, & have hopefully learned quite alot.
- G. Phillips
I thought the course was excellent! All the staff were very friendly and made learning spanish great fun!
I chose to stay in university accommodation which was generally fine- the only drawback was that is was quite far away from the language school/where my friends in host families lived.
- L. Bremner
Super Intensive 25 + Private lessons with Host Family
The course lived up to it's name and was truly "super-intensive". Hard work but very enjoyable. The course structure and organisation was excellent and the all the teachers were highly committed and very professional. I enjoyed all the classes but especially the private ones which were superb. The course objectives were clearly stated and all achieved. I can thoroughly recommend it.
A warm welcome awaited my arrival to a spacious apartment only a 10 minutes walk from the school. My casera was warm, friendly and couldn't do enough for me. My room was comfortable and my host was very flexible about meals. She also spent a lot of time with me conversing in Spanish. It was like having 2 or 3 additional private lessons every day!
Because of hearing difficulties I struggled in the first class I attended but was quickly moved to an easier level where all the teachers both recognised my problem and went out of their way to make the task of learning easier for me. I could supplement the learning in the conversational and private lessons so that my own personal objectives were all achieved. As much as I enjoyed the mixed age group classes I think it would be great if the Valencia school offered courses for the over 50s as they often have different learning objectives and learn at a slower rate than the youngsters.
- A. Birchall
Super Intensive 25 with Host Family
Course
I took the super intensive 25 lesson course and as well 1 private lesson. The course is very good for those who can only stay 1 week which is very little, but to get the most out of it. And after few days I could speak fluently with of course knowledge of the language before I arrived.
Accommodation
My accommodation was indescribable, I couldn't be more happier and satisfied with the quality and I want to go back.
Extra
If you consider to take a course, do it! You will not regret! You will see a language with new eyes and as well have a well deserved little vacation when you are there! I loved it, and want to do this again!! I will definitely go back to Valencia!
- L. Christensen
Intensive 20
Course
My course was well run and taught by experienced and friendly staff. Nuria and Carla were the better teachers of the three that I experienced. Course materials provided were good, and as the text book (with CD-rom) is mine to keep, I can continue with the course at home. The emphasis on speaking was great, the class gave a safe environment to practice the language without fear of making mistakes. Conversation and discussion around the textbook topics was encouraged, and allowed a variety of vocabulary to be learned. The extra curricular activities organised by the school were varied and interesting, including educational, cultural and fun social events for students.
Accommodation
My accommodation was not booked through Apple Languages.

The only negative is I could only stay for 2 weeks :(

Intensive 20
Very organised and professional school. Competent, friendly teachers and interesting course content. Valencia is an ideal city to learn Spanish and the locals are so friendly and encourage you to practice your language skills outside of the classroom.
- A. Phillpott
Intensive 20
I thought the school was very organized and the facilities were beautiful. The teachers were very personable. I am at a B1 level and was enrolled in the intensive 20 course. I would like the courses much more if they would concentrate more on conversation rather than grammar, as the hardest part of learning a language for me is to be able to speak.
- T. Arnone
The course focussed on communication, which was great. Although grammar was covered, making yourself understood was the focus, which was excellent. The accommodation itself was very good,
- M. Tomaszewski
The classes were well structured and the teachers were very helpful, fun activities were integrated into important lessons so it made the classes enjoyable. Great atmosphere in the building. My accommodation was very central, 15 minutes walk from the school and along the bus line so basically everywhere was within access.
- E. Walsh
Really enjoyed it. The teaching was much more stimulating than my teaching back at school in the UK and I was encouraged to join in a lot more. The lady I stayed with was very nice to me and cared for me in a very kind and motherly way. I do thank her.
- L. Ciniewicz
Excellent teaching standards, good exercises and friendly staff. Good accomodation, great view, double bed, had the apartment to myself for a week which was nice, but also had other people there for the rest of the time. Great! Valencia is a great city and it is sooo easy to make friends at the school. I would recommend a trip to anyone looking to learn spanish.
- K. Roberts
Good school, great fun class made up of all ages and nationalities. Two excellent teachers in Bea and Violeta. The location of the host family accomodation was good with easy access to all Valencia. The host couple were lovely and made me and the other student feel very welcome. The flat was quite small but clean and tidy. Valencia is a great city with lots of things to do, good transport and friendly locals. As a complete beginner I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would recommend it to others of any age.
- N. Courts
It is nice to hear the different opinions of your classmates from all over the world. I stayed with a very friendly family, they did everything they could to make you feel at home, It's not a 5* hotel, but I would not like to exchange it.
- H. Broens
It was a very cool experience, I enjoyed a lot, I liked everything the school, the city!
- R. Celine
The teachers at the school were on the whole very professional and had a good teaching style. The accommodation I thought was excellent! It was extremely clean and very modern. Transport to the school was very good and regular.

