Angloville is an incredible opportunity to explore Europe while benefiting from a unique travel sponsorship. You will meet locals and international participants like yourself, connect with each other, and make new friends. Moreover, Angloville serves as a stepping stone for ESL teaching careers. Over 10,000 past participants have joined us because they wanted to make their travels meaningful, learn something new, and meet incredible people in the process.
There are many reasons why our participants join Angloville and keep coming back for more. To name a few:
Whatever your motivations, we are so happy you are here with us and ready to engage in a meaningful cultural exchange. Welcome aboard!
No, teaching experience is not mandatory!
(However, it is very useful – so if you have it, let us know! If you would like to share your ideas or be a role model for other participants without any background in teaching, we would be very grateful!)
The idea of the programme is to create an environment where everyone speaks (or tries to speak) English the entire time. We ask our participants to be personable as well as passionate about sharing ideas and making conversation. Much of your time will be spent having engaging conversations – you never have to deliver a lesson! Our methodologist will provide materials about common mistakes (and how to correct them) that you can use during each speaking session.
If you are worried about your lack of experience, you will have a chance to learn basic teaching techniques during the online “Angloville Know-How” training. We have gathered all of the teaching tips and best practices that you need into a one-hour video. Your successful completion of the training is certified by an online test. You will receive the link to the training in an email before your programme.
If you have made the decision to join us at Angloville, it’s likely because you are a sociable individual who enjoys engaging in conversations with our English-learning participants. This is indeed the primary objective of our programme and your main expectation!
We primarily provide three distinct programmes tailored to different age groups: kids, juniors, and adults. Although the schedules and activities may vary, the overall structure of each programme remains the same. Check out our dedicated webpages.
Your role in the programme is simple – you’ll be participating in conversations and activities conducted entirely in English with young or adult participants. No teaching experience is required! Instead of formal classroom teaching and textbooks, we foster a laid-back, real-life environment for practicing English. Angloville is a cultural and language exchange between local and international participants.
Throughout your time with us, we’ve scheduled and structured your day to strike a balance between educational and fun activities.
For example, each morning, you will take charge of a project with our students. In the Adult programmes, you will collaborate with one local participant, while in the Junior programme, you will work with two local participants. Your responsibility will be to support and guide them as they work on a PowerPoint presentation (without doing it for them) and ensure they are prepared to present in front of the entire group by the end of the programme.
Each week, you’ll have the opportunity to meet approximately 60 new people. Just like the thousands of participants before you, you can expect to leave with new friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
We love hearing back from our participants! We want to know if we did a good job and helped you achieve your goals. The more we hear from you, the better our programmes become. Feedback also helps those thinking about joining us. If you are in this group and would like to find out about the experiences others have had, you can check out our Facebook page, watch interviews with past participants on YouTube, or check the reviews on Google, GoAbroad and more.
People are also constantly sharing their Angloville experiences in publications and blogs. You can find a few of them here:

Angloville offers unique cultural exchange programmes in beautiful venues across Europe. The programme pairs International English speakers with Local English Learners, most of whom are successful professionals or ambitious youth, for fun chitchat around a cup of coffee and enriching personal, academic or business conversations – all in English. As well as, group activities designed to boost fluency and confidence. Our programme is a mix of casual conversations, workshops, roleplays, games and fun-packed activities that allow you to get the most out of your stay and truly discover the local culture.
The programmes are held in various locations around the world, including Poland, Italy, France, Germany, the UK, and Malta. It is open to individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
During your stay, you will be involved in many speaking sessions as well as a variety of group activities. This can include indoor and outdoor games, problem-solving projects, or creative activities. Your day will start with breakfast followed by a speaking session, lunch, free time, more sessions and activities in the afternoon, and dinner. After dinner, you will participate in an entertainment hour and social time. Here are examples of a typical day on our programmes:
Junior Programmes
Adult Programmes
Conversation sessions
Each day of the programme will consist of multiple 50 minute sessions designed to provide a dynamic and stimulating experience. These sessions will include a variety of activities such as 1:1 or 2:1 conversation sessions, group activities, debates, educational workshops, handcraft activities, games, and more. This alternating schedule ensures an enjoyable and diverse programme, preventing monotony and keeping all participants engaged.
Presentation sessions
In addition to the sessions, you will have the opportunity to mentor and assist one or two local participants with their personal projects (powerpoint presentation). Together, you will work on a topic of their choice, such as music, hobbies, or holidays, and they will present their project publicly at the end of the programme. These sessions offer a chance to develop teaching, management, and supervision skills, as well as showcase your creativity by designing an engaging presentation.
