Dear Intervac friends,

we are Andreas (51) and Angela (49), greeting you from the lovely countryside of Lower Austria. Andreas is a high school teacher and Angela is a press agent and student for journalism. Our boys (21 and 24) are both students and have moved out.

We are living in Mistelbach, a medium town 45 minutes north of Vienna. Our house was built in 1955 and has been fully renewed. It has 2 levels plus a cellar (with washing machine and laundry dryer). On the ground floor: office with private infrared sauna, a bathroom with toilet and our 40 sqm open living-dining-kitchen-room with Sat TV, books, DVDs, PS3, DVDplayer, Netflix, free Wifi and a wooden fireplace. Our big kitchen is fully equipped and used to cooking together. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms (1 double bed, 2 french beds and a spare mattress to be laid on the floor if needed), a second bathroom and another toilet. This year we have built a new glass sun-room that opens to the wooden deck that partly covers the swimming pond. It will be finished in the next weeks to be a sunny place for reading, having coffee and enjoying the garden throughout the year.

Outside in the enclosed garden there is a big private swimming pond (natural water, plants, shy frogs, no fish, no fence, 150 cm deep, you need to be a swimmer), a wooden deck area and a table for 8 including a big Weber grill. In summer the garden is full of flowers and provides raspberries, tomatoes and herbs for you everyday. Our pond is nice and cool even in hot summers, but if you prefer chlorine water there is a public swimming pool in town with slides and facilties for beach volleyball and tennis. 3 adult bikes can be used to explore the region.

There are two supermarkets just around the corner and another bakery 300m away, right beside the big museum of Hermann Nitsch. You can reach the city center of Mistelbach in 5 min by car, 10 min bikeride or 15 min. walk. In Mistelbach you find 3 shopping centers, cinema, hospital, restaurants, bars, shops of any kind and much more. From the train station you can take the direct train to Vienna. There is also a new big shopping center 20 min. away towards Vienna.

If you like to go for walks, you will reach the woods, soft hills and fields in a couple of minutes walk. There is also a playground and a little football field across the street.

Be sure that we take good care of your home and belongings and ask you to do the same. Thank you.
We do not allow smoking in our house or in the wooden areas of our garden. And we are allergic to cats.

Looking forward to new experiences,
Angela and Andreas
