Learning Italian in Italy?

Hi everyone! I am new to learning and I’m about 2 months in. But I love to travel and I’m thinking of planning a trip to Italy soon, does anyone have any recommendations on areas or programmes to go with? I prefer less structure as I find my own learning methods suitable. But has anyone done a house stay or used worldpackers and had any experience blending with natives and finding accepting and encouraging hosts? I’d also like to ask what level you think is suitable for something like this, as my personal impression is that a1-a2 basic conversational could be adapted well in a setting like this
Thankyou !!
