The Dagmar's and Wolgang's house was cozy, warm hearted and full of beautiful details. The house was big and very clean, 6 big bedrooms! The family have lovely cat Indigo, needs only to give food and pet. Dagmar & family took good care of our home. You could see Lake Constance and mountains from the terrace and the mountain Pfänder for hiking is right next to the house. Lochau is near to everything. It was easy to visit in 4 countries and different sights.
Wir haben 2 sehr schöne, gemütliche Weihnachtswochen in Helis und Anttis Haus verbracht. Das Haus ist schön, es bietet ausreichend Platz und ist sehr gut gelegen! Wir haben tolle Ausflüge gemacht, das Auto ist wunderbar zu fahren. Heli und Antti sind liebenswert und hilfsbereit, die Kommunikation hat allerbestens geklappt. Ihre Tips waren sehr hilfreich!! Unser Haus wurde in einem sehr ordentlichen Zustand hinterlassen, auf unseren Kater haben sie bestens aufgepasst! Ich kann sie sehr als Tauschpartner empfehlen, es ist eine große Freude, in ihrem Haus gewohnt haben zu dürfen.
Hyvinkää ist ein grossartiger Ort, um als Familie Ferien zu machen. Das Haus ist klein und fein, mit einem hübschen Garten. Unweit eines Waldes gelegen und nur Schritte von einem tollen Sportplatz gelegen. Das Quartier ist reich an Familien. Die Familie verfügt über einen zauberhaften Schrebergarten, etwa 8 Kilometer vom Haus entfernt. Wir durften Familie Heroja als entspannte, gastfreundliche und unkomplizierte Personen kennenlernen. Danke vielmals für den schönen Austausch!
A huge house with mountain view in a beautiful area. Close to marvellous attractions like mountains, lakes, beautiful towns etc.