Meals
Meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, are considered educational activities as well. Participants, both local and international, will be seated together at tables, ensuring a balanced mix and creating valuable opportunities for getting to know one another. Meals are not only relaxed moments but also serve as ice-breakers and a chance to deepen connections.
Free time
Did you know that you’ll have 1.5 hours of free time after lunch every day? Many participants take this opportunity to rest and relax in their rooms, while others engage in outdoor exercises like jogging, playing football, or going for a walk. Some may also enjoy the venue’s facilities such as the pool, game rooms, or spa.
Entertainment hour
During the “Entertainment hour” after dinner, organized by our International Participants, you can showcase your talents and lead your favorite hobby activity. Whether it’s singing, dancing, movies, or poetry, you are welcome to share and introduce your preferred entertainment. The daily “Entertainment Hour” offers a range of activities, such as sing-alongs with a guitar, dance or yoga classes, quiz nights, talent shows, movie screenings, and more.
Social Time
After a fulfilling day of sessions and enjoyable activities, our international participants can relax during social time. Before retiring for the night and enjoying a restful sleep, we typically engage in relaxing activities like having a soft drink, engaging in pleasant conversations in the lobby, and playing some board games.
Adult programme: You will be spending time with adults who want to improve their speaking skills. Each day of the programme you will have one session called a “personal guidance meeting” with the same participant. You will also have five 50-minute long one-on-one speaking sessions and activities. In total, there will be 6 hours of speaking sessions and two hours of group activities.
Junior programme: You will have a 50-minute “personal guidance meeting” with the same local participants each day. Afterwards, you will be leading two hours of two-on-one speaking sessions and two hours of one-on-one speaking sessions. There are also lots of activities and outdoor games planned!
Kids programme: You will work with 4 to 6 kids during the day. There are more outdoor games and team activities than speaking sessions. Twice a day you will have speaking sessions which will last for 50 minutes each. We would ask you to prepare your own activities and ideas, however, if you run out of topics to discuss, your coordinator will be there to help you. All our days are planned around various themes and the Polish and native speaker coordinators will be leading the sessions. Your role will be to support the kids in the learning process and making sure that it is done in a fun environment.
Your role is simply to participate in conversations and activities entirely in English – no teaching experience is necessary! We don’t conduct formal classroom teaching, nor do we use textbooks. Instead, we create a laidback, real-life environment for practicing English. Angloville is a cultural and language exchange between local and international participants.
We have scheduled and structured your day with a balance of educational and fun activities.
Our ultimate aim is to bring travelers from all around the globe, like you, together. Each week you will meet approximately 40 new people. Like the thousands of participants before you, you can expect to walk away with new friendships and lifelong memories.
Native Speaker Coordinators
They will be your first points of contact. The individual in this role explains your responsibilities during the programme and the rules you are required to follow. If you have any questions or concerns during the programme, please ask your NS Coordinator.
Local Coordinator
They are the first points of contact for the local participants. This individual will explain the rules and make sure that everyone speaks English. The coordinator will prepare materials, speaking session lists, and will sort out any issues and last minute requirements. Although they may seem invisible to the native speaking participants, their role is very important!
Local participants are English learners that attend the programme in order to improve their English language skills. They may come from Poland, Italy, but also from Hungary or France.
Our programmes vary from country to country due to differences in the local culture and history, but they all have one aspect in common: the participants’ pride in their country and culture! Be ready to have deep and meaningful conversations and learn about the country you’re in directly from the people that live there.
Angloville invites participants from all over the English-speaking world who are willing to share their language and culture. They come from different professional backgrounds and represent various age groups. They can be social workers, students, teachers, social activists, economists, etc. The age of our participants typically ranges from university age to people of about seventy years old.
Since our objective is to expose the local participants to as many different accents and characters as possible, we aim to have a diverse group of interesting people representing different environments with lots of experience and stories to tell.
Would you love to share your culture and converse with non-English speakers as they practice their language skills? Then the ideal English-speaking participant certainly might be you!
On a typical Angloville programme, you will engage with English learners for approximately 4 hours between breakfast and lunch, and another 4 hours in the afternoon. This interaction extends beyond mere conversations; you’ll partake in games, group activities, workshops, and more.
Additionally, you’ll have 1.5 hours of free time each afternoon to utilize the hotel facilities such as the pool, spa, and outdoor activities.
Moreover, there will be dedicated entertainment and social time after dinner, providing you with the opportunity to connect with your fellow participants.
Angloville offers a chance to engage in a meaningful cultural exchange while also enjoying yourself. It’s an active holiday, and we are committed to ensuring that you experience a leisurely atmosphere as well.
