My home

sala.: I live alone in a comfortable and elegant apartment in a quiet area well served by public transport, close to the center of town. On foot with a pleasant 10 minutes walk you find yourself downtown where you can do some shopping or visit exhibits and museums.

I am a friendly and a hearty person, I like to see friends and I have many interests: going to the cinema, reading, going out with friends in haunts and restaurants of the city and of the surroundings, walking in the park and short trips during the weekend. From Reggio Emilia, in a day, one can reach very interesting places and cities famous for their art and the beauty of their monuments.

.: For your accommodation:

I have reserved a bedroom and a bathroom.

The room is furnished with a comfortable double sofa bed, a comfortable desk, a bookshelf, a television and a stereo.

A small wardrobe is next to the bedroom and the bathroom with shower is well equipped and independent.

If you have a laptop you can connect to internet whenever you want.

In the common living room there is a comfortable lounge area and a dining area, a television, a stereo, a DVD player and a video recorder all of these also useful for the study activities; the kitchen is modern and well equipped.

In spring and summer it is pleasant to eat outside on the balcony.

The house is well heated and for the summer heat it is equipped with air conditioning. Nearby there is a beautiful park, very popular for pleasant walks and bicycle rides along the river.

Dear Luisa, I would once again like to tell you that I'm extremely happy to have chosen my homestay in Reggio Emilia with you as a teacher. I have never had any doubts that the best way to learn Italian is to live in Italy, among Italians.

Carissima Luisa Sin dal primo momento ho sentito una sintonia e l'ho attribuita alla tua flessibilità. Sei sempre stata con me, per le gite, per le spese, per gli studi, per le scoperte a Parma e altrove, per i momenti con i tuoi amici, per le serate sul divano con il té nelle tazze inglesi...

I had a wonderful time with Luisa. I am a complete beginner and perhaps should have had more under my belt before attempting a total immersion course but Luisa is a patient teacher.

I could have stayed at home and taken one-to-one lessons here, but in the end I decided to stay a week with Luisa to try full immersion.

I attended Luisa’s homestay language course during Christmas in 2005. The lessons were very useful. Moreover I really enjoyed staying with her and sharing the holiday season with her nice family members in a very Italian way.

Ciao cara Luisa,
Sono a Parigi per il lavoro!

I had studied Italian in group settings at a number of schools in Italy before finding Luisa. I was ready for something one-on-one and more intensive and I didn't want to be in a touristy place where I'd hear English around me too much.
