Description
we are a family of 3 in vienna, austria and live in a nice old house w garden, animals, vegetables and fruit trees, only 15 minutes by subway from the center of vienna. the vienna woods start a few blocks up the hill, with endless space for hiking, bike trails and getting lost. if you like gardening and maintenance work and would like to look after our young, very shy dog zazee, plus want to explore the wonderful life of vienna, you are most welcome to stay with us.
in the springtime we concentrate on planting and weeding, in the summer and fall we are busy harvesting, canning and making pear and grape juice and watering the garden. and zazee wants to go to the near forest every day.
we have some very nice neighbours. you can stay in your own room and all your food is on us. internet, netflix, beamer - all here. you can speak english or german with us. we would like to learn spanish and french.
BUT: we can only accept travellers who stay at least 3-4 weeks because of our dog - it takes time to earn her trust. please only write if you plan to stay long term.
as we get a lot of requests, please understand that i can not answer all of them, i am very sorry.