Angloville programmes are very intense but also very dynamic so you won’t get bored or exhausted. Depending on the programme (Adult, Junior, or Kids), you will be asked to spend the entire day with the group during sessions and mealtimes.
There is a free time slot after lunch that usually lasts for 1,5 hours. During free time, you can use the hotel facilities such as pools, spa, outdoor activities, etc.
After the last activity ends at 21:30, you will have social time. You can use it to socialise with your fellow participants, work, or read in your room or enjoy some well-deserved rest.
Angloville is an English immersion programme. We want to create a small village where everyone can understand everyone. The aim of the programme is to get the participants out of their shells and make sure they start actually using the language they are learning at school and/or in private lessons. The best way to make this happen is to have them avoid using their native language and force them to re-programme. Even if you speak the native language of the country you are visiting, please do not share your secret!
The Angloville Adult Programmes in Poland are designed to offer English learner students a unique and immersive English language learning experience with international travellers of the same age. This is through conversation, cultural exchange, and fun-packed activities.
On each programme, there are around 12-20 adult locals typically aged 30-60 and an equal number of English-speaking participants. Adult participants come from all walks of life and various backgrounds, from individual entrepreneurs to corporate professionals and even artists. They are successful in their profession but need a boost in their English skills, especially when it comes to communication. You can learn a lot about them, their profession, and the country itself during deep and meaningful conversations throughout the day.
The Angloville Junior Programmes in Poland are designed to offer English learner students a unique and immersive English language learning experience with international travellers of the same age. This is through conversation, cultural exchange, and fun-packed activities.
On each programme, there are around 40 local participants aged 12-18 and around 20 English-speaking participants. Local participants are primary and secondary school students. Many of them have never had a chance to speak English with native speakers, but want to gain confidence and fluency in the language. Some are even planning to study abroad at universities in English-speaking countries. International participants are university students, recent graduates, and other enthusiastic people aged 18-35. They like to explore new places and cultures, meet new people, and make their travel meaningful. The various speaking sessions and other activities give international participants a chance to make friends with locals and fellow English-speakers alike. Many Angloville participants keep in touch for years after the programme, and sometimes even visit each other later on!
The extended edition is one of our longer programmes. It lasts 8-9 days and consists of two parts: a weekend programme, often including a group of business professionals, focused on business English, and a week-long programme with a separate group of participants. These programmes start on Friday afternoon. We meet you on Friday morning, so it would be best for you to arrive in the departure city on Thursday afternoon to make sure you will arrive at the meeting point in time! The first group of students will arrive at the hotel with you and will stay there until Sunday evening. They are very often business professionals focused on improving their speaking skills, negotiations, or discussions. On Monday morning, a new group will arrive and will stay at the hotel until Saturday afternoon.
You will spend that Sunday evening at the hotel – you don’t have to go back to the departure city. This will give you time to relax before the new group arrives.
Some of our participants want to combine learning English with some family fun. This is why we have introduced a Family Programme – a special edition dedicated to the entire family! The idea and structure is exactly the same. Parents will come with their children to spend time together, have fun, and learn English at the same time. The whole group will have meals and some of the activities together. Speaking sessions, however, are separated by age group. So, if you choose to join an Adult programme, you will not have to work with the kids, and vice versa. There is a field trip organised for the whole group on Wednesday and a family talent show on Thursday night.
Our international programmes are open to participants who have completed at least one Angloville programme in the past. These programmes are held in various locations, including England, Italy, Malta, and across Europe (Eurotrips). This provides you with the chance to meet English learners from Poland or Italy, all in one location, while exploring a new country with them.
These international programmes vary slightly from our standard offerings. They range in duration from 5 to 10 days, and their benefits packages may also differ. The primary highlights of these programmes are the free city tours and excursions included. For more information, please refer to the dedicated webpages in the “Programmes” section of our website’s main menu.
These programmes also serve as an opportunity for English-learning participants to explore other countries. They are likely to be visitors just like you, offering shared experiences and topics for discussion.
Please be aware that there is no free city tour before these programmes.
Our ski programmes combine teaching English with winter fun in the beautiful Polish mountains. You will have a chance to meet people from all over the world, teach English through conversation, and enjoy winter sports.
If you participate in a ski programme, you will have one full day on the slopes, and this benefit is included at no extra charge in the package!
Ski resort
While our Ski programme prioritizes cultural exchange and provides a secure environment for practicing English, participants will also have the opportunity to enjoy one day on the slopes. We will visit Male Ciche, a charming family resort near the venue, with 3.8 km of available ski slopes. The area has 4 lifts and ranges in elevation from 878 to 1,090 meters and an amazing panoramic view over the Tatra Mountains.
