Learn Italian in the home of your teacher in Italy. By staying with a qualified Italian language tutor, you, your child, teenager or family group can benefit from total linguistic and cultural immersion in a friendly home environment. Enjoy a combination of structured language lessons and conversational practice in everyday situations.
A full Italian immersion with an Italian teacher homestay means that whether your child is preparing for an exam or you personally are brushing up on your Italian language skills for a professional qualification you have access to a uniquely intensive path to progress. Your Italian teacher will assess your needs or those of your child and develop a personalised, one-to-one language course. So it’s not only a more targeted approach to learning but also a more economical one as there are no fees for a middleman.
And unlike a typical teacher agency, you choose the Italian teacher personally. Using Lingoo’s secure messaging system you can get to know your teacher first and then make all arrangements – including payments – directly with the teacher.
They will help you learn and practise Italian in everyday situations, in formal lessons or while indulging your hobbies. So it is always worthwhile choosing one with similar interests to your own. Some Italian teachers can also arrange to pick you (or your child) up at the airport or station and transport you there again when you return home.
Our Italian teacher profiles are diverse. Some are full-time homestay teachers while others are school teachers with availability only during school holidays. Others are part-time homestay teachers and will explain their availability on their profiles.

• All Lingoo offers clearly state whether you or your child will be the teacher’s only student

Hundreds of approved qualified teachers are registered with Lingoo. You can choose a teacher based on where you want to stay, shared interests – even diet or religion. Each Lingoo teacher has a personal profile that includes references and evaluations from students who’ve stayed on a homestay with that teacher. This all helps to avoid that terrible moment when you first ring the teacher’s bell and wonder who will answer, because you already know each other.
Remember that Lingoo teachers go through a stringent validation process. Their identity and qualifications are checked personally by the Lingoo validation team before they can register with us. Together with references and visitor evaluations, contracts for each reservation, and support from the Lingoo team when misunderstandings occur, we ensure that your homestays are safe, secure and offer great value for money. The Lingoo contract is also there to help unaccompanied children pass through Immigration. Even your deposit is covered by our cancellation rules.
The epicentre of the Roman empire and the birthplace of renaissance, Italy was and still is a very important and powerful European country. Only being united as a country in 1861, its 20 regions are more akin to individual states with different dialects, traditions, architectural styles and specialist cuisines. Of course Italian food is known the world over but nowhere is it better enjoyed than authentically in Italy itself.
From the colosseum and pantheon in Rome to the Duomo and Michelangelo’s ‘David’ sculpture in Florence, the country has an unparalleled amount of artistic treasures. The natural landscape of Italy is also extraordinarily diverse ranging from the Northern snow capped alps to the Southern sun drenched Amalfi coast. Life in Italy is very much about living well and indulging in the finer things, whether that be sipping a freshly ground coffee in a quaint cafe in Venice or shopping until you drop in the fashion capital of Milan.