The course was very good - programme well-suited to my interests and level of language. Excellent accommodation, clean and well-designed. We were very pleased with the location of the school and the accommodation just a short walk away.
- G. Adams
The school was very well organised with enthusiastic and helpful staff. The teaching was first rate. A welcome folder was awaiting us on our first day and as well as giving us a written test, we were asked to converse on a on-to-one basis as well. A lovely family who made us very welcome and provided superb meals, they lived in a (very comfortable, spacious) flat.
- A. Hurman
The tutors and staff at the school were excellent and very supportive. The course materials were also good. My accommodation spotless and well organised.
- J. Ruttledge
The course was top notch and exactly what I needed. The accommodation was brilliant, being immersed amongst Spanish neighbours and potential friends was excellent for practicing my second language. I would strongly recommend this course or one similar and definitly have thoughts of returning to further myself and enjoy it once more.
- C. Blundell
I found the course really stimulating. The atmosphere in the group was good with lots of stimulation from both of the teachers. My accommodation was very clean, tidy and comfortable. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and one to be repeated.
- P. Carmen
The course was very good and the standard of teaching was excellent. Accommodation was first class. The host was very friendly and welcoming.
- J. Stevenson
I was glad I knew some Spanish as I think I would have felt out of my depth slightly, even for complete beginners it does help to have some vocabulary. The professors were great, they made it fun and also when we were outside of school there were just as friendly. My host lady was lovely, she always checked if I liked the food and if not she would always buy the things I did like. I had a set of keys and I could come and go as I pleased. Washing was also done for me and anything I needed I just had to ask her. The city of Valencia is beautiful and I have made so lovely friends. I would be happy to book another course in the future.
- M. Reed
The course was good and the teachers were excellent.
- N. Fox
A good mixture of oral and written practice. I would have liked more grammar but this is probably due to my own teaching background and learning methods. Very dynamic teachers, always ready to answer questions, generally helpful and friendly. A great experience. My accommodation was very conveniently situated within easy walking distance of the school and town centre. Comfortable room, though basic, with shared bathroom, all very clean. My host was very welcoming, likes the company of students, and specially likes to talk. Good practice for anyone studying Spanish.
- K. Monnier
The course was well led, the content was interesting, and Spanish was maintained throughout grammar. All of the staff were very helpful.

Valencia is a great place to learn Spanish. The teachering staff is young but experienced, motivated and helpful. The school offers cultural activities for every day of the week and most of them are free ! I can only recommend the school to anybody else. I stayed in a quiet spacious apartment with 4 bedrooms and 5 beds, located near the center of the city (for stations by Metro) it took on average 15-20 minutes to get to the school.

The private classes were particularly good for learning grammar and the group classes were very useful for conversation. The accommodation was a very spacious, fully equipped, clean and conveniently located flat.

The course was excellent in every respect. The school organisation was first rate. The staff were extremely competant and the teaching methods successful and revolutionary. My host family was very Spanish, friendly and offered everything I needed.

A good introduction to my (introductory) Spanish course by excellent teachers. Nice clean classrooms and good location of school in the centre of Valencia.
- R. Mypal
The course was very well run and I have come back with much more Spanish than I ever thought I would. The accommodation was very clean, the towels were changed regularly and the staff were very friendly. I am hoping to go back next year for the next level.

I loved the variety of people attending the courses. Such a great mix of ages and nationalities. I would definitely recommend the course. It was nice to be able to walk downstairs to attend classes.

Dreaming of Spanish in Valencia
Hello! My name is Sylvana. I was an intern for Apple Language Courses back in 2017. I have always dreamt of continuing my language learning and now I've got that chance! I've just started a Spanish language course with the Apple Languages school in Valencia - I am enrolled on an 8-week Intensive course, so hope to make excellent progress!
In this blog post, I will explain a little bit about what it's like to stay with a Spanish host family. I'll tell you my current level of the language and what I hope to achieve during my time in Valencia. I will also give you a small itinerary of a typical week with activities at the school.
