Hi Sandy,
Yes, both Angloville and Diverbo are alternatives to Vaughan Town. I’ve added a section to the end of this post with information and links to both places. The nice thing about Angloville is that they do have programs in some other European countries too (though from what I gather, the accommodation is almost always shared, and wine is not provided). 😉

Oh yes! It’s a great program and tons of fun. I did it last year (2017) and would do it again anytime I can manage it. Very professional, organized and communicative. But probably best to try to sign up before the summer because they fill the spaces by now for the most part.
For anyone wanting to go to Valdelavilla, it is no longer one of the sites they use, but all the others are wonderful. The accommodations are excellent and you never go hungry.

I have heard there’s another program like VaughanTown called Angloville which is in places like Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Malta. I haven’t been there but a friend just finished and if anyone wants to know about her experience let me know and I will get in touch with her about it. I think she liked it and she loved Budapest.

Hi Kathy,
Yep – it’s legit! I think the sheer number of commenters here who have also done the VaughanTown program is testament to that. 🙂

Sandy,
I think this is a pretty unique program. I’ve not found anything like it elsewhere in the world.

Do you know of other things similar to this anywhere else?

Hi Sandy,
Yes, I think they’ve since closed down the Valdelavilla location. But they’ve also opened up a number of other locations around Spain. I’m not familiar with any of them, but I suspect they’re all great! I hope you try it out; it’s a lot of fun. 🙂
