Denis Hardi
I had a great experience with Irelora. The support was friendly, clear and very helpful from the beginning. I felt much more confident about the process and always knew what the next step was. I would definitely recommend Irelora to anyone looking for guidance and support in Ireland.
Minha primeira experiência de intercâmbio foi em Agosto de 2024, Dublin - Irlanda.
Vivi uma experiência maravilhosa que levarei para a vida toda, principalmente tratando a respeito do meu homestay em Bray. Loredana e sua família são pessoais maravilhosas, me senti acolhida em todo o período em que passei com eles, fazendo a experiência de estar distante de meus familiares, mais fácil. Indico e voltaria com toda certeza!

Em agosto de 2024, vivi uma experiência inesquecível de quatro semanas em Dublin, na Irlanda. Tudo foi incrível, mas o verdadeiro destaque foi o meu homestay em Bray. Fiquei em uma casa linda perto da praia, com uma família maravilhosa e acolhedora. A Loredana cuida dos alunos com um carinho de mãe e, para completar a surpresa, é uma cozinheira de mão cheia: a comida era sempre deliciosa e saudável. Amei cada momento, voltaria com certeza e recomendo de olhos fechados!

Staying with Loredana and Denis was one of the best decisions we made when we arrived in Ireland. From the very first day, we were welcomed with kindness, care, and attention.
The house is very comfortable, well-organized, and welcoming, which made us feel at home quickly. They also helped us a lot with advice about transport, places to visit, and important guidance about exchange life and living in Dublin.
We came as a couple and had a wonderful experience. They even supported us in finding accommodation, which made a big difference at the beginning of our journey here.
Until today, we still keep a very special friendship, and I am truly grateful for all the support and kindness we received.
I highly recommend them to any student coming to Ireland

Ficar com Loredana me ajudou muito quando cheguei à Irlanda.
Ela me ajudou a entender o transporte, os documentos e a vida diária em Dublin.
Eu a recomendo muito para outros estudantes.”
— Daniel Santana, Brasil, 2026
Since joining our host family network, Loredana has welcomed over 37 international students into her home, always creating a warm, friendly, and comfortable environment. She really goes the extra mile to help students feel at home and settle in with ease. Loredana is reliable, well organised, and a pleasure to work with. She communicates clearly and is always approachable and supportive, handling any situations calmly and efficiently. Feedback from students has been consistently very positive, Loredana is a valued member of our host family community, and we truly appreciate the care and dedication she brings to her role. I would happily recommend her and am confident she will continue to provide a wonderful experience for future students.

Meu marido e eu nos mudamos para a Irlanda em 2022 para realizar o tão sonhado intercâmbio de inglês. Logo que chegamos, conhecemos uma família ítalo-brasileira que nos acolheu e apoiou de forma genuína.
Trabalhei como minder da família por aproximadamente um ano, uma experiência muito enriquecedora. Além de contribuir para meu inglês, a convivência foi essencial para nossa adaptação à Irlanda. Recebemos apoio com o dia a dia, burocracias e, principalmente, na busca por moradia. A Loredana foi fundamental ao nos indicar como referência.
Construímos uma amizade baseada em confiança e respeito. Somos muito gratos por todo o acolhimento e pelo trabalho que realizam com novos estudantes.
Hello, everyone!
If you want to go to Ireland, Loredana is your best option. Lore is a wonderful person with an amazing family, you will find emotional support, Ireland life orientation, and, above all, a familiar and welcoming environment.
My name is Tizoc Villalobos Ruiz, I’m 44 years old, and I lived with Lore’s family for six weeks. I had such a great experience! Denny and Davide are so cool.
By the way, Lore is a great cook. Lore, I miss your béchamel sauce! 😄
Thank you for everything, Lore and family!
