“The chalet was an excellent size and very warm and welcoming. It was situated in an area that was a little isolated from Ellmau, walkable into town if you are fit, but quite strenuous and hilly. A car is essential, preferably a four wheel drive. The hosts were very helpful and approachable but did charge us extra for the eight guests we had in our party, even though it is advertised on LHS as sleeping 10. Overall though we had a fabulous time in the most picturesque area imaginable. I even managed a little skiing, which for a first timer aged 65, I was delighted with. Ellmau is a lovely town and there are several other towns within driving distance that were also lovely. Salzburg is about 90 minutes drive and again, well worth a visit. The drive from Munich airport is also pretty straightforwards. A 9/10 experience apart from the extra cost. Would I go to the area again. Absolutely YES! Delightful”

Dr.Werner and Renate's reviews
As a host (3)“Werner and Renates home is in a wonderful location in the Austrian Alps! We loved our few days there - the house is perfect and the view from the home is spectacular. We highly recommend this swap. ”
“The house was an old home they tried to update, but not very professionally done. We used the three bedrooms upstairs because the downstairs bedrooms and washing machine area had a strong odor, that could've been from the recent conversion the owner said, to the oil heating system. He assured us it was safe. Overall, the home did not feel very homey, but we tried to make the best of it. The views outside the kitchen and dining room windows was phenomenal seeing the majestic mountains. The owner was very cordial and kind in our communications. HOST'S RESPONSE: ****************************************************************************************************** Thanks for your info. We have been and are member of the "Home-for-Exchange" platform for many years and have received around 15 recommendations. Elaine came with 5 instead of expected 3 people, therefore our girl has prepared for the expected number of people (2 double bed rooms + 1 single bed room on the ground floor) and not the rooms downstairs in the souterrain. In the souterrain is amongst another bathroom with shower and washing machine also the heating system with an a separate room for the oil tank. The oilfired installation had been exchanged 2 days before they arrived. The house is a holidays house (used by us mainly in winter), 40 years old in an expensive area and refurbished, of course it is not a five star hotel. They paid for 4 nights and 5 people only 400 points. They have been a pain in the neck by sending every second day a mail before they arrived with the most ridiculous questions, travelled by bus from Kitzbuehel to our house because they were not prepared to pay 20 Euro for a taxi. We have been very friendly to them, but including the costs for our girl etc., spending money on oil to heat the water etc. it was a loss for us. My impression was that they wanted a lot for nothing, this is not the way it works. ”
