The Schwab's home and garden was very charming and the village of Bönnigheim was lovely. Their house is very spacious and we had plenty of room for our family of six. We were awakened each morning by the lovely chiming of church bells in the village. Their son's were very helpful in meeting us at the train station when we arrived and answering any questions we had. We enjoyed the short walk to the local bakery for croissants, pastries and cappuccino in the mornings and sitting and relaxing in the garden at night. The train station in Kirchheim am Neckar was only 10 minutes away and convenient for day trips to Stuttgart and Munich. We also drove easily to Heidelberg and the Black Forest. We look forward to visiting Bönnigheim and Germany again some day and were excited to meet our new friends in the Atlanta airport when we returned to the US!

Dear friends, it was such a beautiful holiday for us, your region is very interesting and we loved to visit castles and clausters, as well as small villages and bigger towns. Your village and the countryside near your house are so pleasant, your home is so cozy and we were happy to discover how BIG it is (our group was quite large - two families - and it was a nice surprise finding all that room for everyone!) Your garden is beautiful and calm, and your figs delicious! We just want to thank you: even though we are used to swaps it doesn't occur so often to feel so confortable in someone else's house (our teenage sons can confirm that!). Thanks also to your sons who moved to the small apartment to let us "occupy" all the house. Our house is always open for you and your sons whenever you want to make a trip to Italy! We warmly recommend you both as guests and hosts to every homelinker who wants to take a trip to Germany!