Ski pass & gears rental
As part of the Ski programme package, Angloville offers several benefits, including one-day free ski gear rental (skis, poles, and helmets), a ski pass, and shuttle transportation to and from the ski resort. If desired, participants may choose to rent a snowboard and additional equipment at their own expense. Note we don’t provide ski jackets and salopettes. Also, considering the distance from the venue, it may be difficult for you to go skiing during your daily free time of 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Insurance
For safety reasons, applicants with skiing experience are given priority, as the time allocated for skiing may not be sufficient for comprehensive training. It’s important to note that skiing and winter sports activities carry inherent risks. Angloville cannot be held responsible for any injuries sustained during these activities or throughout the programme. We strongly recommend obtaining specific international medical insurance that includes coverage for mountain sports

The majority of our international participants opt to enroll for a three-week period during the peak seasons. Our usual suggestion is to engage in three programmes, with a week-long break in between, allowing for essential rest. Although most participants manage to finish the comprehensive three-week package within a single month, our primary concern is to ensure that you choose the arrangement that aligns best with your requirements.
To take advantage of our sponsored AngloTEFL online course and certification, fulfilling three Angloville programmes is necessary to secure the most advantageous offer. The 3-week practicum package provides an extensive 210 hours of real-time teaching, coupled with a 120-hour online course specifically designed for dynamic live teaching, whether in a classroom, group, individual, or online setting.
Angloville believes in the importance of thorough preparation. Once your application is complete, Angloville will provide you with online training to equip you for your upcoming experience. This preparatory training, called “Know-How” training, consists of a 60-minute video module accompanied by a quiz.
Throughout the programme, you will also receive guidance from your dedicated Coordinators team. On the first day, they will provide you with a comprehensive briefing covering programme details, student information, the code of conduct, and Angloville’s teaching best practices. Our team of staff members is readily available to assist you during the programme. You’re encouraged to seek help whenever needed during your stay, as our team comprises trained professionals with teaching expertise.
Are you interested in taking your skills to the next level?

The Angloville programme is designed to instill confidence in English conversation through a modern and practical approach. This is precisely what our students eagerly expect from the programme: the ability to converse in English just as it flows on the streets of London, within the meeting room of major international corporations in the US, or even in the comfort of homes in Australia.
Rest assured, Angloville will provide you with the necessary materials, sparing you the need to bring your own. However, you’re more than welcome to bring along images from your hometown, your family and friends, local customs, and any other materials you deem interesting. Our participants are genuinely intrigued about your life and the cultural traditions of your home country!

Premier TEFL is an Irish organization accredited by TQUK and ACDL. The 120-hour online course serves as a valuable complement to our 3-week practicum training. This module guides you through four key areas of language acquisition, which include reading, speaking, writing, and pronunciation.

Included in the TEFL Scholarship:
Once you’ve acquired our premier TEFL qualification, it’s important to note that certain international schools might stipulate specific prerequisites.
To the best of our knowledge, if you hold native fluency, opportunities to teach English span across Europe, Asia, South America, and the Middle East. However, it’s worth mentioning that the countries listed below typically uphold stringent qualifications and exacting hiring criteria, often precluding non-native English teachers: Indonesia, Japan, Kuwait, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, UAE and Vietnam.
There are also many websites dedicated to finding TEFL jobs such as tefl.com, eslbase.com and eslcafe.com.
The TEFL certification consists of a 2 or 3-programme practicum (140-210 hours) and a 120-hour online course.
Our 2 or 3-week practicum package offers up to 210 hours of live teaching using a disruptive method: we refrain from using books, traditional classroom teaching, and teaching grammar directly. Instead, we focus on practicing English through enjoyable and casual activities. This dynamic schedule guarantees a diverse and engaging programme, preventing monotony and ensuring the active participation of all participants.
Our TEFL course includes 120 hours of study, and you are allotted a span of 90 days to accomplish it. The duration of completion varies from one student to another, contingent upon individual learning preferences. Some participants have successfully wrapped up the course over a single week, while others have utilized the entire 90-day timeframe. The course is structured into 10 modules, each culminating in a 10-question test. A successful passage of the test is a prerequisite to progressing to the subsequent module.
Creating a strategic plan is essential! For instance, you might opt to tackle one or two modules per day, with designated breaks in between. The key is to establish a routine that resonates with your learning style and adhere to it consistently. With dedication, you’ll swiftly navigate through the course, achieving completion in a remarkably efficient manner.
If you aspire to start a professional teaching career, we offer several pathways:
The sole prerequisite is that you have demonstrated exceptional participation in our programme and received commendable feedback not only from our students but also from our programme’s Coordinator team.

