After more than 10 exchanges, we are still excited to discover new regions. We find the house-exchange concept really interesting and like to get to know new people in this manner.
We are in our 50ies, Bilal is an engineer and Lise a language teacher.
Our 4 children (2 of them are already adult and the 2 others are 13 and 16) travel with us.

Your house is very comfy and during the stay we feel like home. We ( mostly the kids ) appreciate the roman past of your city and all the activities about in the neigbourhood. You are very well situated to visit Switzerland. When we come back home we found it like we let it to you, thank you very much.

The tips from the two of them were great and the surroundings were very beautiful. We have almost never covered more than 30 km and have experienced beautiful towns and great nature within this radius. We were particularly impressed by the beaver that we met 1 kilometer from the house in the Aare. Thank you both for inviting us - it was really worth it. Gerd & Anke from Bremen

Read More...We have spent very good holidays in the house of Bilal and Lise. The house is great, and ideal with children. Windisch is well located to visit Switzerland, many things under 1 hour's drive. Moreover there is river just 10 minutes on foot. Switzerland is a very beautiful country with many things to visit. We are very happy to have swapped our home with Bilal, Lise and their children. Our neighbours are very pleased to meet you, and you will be welcome if you comeback in Nozay! So thank you a lot!

Read More...It was great to stay in the house of the Gerhard-family. The home contact with the family was warm and good. Their home and garden gives more than enough space. We found their home (and ours by our return) very clean. In the neigbourhood of Windisch is a lot to do (culture, history, activities, swimming (in the river), walking, cycling). We found some very nice places near Windisch, like Baden and Brugg. And we did a couple of nice walks. Bigger cities (like Zurich and Luzern,) are reachable by car, and these cities are very impressive. Also the mountains can be reached in around one hour. We 'climbed' the Rigi near Luzern. It was the best day during our holiday. We had a great excange with the family Gerhard in Windisch! Highly recommended!

Read More...Dear family Gerhard, this exchange was a very special experiance- finding close friends. We enjoyed your comfortable nice house and garden. Our children loved to play with all the toys and be creative with multiple materials you provided. The area around windisch is beautiful. We loved to go hiking in the nature and enjoyed walking by all this beautiful old little houses and gardens. Swimming in the turkious water of the river Rheuss was a splended experiance, which we will never forget. Also visiting various historical places made our holiday a great time. Altogether is to say that one visit is simply to short to use the variety of possibilities your area provides. And thanks for taking care of our place so diligently. All the best for you all!

We enjoyed the very nice evening with your warm and friendly family and found our house back in a perfect condition. Highly recommended!

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Because Switzerland is small, many attractive sites are reachable in a relatively short time by car or by train. For example, the main cities: Zurich (30 minutes), Luzern (1h), Basel (1h), Bern (1h).
Mountains: Pilatus (2132m) and Rigi (1800m) reachable in 1 hour.
