We love to meet interesting people during our holidays, and - we love the sea!

Read More...Very nice and spacious home. We loved it. Has everything you need. Nice garden and very close to public transport (bus to train station stops 50m from home and runs every 15 minutes until 20:00 in weekdays). Shops are close by. Good operating base to explore Switzerland - we much preferred to take the train. Strongly recommended for other members of Homelink.

Read More... Liebe Barbara und lieber Reto, wir hatten sehr schöne Tage in eurem schicken Haus, in welchem wir uns rundum wohl gefühlt haben. Besonders gefiel uns der große Wohnraum mit freiem Blick in den wunderschönen Naturgarten. Er wird uns immer in Erinnerung bleiben. Wir fanden es auch toll, dass wir uns persönlich treffen konnten und ein direkter Austausch möglich war. Wil ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge aller Art. So konnten wir den Bodensee von der Schweizer Seite kennenlernen. Die Ausflüge ins Appenzeller Land, ins Alpsteingebirge, zum Seealpsee sind beeindruckend und von eurem Haus gut zu erreichen. Was für eine wunderschöne Natur! Darüber hinaus sind Wil und St. Gallen äußert sehenswerte Städte. Wir haben euch als großzügige und rücksichtsvolle Tauschpartner erlebt. Vielen Dank für eure Gastfreundschaft und eure Geschenke! Herzliche Grüße Elisabeth und Dieter