Angloville advises International Participants to arrive 1 day before the programme starts. However, we don’t cover these additional expenses (such as shuttle from the airport, hotel room, etc).
To arrive at the first start city, we recommend: www.skyscanner.com to look for some good flight deals. Budget airlines within Europe (Wizz air and Ryanair) do have some great deals for the upcoming months, with fares starting from 30 GBP!
The departure to the venue takes place on the first day of the programme, early in the morning (between 7:00-11:00 AM), at a central easy-to-access meeting point. The Angloville bus takes the group of International and Local Participants from the starting city to the Angloville venue and back each time. Note the venue can be 1-4 hours away from the departure city.
If you visit several cities in the host country, please check your itinerary is realistic. For moving between programmes and start cities, there are budget buses within Europe (www.flixbus.com), trip & itinerary scheduler (https://www.rome2rio.com/) and trains (https://www.thetrainline.com/, https://www.intercity.pl/en/.
You can book your return flight for the last day of the programme, but make sure you will be flying from the departure city, not earlier than 23:00. Generally, our participants prefer to book their return flight the day after the programme as they can have a proper rest before flying.
We will include all the important information in an info-pack (3-4 weeks before the programme starts). We can not send this information earlier as external factors or unforeseen circumstances can occur, and we want to ensure that we give the most up-to-date information to everyone.

Angloville does not cover the costs of flights or transportation to the departure city of your selected programme(s). These expenses are your responsibility and should be arranged in advance. As a result, we kindly request that you book your travel itinerary within 14 days after your application has been approved and confirmed with a deposit.
Here are some tips on budget travel:
We provide you with transportation by bus between the departure city and the venue (and back). You will receive the day, time and meeting point by email about 2-3 weeks prior to the programme start date. On the morning of the first day of the programme, we will pick up the whole group from the meeting point and aim to arrive at the venue just in time for lunch. On the last day of the programme, the Angloville bus will come to pick you up and take you back to the departure city.
If you are thinking about combining multiple cultural exchange programmes to visit other European cities, you will be responsible for booking your transportation between each departure city. Arranging the travel is quite easy and can be done both online and at the ticket office.
Yes. We advise you to arrive a day before the programme starts, which means you will have to book the accommodation yourself. Angloville only provides you with accommodation for the duration of your programme. If you decide to complete a three-week package with Angloville, booking the accommodation between the programmes will also be your responsibility. We suggest you use Couchsurfing (for a free accommodation), HostelWorld and Booking.com (for a bed in a dorm or a cheap hotel deal), or AirBnB (for a private room or a flat to share).
The city-centre of the departure is always a good option.
The departure might be early in the morning, between 7:00 AM – 11:00 AM. Generally, the meeting point is located in the city centre, near convenient public transport (bus, metro, tram, etc) or taxi (Uber, Bolt, FreeNow, etc). In Poland, we suggest using this website for local city transport: https://jakdojade.pl/onboarding
Angloville does not cover personal expenses, so we advised you travel with your credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc), since most stores, restaurants, hotels, and public organisations are likely to accept this method of payment. However, we advise you to bring some cash (pocket money) with you for small expenses:
Angloville is unable to provide airport pickup services, and we do not cover transportation expenses from the airport, train station, or your hotel to the designated meeting point.
We have specified meeting points that are communicated in our Infopack and Brief Reminders emails.
We would be glad to give you some tips about taxis, shuttles, public transport (bus, train) from the airport to the city centre or meeting point. Generally, the meeting point is located in the city centre, near convenient public transport (bus, metro, tram, etc) or taxi (Uber, Bolt, FreeNow, etc). In Poland, we suggest using this website for local city transport: https://jakdojade.pl/onboarding
Angloville guarantees a relaxed atmosphere during the programme, and we aim for all participants to feel at ease while particpating and interacting. Therefore, opting for casual and comfortable clothing is highly recommended.
Since you will be sharing a room, we recommend bringing pyjamas or suitable sleeping attire. Ensure you have comprehensive information about the seasonal weather and local customs in each country. However, please ensure you pack clothing that is appropriate for the local conditions. For more information, please refer to the dedicated webpages in the “Programmes” section of our website’s main menu.
Moreover, some venues feature amenities such as a pool, sauna, or spa. Don’t forget to include your swimwear!
We maintain a stringent policy regarding personal hygiene. The venue and/or Angloville reserve the right to deny access to facilities (or even participation in the program) to any participants who disregard the hygiene code.
