  • Description

    Description

    I live with my family of five in the house of a leased farm on Grabserberg. Step by step, we are transforming the intensely used grassland around the house into a productive and diverse landscape. We would like to be able to feel comfortable here with our pets and microorganisms and be able to take care of yourself .

    There are some more houses situated around us, but we live far from town. We like it this way.

    We have a guest room and rent out a small guest apartment under our roof.

    The aim is to carry out a project with our children and guests that is supervised all year round and can be supported and shared by our guests.

    But there is also a lot to do in the house like cleaning, cooking and washing clothes.

    The three kids speak german and italian, in school they learn french and english.

    would you like to get to know us and support us in our daily work?
    Then get in contact and stay with us!

    We like to offer stays of two weeks and then we decide together whether a longer stay is possible.

    This host offers a language exchange
    Our children grew up speaking German and Italian. It would be nice if we could speak Italian from time to time. In the meantime, however, they have also learned French and English and some practice would do us all good. We would be happy to teach you German or Swiss German...
