I had a wonderful time with Daniela and Idi's family. Idi is such a sweet girl—even though we couldn't communicate with words, we still managed to understand each other and had a great time playing together. Daniela prepared delicious snacks and lunches for us, which I really appreciated. I took every opportunity to explore the town, and the accommodations were more than I expected—it felt like having my own apartment! The kitchen was well-stocked with food for me to use, and the living room was perfect for relaxing while enjoying the beautiful view of the town. Daniela was an excellent host.

I was very happy for having the opportunity of being in this very nice family .I felt very confortable from the very beginning of the experience for the way they made me feel as another member of the group.All the tasks we did together were very interesting and gave the chance to learn from each other and know each other better.They were very generous with their time and space : we shared time working but also time for fun ; they had provided all what I needed in a very nice play in the house to stay only for myself.I can only be very thankful for the quality time we had together!

I Love the Dani's family. So beautiful experience in all dimensions. The place is amazing, very close to the black forest, the family is so amazingly open hearted people, with understanding, love and caring. Iam so glad to stay with them. The small apartment where I stay is so nice and cozy, the job is so flexible and the facilities are great. Iam so happy to stay here and I will come back again in the future. I surely recommend and support the family. It's a nice experience for every worldpacker..

My stay in the family was really great. Everyone in the family is really welcoming and make you feel at home. The tasks are simple and fun and I had a wonderful time playing with Ida every day. I am also really grateful on how they helped and adviced me about the places I could visit during my days off. Overall, it's a really good place to volunteer:)

This family is wonderful. Get ready for lots of delicious home cooked meals. The work is always reasonable and not too difficult. The living quarters are lovely, and the family dog is so cute! They are all very kind and generous, willing to help you get somewhere if you want to take a short trip, and happy to lend you a bike if you want to explore the local area. If you would rather have your meals alone, the apartment is always stocked with plenty to eat. My stay was extraordinary and I would 100% recommend this assignment, especially if you enjoy working in the garden.