🇵🇱 POLAND
When packing a trip to Poland, you should first consider the time of year you are visiting. Poland has a temperate climate, so you should pack layers of clothing, including a warm jacket or coat for colder months. In summer, light clothing is best for staying cool.
Summer programmes. Summer in Poland can be hotter than you would think! So pack lightweight & breathable clothing (T-shirts, shorts, skirts, dresses, light trousers, etc.), and don’t forget sunscreen and sunglasses. Remember to bring a hat or cap, comfortable walking shoes, a swimsuit, and a towel, as some of our venues have wonderful pools or lake beaches. Although it’s summer, occasional showers are possible, so it’s a good idea to pack a lightweight rain jacket or bring an umbrella.
Winter programmes When packing for winter in Poland, prioritize warm clothing such as thermal layers, a heavy coat, and thick socks. Don’t forget essential accessories like hats, scarves, and gloves for protection against the cold. Additionally, bring waterproof outer layers, warm accessories like hand warmers, and don’t forget to pack moisturizers, sunglasses, and any necessary medications.
Ski programmes If you decide to participate in a ski programme, make sure to bring along essential specialized skiing gear and waterproof clothing, such as a ski suit, gloves, and a warm hat. Please note that Angloville does not provide ski clothing, so it’s essential to have these items ready for your trip.
Also, if you plan to explore Poland independently, consider downloading a travel app to help you get around and find things to do. Though many people in Poland speak English, it’s always nice to learn a few basic phrases in the local language to help with communication.
Don’t forget to pack all the essentials like your passport, travel insurance, and any other necessary travel documents. Also, it’s a good idea to have some cash and credit cards for shopping, snacks, and other extra activities. We also recommend that you bring a reusable bottle with you. If you’re coming from a country with a different type of electrical outlet, you’ll need to bring an adapter plug to charge your devices.
🇲🇹 MALTA
Packing for Malta should be done with comfort, lightweight clothing, and sun protection in mind. The Mediterranean climate with hot summers, are best for breathable clothing, such as cotton or linen, and comfortable footwear.
Malta has beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters, so don’t forget to pack swimwear. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are essential items to protect yourself from the sun’s strong rays.
🇮🇹 ITALY
Italy can get very hot during the summer, so pack light, breathable clothing made from natural fibres like cotton or linen. It can also get very sunny, so bring a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect your skin.
Our venues might have a pool, so don’t forget to pack swimwear. Even during the summer months, temperatures can drop at night, so bring a light jacket or shawl to keep warm. We also recommend that you bring a reusable bottle with you.
For more information, please refer to the dedicated webpages in the “Programmes” section of our website’s main menu.

To enroll in our Angloville programme, you must be at least 18 years old at the time of your application. Angloville programmes are designed to well-balance experience for all participants. Recognizing that students and participants tend to have a more enjoyable experience when they are among their peers, we take significant measures to strike the right balance. This involves carefully considering and optimizing the ratio of local participants’ linguistic abilities to the profiles of international participants’ backgrounds.
Last-minute participants are those who are available to join the programme 5 days before the programme starts. We understand that all of us find ourselves in certain circumstances where there is a will or a need for change. If you think and feel that the “last minute participant” term applies to you, please get in touch with us directly and let us know at info@angloville.com. We would really appreciate your participation and readiness to join us on such short notice!
The deposit is a mandatory requirement to participate in an Angloville programme. It is also a way of showing your commitment. In order to book your spot, Angloville will ask you to transfer us a refundable security deposit along an administrative fee. Once you have successfully completed our programme, Angloville will refund you the deposit. Note the administrative fee is not refundable and it covers PayPal, bank and admin fees, and all Local Eco & Tourism Taxes.
Angloville doesn’t own the hotels where the programmes are organised and, in case of any no-shows or last minute cancellations, we still have to cover the costs of the participants’ stay. To avoid such situations, we hold the deposit which you receive until the end of the programme.
Please be aware that you need to successfully complete the short Angloville Know-How training before joining the programme as well as the programme itself.
Of course! We all know that travelling with a friend will roughly divide the expenses by two. Join us with a friend, partner, or a relative to share the costs and the experience. We would love to hear from your friend if he or she is a native English speaker as well. All they need to do is submit their application online and let us get in touch with them. The majority of participants who join us with their friends will share a room at the venues. Before you make any arrangements, please get in touch with us to check availability.
Of course you can! Sharing this experience with someone close to you will double the benefits. The support you can get and fun shared is invaluable. Since we value the experience of being together above anything, there couldn’t be a better match! Please note that the minimum age to join Angloville programmes is 18, and for legal reasons we cannot accept underage participants.
