Experience True German Culture with a Local Host Family in Freiburg
The best option for full language immersion is staying with a German host family in Freiburg. Living with a local family allows you to experience German culture first-hand and practice the language in real-life situations.
All our families in Freiburg are carefully selected and vetted to ensure you have a pleasant and safe stay. We choose hosts based on their hospitality and their genuine willingness to share their time and experiences with international students.
Our homestay accommodation in Freiburg meets high standards of comfort and quality. These homes are located in safe residential areas with easy access to the Alpadia language school.
We offer a diverse range of host profiles to suit every student's needs.
Your host might be a single professional, a young family, a working couple, or a retired pair who enjoys hosting international guests.
You can choose between single or shared bedrooms depending on your preference and availability. All rooms provide a quiet space for study and relaxation, while bathrooms are typically shared with the family.
Homestay accommodation in Freiburg includes breakfast-only or half-board options from Monday to Sunday. Half-board is perfect for students who want to enjoy traditional German dinners with their hosts.
A shared kitchen is available for use only when booking the breakfast-only option. If you choose half-board, the kitchen facilities are generally not available for student cooking, as meals are provided.
Laundry services are conveniently provided once a week within the family home. This ensures you can focus on your studies and social life without worrying about domestic tasks.
We accommodate special requests for allergies, specific locations, or dietary requirements, including vegan, celiac, and halal diets. Please note that these personalized requests may require an additional supplement.
You can book the same number of accommodation weeks as your German course or fewer. However, the duration of your stay in the host family can never exceed the length of your studies.
Full details of your host family will be sent to you approximately two weeks before your arrival in Freiburg. This allows you to introduce yourself and prepare for your exciting stay in Germany.
