Read More...Thank you for the loan of your very large, well-equipped, beautiful,stylish, comfortable, spacious, exceedingly well-appointed and welcoming home and garden. We have had a wonderful time in glorious Baden-Wuerttemberg and your home has been the perfect haven to depart from and return to after our daily forays into this most delightful area of Germany. (Indeed, it was difficult to pull ourselves away from it, but we were keen to explore!) Obviously, your huge private swimming pool has been the “icing in the cake” and sheer luxury after a hot sunny day sightseeing! Very luxurious swimming in the sunshine and atmospheric by the pool lights at night. (Also the sauna is very impressive indeed, it is ad we didn't have time to try it.) Having left the car at Hull Docks, we have taken full advantage of the wonderful German train service (and the Regio card you kindly left us) and have visited:Freiburg (several times); Basil; Lakes Titisee and Schluchsee; Strasbourg; Breisach; Bad Krozingham; Denzlingham; Colmar; Gengenbach, Freudenstadt; Emmendingen centre several times (with its glorious markets) and the magical forest behind your house of course. The location, with fabulous views, is ideal. Very quiet, far from the madding crowd for sleeping and relaxing but only a train ride away from all manner of cultural opportunities. The whole area is enchanting! It is so abundant, well-tended, packed with history and interest with delights at every turn. The weather was amazing - sunshine from morn 'til night with only two days of cloud/rain. We have met only extremely friendly people. It is a testimony to the friendliness of the people, that after such a short time we felt very much at home there. Your cats are adorable and are obviously bi-lingual (even I, with minimum German, could communicate with them)! We asked them if they fancy a new home in the UK, but they are too wise and have opted to stay. Thank you once again for a magical stay (and for your preparation for our arrival, treats left etc. not forgetting Robin for his input into homefile.) and for caring for our home so magnificently. You are first-rate exchange partners!

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Our home lies on a hill, surrounded by trees, and bird song. After 3 minutes walking we are in the black forest and within 10 minutes in the centre of Emmendingen a small but lively market town. Our guests especially enjoy the private grounds, a private 12m pool and wood fire sauna. After the sauna we tend to relax in the conservatory, looking out over the forest.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
Apart from the joys of the black forest offering Nature and sport, we are a short drive from Europa park, the lively picturesque student town Freiburg. France and Switzerland are a 1 hour drive away. The many attractions in Basel and Strassbourg are perfect for a daytrip. There are several concert houses as well as museums for all tastes. There are several Thermal baths close by, including Freiburg, and the famous baths at Baden Baden and Badenweiler as well as several open air pools. The area is well known for good food, with many local markets suppling top restaurants with top quality fresh local products. .

Lo qué nos gusta y lo qué no... Estas son nuestras preferencias y normas domésticas.
We prefer a peaceful location, near water with possible water activities. Yan and Robin are both fairly active and need to be able to move around. Walking, bike riding, sports centre are all good. We are tied to school holidays so only offered dates or weekends can be taken. Please note we have 2 cats, they are easy to care for and love to be stroked, you may even want to take them home with you.
