We are a family of four - or five if you count our oldest daughter, who lives by herself. In our spare time we link hiking and good food. We like holidays with combination of larger cities (culture and good food) and hiking in nature. We are open towards locations, but prefer it to be in driving distance from Denmark.

We just felt being at home and we knew immediately that we want to do more home exchanges; hoping that other places will be as nice as yours. We explored your home town and the Funen island but we also visited Aarhus or Legoland. It's all easily to reach from your place. We will certainly come back to Denmark one day! Many thanks again and all the best!!

Read More...We had a wonderful holiday in Odense, Denmark. The house was very spacious, comfortable and clean. It is very well located in Odense, next to a park and quiet. Ideal place to tour around Funen and all its beautiful islands. Specially recommended for hiking and cycling, as there are lots of trails all over the island. The family Fagerberg is extremely nice and helpful and we have felt very much at home and wellcome.

Read More...Being able to spend our holiday time in this beautifully renovated house with a huge garden was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed the environment and everything the area has to offer especially for families (and this is far too much for a single stay!) but also loved to be just in the house with its pianos, the huge living room and the very well equipped kitchen. Odense is a very picturesque town. Within one hour driving distance you reach the most wonderful sandy beaches on Funen itself or the nearby islands. The contact to Christina and her family was always easy and very friendly and very helpful indeed as we received useful tips throughout our stay. We'd love to come back one day.

Villa with 180 m2 plus basement in one of the best areas of Odense. The house is a funkis villa from 1936 which we have owned since the summer of 2013.

In the garden is a small pond, and the garden borders a small forest (with an ice cream parlor).
The house is located near a large recreational park and paths, some along the city stream. The distance to the city center is 2.5 km.
Odense is the birth city of the famous fairytale writer HC Andersen, and has a rich cultural life as well as many good restaurants.