People with disabilities are welcome to join us, as long as their disability does not prevent them from fulfilling their role as English-speaking participants. However, not all our venues are adjusted to accommodate people with disabilities and we need to know about your disability in order to find the best venue for you. Your personal advisor will be glad to advise you on the most suitable venues.
If these articles don’t answer your question, feel free to chat with us. We’re here to help you.

Angloville offers International Participants the opportunity to meet locals and travel across Europe at an affordable price.

The details about the programmes are enclosed in an ‘infopack’. This document provides you with all the necessary information you need to organize your stay and safely arrive in the country.
Our infopack is issued for each programme you have signed up for, and it is specific to the country and programme you will be attending. Angloville includes information such as:
– Meeting points and timings
– Details about the venue and its facilities
– Dress code
– Etc.
Angloville typically sends out the infopack about 4 weeks prior to the start date of your programme.
A few days before the programme starts, Angloville will also send an email named ‘Brief Reminder’ containing essential information, including the confirmation of the meeting point and times, details about the free city tour, and contact information for the responsible coordinator.
Due to external factors or unforeseen circumstances, we may be unable to send this information earlier. Our intention is to provide the most accurate details to all participants.
If you are a last-minute participant, please don’t hesitate to request your infopack(s) from your personal advisor
Note: Furthermore, the Friday before the programem starts, the coordinators in charge of the camp will contact you. They will send you up-to-date information about the meeting point and the programme in a Welcome email. Through a link in this email, you will be able to add your phone number to the WhatsApp group. Please join the WhatsApp group, as important information may be sent by the coordinator in this group before and during the programme. If, for some reason, you can’t join the group, just let your coordinator know via email.
Angloville advises International Participants to arrive 1 day before the programme starts. However, we don’t cover these additional expenses (such as shuttle from the airport, hotel room, etc).
To arrive at the first start city, we recommend: www.skyscanner.com to look for some good flight deals. Budget airlines within Europe (Wizz air and Ryanair) do have some great deals for the upcoming months, with fares starting from 30 GBP!
The departure to the venue takes place on the first day of the programme, early in the morning (between 7:00-11:00 AM), at a central easy-to-access meeting point. The Angloville bus takes the group of International and Local Participants from the starting city to the Angloville venue and back each time. Note the venue can be 1-4 hours away from the departure city.
If you visit several cities in the host country, please check your itinerary is realistic. For moving between programmes and start cities, there are budget buses within Europe (www.flixbus.com), trip & itinerary scheduler (https://www.rome2rio.com/) and trains (https://www.thetrainline.com/, https://www.intercity.pl/en/.
You can book your return flight for the last day of the programme, but make sure you will be flying from the departure city, not earlier than 23:00. Generally, our participants prefer to book their return flight the day after the programme as they can have a proper rest before flying.
We will include all the important information in an info-pack (4 weeks before the programme starts). We can not send this information earlier as external factors or unforeseen circumstances can occur, and we want to ensure that we give the most up-to-date information to everyone.
We have to exercise utmost caution when predicting the return time of the Angloville bus to the departure city. Unforeseen circumstances, such as delays due to traffic, group issues, or other factors, can occur during the journey. Generally, we aim to have the bus back in the city centre by 18:00, but it’s important to be aware that the drop-off point for intercity or international connections may not be conveniently located near the Central train station, bus station, or airport.
Based on our past experiences, catching a train, bus, or carpool for an intercity connection on the same day has posed no issues.
However, we recommend practising prudence when scheduling a flight, as it may be more unpredictable (distance to the airport, check-in procedures, security checks, etc.): as a general recommendation, we advise our international participants to consider booking their flights no earlier than 23:00, if feasible, or to opt for a departure on the following day. This will allow them to have sufficient time and rest before their flight.
Please keep in mind that the given time is a forecast, and we cannot guarantee it. Our staff will do their best to arrive on time, or even earlier if possible.
Generally, the meeting point is located in the city centre, near convenient public transport (bus, metro, tram, etc) or taxi (Uber, Bolt, FreeNow, etc). In Poland, we suggest using this website for local city transport: https://jakdojade.pl/onboarding
We will include all the important information in an info-pack (4 weeks before the programme starts). We can not send this information earlier as external factors or unforeseen circumstances can occur, and we want to ensure that we give the most up-to-date information to everyone.
In Italy and Poland, the departure might be early in the morning, between 7:00 AM – 11:00 AM. We will communicate the exact departure time with the infopack. It’s very important to be at the meeting point 10-15 minutes before the requested time. Our bus will leave on time and unfortunately, if you are late, the only way that you can join us on a programme is to get there at your own cost. Many of our venues are very isolated, and so joining us will be very difficult and costly.
