“We were in Wien some months ago, today I still remembering this visit like an amazing experience, and I'm sure it will be in this way for long long time. We were very fortunate for this opportunity. Thanks a lot.”

We invite you to a wonderful, cozy and spacious house from 1989, mainly built with organic materials with lots of wood and glass and polished terra cotta floors. We have four bedrooms, one with a king size bed, two with queen size beds and onewith a single bed. There are two living rooms, one with a sofa bed and an additional guest room. There are three bathrooms, one with a jacuzzi, and a sauna. A balcony and a terrace overlook our garden with old trees and a tiny little pond, that is shallow, but not fenced. There is one indoor open fireplace and one outdoor that we use for barbecue. We love music and have a piano, violins of all sizes, two violoncelli and a guitar, just in case you want to practice. There is high speed internet, a HD wide screen TV set with satellite reciever and a WII and a playstation 3. You are welcome to use our car (Range Rover Evoque).

Elisabeth's reviews
As a host (5)“We spent eight wonderful days in Elisabeth and Manfred's apartment in the center of Vienna. Everything was perfect: the location of the apartment (no need to take the tramway, most of interesting are within walking distance), it was quiet, comfortable with anything we could need. Elisabeth even put some toys and pencils in the apartment for our children! And she helped us to organize our stay, especially for an evening at the opera (thanks a lot, Elisabeth!!!) She is so nice! Manfred and their children too! And they took care of our apartment. I warmly recommend!!!”
“Nous avons passé 15 jours de vacances à MODLING dans la splendide et maison d'Elisabeth et Manfred durant l'été 2012. Nous conseillons vivement cette adresse car vous y trouverez tous les avantages qu'un échange de maison peut offrir :une maison spacieuse et très bien équipée, située tout près de Vienne (ce qui évite l'usage de la voiture) et à proximité de superbes sites à visiter. Elisabeth nous avait donné plein d'indications sur les sites à découvrir dans les environs et nous n'avons pas vu passer ces vacances. Nous avons eu la chance de passer deux jours avec nos hôtes et nos familles ont ainsi pu se rencontrer et échanger:nous avons reçu un accueil extraordinaire et nous souhaitons que d'autres puissent découvrir la famille d'Elisabeth et Manfred.”
“Elisabeth and Manfred and their wonderful children welcomed us with open arms as family to Austria! Their home was the perfect central venue to experience the rich culture, art, music, and history of one of the most incredible cities in the world. They pointed us in the right directions and after two wonderful weeks we're enthusiastically convinced we must return to Vienna to experience the things we missed. They were exceptional guests at our home in North Carolina and made special efforts to understand and appreciate our unique regional culture and environment. If you are interested in getting to know Vienna and a great family, we strongly recommend exchanging homes with our new friends!”
“Our exchange experience in the summer of 2011 was wonderful in every respect. First, Elizabeth exchanged emails with Iryna as needed to ensure everything was well-planned and understood before the exchange occurred. Second, we stayed in the apartment in Vienna and there is no conceivably better location than the Hofburg palace. The apartment itself was very well appointed and spacious too. Third, our host family returned before we departed and could not have been more gracious and hospitable, showing us around the nearby wine country and inviting us to their home just before we returned to the US. This experience, our second so far, was as amazing as our first to Bordeaux, France. Thanks, Elizabeth and Manfred!!!”
More about us
-
We are a family of five: Manfred (62) is retired, Elisabeth (53) is a doctor. We have two boys, 21 and 15 years old and a girl age 18. Our house would be perfect for any family with kids, since there is every kind of toys you can imagine, bicylces, skateboards, inline skates... (In case of toddlers you should be aware of the pond.) We enjoy travelling and did a lot very successful house exchanges and just loved it. Our two cats prefer to stay at home and would be grateful for feed (neighbors will take care of them if you want them to) There is lots to see and do for kids and adults in and around Vienna - welcome!

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Modling is a suburb of Vienna and one of the finest living areas. It takes 20-30 min to down town Vienna either by car or by excellent public transport. Vienna offers everything you can expect from a former imperial capital: Schonbrunn castle, Vienna opera house, museums of almost every kind, classical and modern concerts, arts and history, fine dining, night life. In addition, Modling offers lots of nature. Our house is located in 5 min. walking distance to the natural preserve Vienna Woods, ideal for jogging, hiking or mountain biking. Another 5 min walk will take you to the center of Modling, where you will find all sorts of shops and restaurants. Around the corner there is a recreational area with outdoor and indoor pools, spa and beachvolley. It's a half hour drive to Neusiedlersee, one of Europe's biggest lakes, ideal for sailing and wind surfing and approx. one hour to the "real alps" and the nearest ski slopes. And don't forget our wonderful wine areas!
