The house was a great home away from home
Kandi, lynda, Sis and I had a very enjoyable vacation in Switzerland and this house was perfect for our home away from home. We used it as home base as we Day tripped all over Switzerland with visits into France and Germany. It's spacious, very clean, comfortable and quiet. Bonnie goss

A quiet place to enjoy nature in northern Switzerland
This spacious apartment was exactly what we were looking for. Located in a small village on the Rhine, it was a convenient location to cycle along the Rhine and to enjoy the countryside, both on the Swiss and German sides of the river. The hosts, Monica and Behrouz were helpful in telling us about the area and making recommendations for food in nearby Bad Zurzach. Rekingen is easy to reach from Zurich by train if one does not rent a car.
Die Wohnung ist sehr geräumig, gemütlich (Cheminee) und gut ausgestattet, wir haben nichts vermisst. Es gibt sogar Fondue- und Raclettegeschirr. Die drei Schlafzimmer waren für uns drei Frauen mit Hund ideal. In der Umgebung gibt es diverse schöne Möglichkeiten zum Spazieren gehen. Wir haben den persönlichen Kontakt zu Monica und ihrer Familie sehr geschätzt. Unsere Anliegen wurden sofort aufgenommen und Anstrengungen zur schnellen Behebung unternommen (Kaffeemaschine, Wasserhahn, Abfallentsorgung). Danke vielmal auch für Schöggeli, Wein, Nüssli, Hundeguetsli... :-). Danke auch, dass wir uns bei den Holzscheiten bedienen durften. Alles Gute und liebe Grüsse

Location optimale
Des hôtes accueillants, disponibles et discrets.
Un appartement plein de charme, au calme, parfaitement équipé et entretenu. Une terrasse partiellement couverte qui nous a permis de prendre nos repas à l’extérieur malgré un temps maussade. La gare à proximité immédiate permet de découvrir Schaffhouse, Zürich , Winterthur , Aarau etc… Et c’est aussi un lieu idéal pour flâner le long du Rhin.
Un excellent souvenir.

Mooie, ruime woning
Het appartement is zeer compleet ingericht, ruime kamers en vriendelijke gastvrouw.
In het dorp is helemaal niets te doen, er is zelfs geen bakker. Wel denderen er ‘s ochtends vanaf 5.00 uur allemaal vrachtwagens en tractors onder het slaapkamerraam door.
Voor de meeste uitstapjes heb je de auto nodig.
Zwembad Regibad in Bad Zurzach is een aanrader!

Wirklich empfehlenswert
Die Wohnung ist gemütlich, sehr geräumig und wirklich gut ausgestattet. Sie hat alles, was man für einen erholsamen Urlaub braucht und noch ein bisschen mehr, z.B. einen gut sortierten Bücherschrank in mehreren Sprachen und eine richtig gemütliche Wohnküche mit Terasse. Die Vermieter sind wirklich nett und sehr hilfsbereit. Es gibt in der Nähe auch ein sehr schönes Schwimmbad, das nicht zu überlaufen ist. Ich würde jederzeit wieder hinfahren.

Altamente recomendable. Una casa muy cómoda, limpia, amplia y bien equipada.
Una casa muy cómoda. Limpia, amplia y bien equipada. Ideal para 6 personas.La cocina llena de detalles: infusiones, café, especias, pastillas para el lavavajillas...
A 10 minutos en coche de un supermercado alemán, mucho más barato que los suizos.
El pueblo está muy bien situado para conocer la parte central y norte de Suiza: Zurich, Berna, Lucerna, Basilea, Interlaken...En una zona muy tranquila, al lado del Rhin.
La dueña es muy amable y dispuesta a
informarte sobre lugares y zonas interesantes.
Altamente recomendable.
