What's Included in the Price?
Your course fee covers the English teaching and learning programme at The Language Kitchen. Lessons are taught in small groups and are designed around the level and needs of the participants, with plenty of opportunity to use English naturally throughout the week:

Accommodation
Accommodation is available at Villa DanSio for participants attending The Language Kitchen courses. Stays are normally arranged for 7 nights, with a choice of shared or single accommodation depending on availability.
Meals during your stay
Meals during the course are organised and provided through a local catering provider. This allows participants to enjoy meals together during the week while continuing to use English socially outside lesson time. A small number of evenings are left free for participants to make their own plans.
