I had an amazing time in Bellersdorf, Dani is in the most beautiful place and has the loveliest horses (and dog). The whole family was lovely and we were definitely well fed at the family's gasthaus. Dani also took us out on some little trips to surrounding areas which were super interesting. I feel very lucky to have been able to stay here and would definitely recommend to everyone!

My experience with Dani was wonderful. She is really funny and made me feel welcome from the first moment. The food at the Gasthaus was fantastic and everyone was so nice! Dani taught me about the history of Bellesdorf and we had beautiful rides in the forest. The work wasn't too hard. I'll miss everything about it, hope I can come back in the future!

Dani has been a lovely host and have been welcomed as family and was fed like one. The work has been as expected. The trips to the surrounding towns for sightseeing has been fun and going for rides in the nearby forest have been wonderful. If you like horses or want to experience village life, I do recommend.

I had an incredible experience here. From day one, Daniela welcomed me as part of the family, just like everyone else. Even without prior experience with horses, she patiently taught me everything. The horses are well trained and beautiful, making the work even more special. We also had little trips where Daniela shared Bellersdorf's history. The house is comfortable, with all amenities and great food daily. I highly recommend it, it truly feels like a second home. I'm very grateful for this experience and will definitely return in the future!
