We had a wonderful house swap experience in Jutland! The home was modern, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Brian and Mathilde were great at keeping in touch both before and during our stay. Our kids especially loved their time there – they made the most of the family's toys, had hours of fun on the trampoline, and loved going for a dip in the pool. It was a perfect setup for a family holiday. We really appreciated being able to swap cars as well, which made it easy to explore the area. We visited some amazing places, including Aalborg, the picturesque town of Skagen at the northern tip of Denmark, and the beautiful natural landscapes of Rebild Bakker. All in all, it was a fantastic swap. Highly recommended!

Me, my husband and three children spent a fabulous week in Alessandra's place. The flat was as expected and close to many beautiful beaches as well as Pisa, Florence and other cities. Alessandra was easy to communicate with. She thoughtfully prepared us dinner as we were arriving late with our children. We visited in October and the weather was great.

My family and I enjoyed a lovely stay in Cathy's home in Provence for one of our daughter's birthday. The house is kitted out with everything that you could need including a pool and air con. It is in a beautiful part of France. The town is pretty and the kids loved the nearby crocodile park.

Rein and family have a beautiful home in Antwerp. It is full of inspiring art and beautiful crockery. Their home is in a great spot with loads to visit nearby. Our kids particularly enjoyed using their garden. Rein was very easy to communicate with. Plus he kindly sent home a toy that we had forgotten.

We’re a family of five who love travel and exploring new places — both near and far. My husband and I have lived in London for over 20 years and absolutely love the city. We know it well and are always happy to share tips on hidden gems, day trips, or the best family-friendly spots. Our children — one son (10) and two daughters (9 and 5) — are energetic, curious, and love the outdoors. They enjoy cycling, playgrounds, museums, and anything that involves a bit of adventure.