International programmes: Malta, London, Eurotrips, etc. We also advise you to arrive one day earlier so you can rest after your flight and reach the meeting point indicated in the infopack with peace of mind the next day. Please note that transportation to venues in London or Malta is not included.
We advise you to arrive a day before the programme starts, which means you will have to book the accommodation yourself. The city-centre of the departure is always a good option. Angloville only provides you with accommodation for the duration of your programme. If you decide to complete a three-week package with Angloville, booking the accommodation between the programmes will also be your responsibility.
We suggest you use Couchsurfing (for a free accommodation), HostelWorld and Booking.com (for a bed in a dorm or a cheap hotel deal), or AirBnB (for a private room or a flat to share).
In some cases, it may be possible to arrive one day later (at the maximum). Our team will rely on you arriving before lunch on the second day.
However, you will need to discuss this with your personal advisor and receive approval from Angloville. Angloville requires a 3-week notice to accommodate this request.
Please note that you will need to organize your travel to the venue yourself and cover the associated costs.

Angloville strives to offer three meals a day, generally including a buffet breakfast, 2-3 course lunches, and dinners. However, the offers and meals may vary from one venue to another and from season to season.
Poland. Meat is an important part of the Central European diet, with pork being the most popular choice. Typical Polish cuisine includes sausages and ham, often served with potatoes, rice, carrots, red cabbage, and beetroot salads as side dishes. Some of the most appreciated local dishes are pierogi, żurek, bigos, and zapiekanka.
Italy. Italian cuisine is renowned for its rich flavors, fresh ingredients, and diverse dishes, including pasta, pizza, and grilled meats (pork, chicken, veal). Please note that we offer limited options for vegetarians on our Italian programmes, and we are unable to accommodate vegans or any other dietary restrictions.
For special dietary requirements, such as vegetarian or vegan diets, or if you have allergies or dietary restrictions, please contact your personal advisor, and we will assist you in selecting destinations and venues that can best accommodate your needs.
Angloville offers vegetarian and vegan options at most of our venues. The availability of these options and the specific meals served may vary depending on the country and the hotel restaurant.
| Poland | Italy | Malta |
| Unrestricted
Vegetarian Vegan (limited) |
Unrestricted only | Unrestricted
Vegetarian Vegan |
While we strive to accommodate our participants to the best of our ability, please note that the vegan option is not available in all venues and countries, especially in Italy.
Accommodating dietary preferences and restrictions such as halal, kosher, gluten-free, or lactose-free are challenging due to the local culture and gastronomy (Italy, Poland, Malta). We understand that these dietary needs are important, and we apologise for the difficulty in providing suitable options.
Our current setup involves serving a group menu rather than offering à la carte options.
Therefore, if you have dietary restrictions related to meat, we recommend choosing the vegetarian option. If you have restrictions regarding dairy or milk, we suggest selecting the vegan option if available.
Note that meals for our programme are ordered in advance, and unfortunately, it may not be possible to make further changes to your dietary option.
Allergies will be strictly taken into consideration.
We kindly ask you to inform us about your allergies in advance, so we can better prepare and offer appropriate alternatives. While we may not be able to provide an entirely separate menu, we will strive to include options that are as inclusive as possible for your needs.
Our current setup involves serving a group menu rather than offering à la carte options.
Note that meals for our program are ordered in advance, and unfortunately, it may not be possible to make further changes to your dietary option.
It is absolutely forbidden to drink alcohol, smoke, and use any kind of substance on programmes involving underage participants. In accordance with European law, Angloville has a strict alcohol and substance abuse policy. As you will be interacting with minors on our Junior, Kids, and Family programmes, alcohol and drugs are strictly prohibited. Angloville will strictly apply the Youth Protection Code of Conduct and expel any offenders from the programme at their own cost.
On Adult programmes, alcoholic drinks are tolerated with moderated consumption. Some participants might have a glass of wine or beer after dinner. Please make sure that drinking alcohol does not affect your commitment to the programme and your behaviour.

The aim of the Angloville programme is to create an environment where all participants, both local and international, feel that they are living in the same English immersive village and are part of a small Angloville society.
For this reason, our venues are located in the countryside, typically between 1 to 3 hours away from the departure city, far from any distractions. These venues are comfortable 3-star hotels, traditional cottages, mansions, former palaces, or very modern facilities, also featuring educational farms or family-run venues like agriturismo in Italy.
We selected our favorite hotels, situated on the top of a mountain, in a forest, or on the bank of a lake.
We aim for you to experience the authentic heart of the host country, enjoy beautiful landscapes, and engage in cultural exchange with peers and locals.
