Read More...Alexandra and her family were wonderful homelinkers providing us with an abundance of information + recommendations to ensure our swap was the best it could possibly be. We enjoyed days paddleboarding on Lake Constance, visited the island of Mainau via ferry, explored Meersburg, Sipplingen and Bodman. We loved the therme spa in Uberlingen and went twice. On a wet day we climbed the 155 steps of the Mole tower in Friedrichshafen harbour. The baroque church in Birnau is a must visit, even just for the panoramic views at its entrance. The family home is really beautiful, modern and very comfortable. We used the BBQ, had meals in the garden and found all the home facilities to be great. Super house swap experience with incredibly friendly, helpful hosts.

Read More...This exchange was marked by serenity, first that of the shores of Lake Constance punctuated by the quiet comings and goings of ferries and the peaceful movement of sailboats, then that of Uhldingen-Mulhofen, a small seaside and rural resort where the bicycle is king, and that of the high-tech house of Alexandra and Rolland! A bright, spacious, modern residence, ideal for discovering this corner of paradise rich in its heritage as much as in its agriculture. Its vegetable garden rich in flavor and its aviary where quails and parakeets cohabit give an additional cachet to this house. In addition, Alexandra's organization was impeccable in every detail. Everything is so calm and so perfect on these lakesides that we are trying to find out what our German friends' recipe is! It was our third exchange in Germany and we come back each time enriched by our discoveries as much as by the quality of the relationships we had with our hosts. An exchange is not only the provision of real estate, it is above all the meeting, often more epistolary than physical, between people who have total confidence in each other... and that is already a lot in this crowded world. mistrust and anger!! With Alex and Rolland, the contact was constant throughout the exchange and I am sure that we will both keep the best memories of these few days shared...

The house is beautiful, modern, very well equiped (you'll find everything you need and even more!) and there is a nice garden with vegetables, fruits, swimming pool, trampoline and animals (quails and small rabbits). The location is very good as well, close to the lake (especially by bike it is perfect, you just need a few minutes) and with many good places to visit closeby (Mainau, Rheinfall, lake pools, lots of beautiful bike tracks...). And above all Alexandra is very kind and very helpful: she prepared everything for us to have a great time, many explanations and recommendations. It is the perfect home exchange!

Read More...A short bike trip to the lake, with adventure playground and everything you wish. Lunch in a „Fischimbiss“, eating tasty fresh fish for a bargain. A lot of swimming and in the evening go to the public bath, eating freshly grilled food. This is what a relaxed vacation day may look like at family Gering. We enjoyed the time, also because the area is prepared for tourism and offers something for everyone in the family. Highlight of our trip was the visit to the Affenberg with storks and feeding of the apes. The family home is beautiful and in a quiet neighborhood. The gorgeous garden offers vegetables and fruits. Many thanks for the tips and ideas, also on short notice depending on our situation. We would have loved to do more but the time went out quickly. All our wishes and greetings from the Starnberger See!

The children were thrilled by the collection of toys and books. We all enjoyed cycling around, the cylce paths were just perfect. Uhldingen is a great starting point for excursions, the lakeside and a lot of attractions can be reached within a couple of minutes. We loved the Lake Constance region: the beautiful landscapes, much different from Northern Germany; the beaches and swimming in the lake; the culinary highlights (the recommended restaurants were excellent). Many thanks for these great holidays!!!

Euer Garten und die Terrasse sind auch wunderbar. Wir hatten viel Spaß bei euch und haben viele nette Ausflüge rund um den Bodensee unternommen. Unseren Kindern hat vor allem der Affenberg Salem und das Ravensburger Spieleland gefallen. Die Pfahlbauten und die Insel Mainau sind auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Wir wünschen noch viele spannende und interesante Tauschurlaube und alles Gute! Herzliche Grüße Fam. Scharner

Description de notre maison d'échange
We are both highschool teachers and can only swap during german school holidays :-) BUT severeal times during the school year.
We live in a new 160 m2 eco-friendly 2 floor architect house with underfloor heating supported by solar collectors and a big green garden in walking distance to the biggest lake in Germany (20min by foot, 5min by bike) and the 3rd biggest in central Europe .
Visit three countries during your stay: Germany, Switzerland and Austria ... they all surround the lake. You can even go on a bicycle tour around the lake - it takes you one day, if you are very athletic ;-) ... if not, you will enjoy our E-bike! Visit the beautiful city Konstanz is only 20min by ferry or drive by car in 1h to Bregenz in Austria with it's amazing theater festival on the water in summer or to the stunning Rhein Falls in Switzerland. Even Bavaria with the Casle Neuschwanstein and Munich is only 2 hours away.
Here a listing of our rooms:
GROUND FLOOR:
- a very big living room with open kitchen and dining room and cozy fireplace (also supports the underfloor heating)
- guest toilet
- a laundry room with a washing machine, a dryer, sink and a baby change unit
- a storeroom under the stairs with wood for the fireplace etc.
- study & guest room with a big and comfortable sofa bed and our water turtel :-)
FIRST FLOOR:
- parent bedroom with a huge water bed, rocking chair, television,piano and dressing room
- 2 kids rooms: Leonards room with a double bed (fits 2 adult people) and Carinas room with a sofa bed and a cute house bed
- 2 bathrooms!! the big privat PARENT bathroom which is only accessible from the parents bedroom. It has a infrared sauna, a large family shower, a whirlpool bath, a wide sink, a toilet and a bidet. The KIDS bathroom is accesible via the hall and has a shower, toilet and sink.
We have a big garage with 3 adult bikes , one of them is an E-bike with a bike trailer that fits two kids, two kid bikes, a cat car, surfboard etc.
There is a good working ventilation system in the whole house.
Every room and especially the living/dining/kitchen room has huge windows and great views into the green garden - no house opposit of us - just apple trees as long as your eyes reach and the river Aach! Left hand side is a very nice, shady and big children playground.
In our garden we have a large round pool during summer (366x84cm), a trompoline (3m), swings, a huge sandpit with a beach chair, sand toys, a huge terrace with garden chairs + table, a hammock, a sun island, grapevine arbor, ...

Description de notre quartier et ses alentours
Our neighborhood is very quite and peaceful :-) Cute family houses surroundet by lots of green. There is no house in front of us (and never will be) - we live opposit of a protected nature reserve area with loads of apple trees and the stream Aach, that leeds into the Lake Constace - therefore you have a beautiful view outside our big panorama windows. There is a nice & shady playground on the left hand side and a nice walking path alongside the stream. You can follow the stream all the way down to the lake - a beautiful walk.
Everything you need for daily life and houshold is in walking distance - a supermarket, a pharmacie, doctors, bakery, butcher, etc.

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer
We live, where other people go on holidays :-) Our region, our lake and our wine is well known in Germany and sorrounding countries. We love to be on the lake in summer: swimming, stand up paadling, or on our motorboat (which you might be able to use, if you have a licence and if you get here before we leave so we can give you advice on how to use ist). All our guests so far loved to cycle here. If you prefer hiking, there are the Alps not far from here. You can make excursions and daytrips also to Switzerland and Austria - all in driving distance. I attached some of the most fabulous tourist attractions with their URL for you.

It is important to us that the house is kept clean and tidy. We love our home, and we will take care of your home with great care and respect.
Please also take good care of our quails + one water turtle and plants in and outside the house during your stay.
