Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying Italian in Palermo. These homes are often between 7 - 30 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing
It is possible to live in a rented apartment during your study in Palermo, but this tends to be more expensive. IH Sicily provides some assistance with apartment rentals or you can rent an apartment on your own. Learn more about apartment housing
IH Sicily is a group of schools which operates on the beautiful island of Sicily, in the South of Italy. IH Palermo and IH Catania are fully qualified centres that offer Italian language courses both for individuals or groups.
We offer General Italian courses, exam preparation, work experience, scuba diving and cookery lessons.
The schools are both located in the heart of the city centre. The school's excellent locations mean you are never more than a short walk away from all the major attractions in Palermo and Catania.
The wonderful sea landscape, the great warm-heartedness of its inhabitants, the rich and unique culture, its archeological and ancient sites, the active volcanoes such as Mount Etna and a Mediterranean climate, makes it an ideal place to be at any time of the year.
