We had a great time in Schongau! The house have everything for a relaxing holiday with our kids. Andrea and Christian are very easygoing people en we feel direct very welcome in their home. Great surrounding, a lot to do. We can absolutely recommend this childfriendly house for a home exchange.
We had a great simmer in Alkmaar and enjoyed every minute of it. The house is cozy and comfortable and the location is just perfect. You can explore the city life as well as the beautiful nature by bike which is a lot of fun when you visit the Netherlands.
We hebben heerlijke weken gehad in Uhldingen-Mühlhofen! Het huis is erg prettig in een rustige buurt en Linda en haar familie hebben ons een warm welkom gegeven. Alle voorzieningen zijn aanwezig in het dorp. Echt een aanrader!
We kregen een warm welkom. Het huis was boven verwachting op een prachtige locatie: in de buurt van Dresden, maar heerlijk in het bos. We hadden een uitstekende vakantie.
