I spent three beautiful weeks in this villa and in its surroundings!
The guesthouse of Christel and Alberto is an amazing place to stay for guests, hosts are very responsible and have high standards about their work (and about your work too, of course). It makes you proud in the end of the shift because what you do is actually important. They… read more

This August I spent 2 weeks helping Christel and Alberto with the guesthouse. First of all, the area of the Black Forest is amazing! I had plenty of time to explore and enjoy all the nature around. Even though the guesthouse itself is in a small village, the train station is just outside the front door. That makes it super easy to visit other… read more

The b+b from Christel and Alberto is like a meetingpoint for people all over the world. I met guests from India, Malaysia, Spain, Australia…. and had interesting talks with them when I served breakfast. I helped also with cleaning the rooms and the house. When Christel and Alberto were absent for days I ran the b+b independently. Then you get… read more

Massimo was very good and helped us a lot in the garden with the plants. That is a work he is really into. Thanks for that Max!
As we had reparations to do he did paint around in the house. That is not really his work, but he tried to do the best.
Have a good time Max and find a good way on in your life.

Lia is a wonderful and reliable person and she liked her work with us in the B&B. She helped to prepare breakfast in the morning, later making the rooms and care for the garden. As we had a lot of spanish people she helped us to translate and communicate. I highly recommend here and she is always welcome to our house. All the best christel
