About our home

Our holidays:
27th July - 4th September 2011

Our maisonette is in our three-story house in a green and calm suburb of Mannheim. The maisonette is warm and sunny with a cozy kitchen, master bedroom, baby`s room, dining room and living room with access to a terasse on the roof which overlooks our private garden with a pond and a hanging seat. Perfect to relax... Trampoline, indoor table tennis, bycicles are some amenities for the children.

Additionally, there is the second floor available (70 m/2). Here are the two spacious rooms of our sons, a kitchen with access to a balcony, a study and a second bathroom.

We have a loveable Burmesian cat called Fee (Fairy), who would need to be looked after in our absence. Would you be willing to take care of her feeding requirements, knowing that our brother-in-law, who lives on the ground floor, would feed her during absences?

Neighbourhood

Our home is located in one of the nicest parts of Germany: in the "Dreiländereck" Baden-Wurttemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Hessen.

It can serve as an ideal base while you explore highlights of Europe: Flights with http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/ allow relaxed weekend trips to Berlin, Munich, Venezia,Vienna, Stockholm, Paris, London, Luxembourg, Milano, Oslo, Dublin, Barcelona, Carcassonne etc. Day trips by car to the Black Forest (cuckoo clocks), Les Vosges / France, Luzern / Switzerland, e.g. for skiing within 2 hours).

We are with walking distance to a natural protection area at the Rhine and a clean lake to swim. Bakery is just opposite our house, shopping centers, two pharmacies, dentist, medical practitioner, hairdresser, cosmetician, flower shop, banking houses are nearby as well as uncountable playgrounds and sports activities.

Easy access to downtown and its shops,fine restaurants, museums... Public transportation is easily acessible; day trips to Heidelberg, Baden-Baden or Speyer, the Roman town Ladenburg with its pittoresque old town, the Rhineland-Palatinate (a beautiful wine area, a romantic region with many castles, ideal for bicycle tours, hiking, (gourmet) restaurants, wine taverns and traditional German cuisine. There are so many cultural and sportive events during the whole year for each age.
