Built in a typical Medellín architectural style, the exterior of the mansion offers views of the mountains and the city.
All rooms are private and have queen-or-king-sized beds and an ensuite bathroom.
Your day
The ANDERS LANGUAGES breakfast table is the cornerstone of any Spanish immersion experience, and this will be no different during this SPECIAL.
After breakfast, depending on the day of the week, you can enjoy formal classes or excursions to discover the treasures of Medellín and Antioquia, the 'departmento' or province the city belongs to.
Lunch is served at around 2 pm, and if we're on an excursion, we'll eat at a local restaurant.
After an afternoon nap, you will have more classes or hands-on activities with your Spanish instructors.
The day will end at around 7 p.m., but you are welcome to experience the exclusive dining scene in Medellín near the mansion.
