Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbourhood is very quiet, with a very nice view on the mountains and view on the lake. You can enjoy a sunny day on the lounge with view of the Pilatus. In a few steps you can go to the farm and buy fresh products, or go for a walk in the forest behind the house with a fantastic scenery of the Alps, maybe go for barbecue.
Lucerne is just next door, you can enjoy a stroll in the old city center, or visit a museum or also enjoy a lake cruise. In one hour by train you'll be in Zürich, Bern (Capital of Switzerland) or Basel. If you want a mediterranean feeling, go for a 2 hours driving in direction south toward Ticino (Locarno, Ascona, Lugano). If you prefer active nature holidays: no problem! In Spring, Summer and Autumn, you'll have many choices: the Rigi, the Pilatus, the Stanserhorn for the most known mountains, with many hikes possiblities. 20 Minutes drive away, and you'll be in the Eigenthal, at the foot of Pilatus, with hiking und barbecue possibilities.

Our Preferences
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
It's important to us, that we'll find the house in the same way of tidyness and cleanliness than you found it when you arrive.
We have a natural wooden floor in the whole house. Especially in the kitchen, we ask to take care of it, avoiding food/oily aliments to fall down.
You're welcome to use our basic food (paper, salt, flour, salt, pepper, oil, vinegar). Should you need something from our drawer, we expect you to replace it if empty.
We have two cats, Flocon and Lucy, who need some attention. In our natural pool with Koi, we have an automatic feeding machine, so no need to feed them.
