Lovely villa in Odense, 25 min. from the sea
Always looking for exciting and adventurous exchanges - open for all options.
Our house (built in 1935), lies in a quite street close to the centre of 900 year old market town Odense. We would describe our house as comfortable but not luxurious. The spacious and bright kitchen is usualy the centre of activities. From here you have a good view over the neighbouring gardens and the green areas surrounding the house.
The layout of the house:
Basement: has an additional separate entrance, guest bedroom (140cm bed), bathroom, laundry room, TV room and storage room
Ground floor: main entrance, hall with stairs, two bedrooms (180 cm and 140 cm bed), kitchen, two living rooms en-suite, bathroom
First floor: teenage department, one bedroom (140 cm bed) and open sewing room/study (90 cm bed)
After great exchanges the last 15 years (2008 Holland, 2009 Spain, 2010 Berlin Germany, 2011 Sweden, 2012 France, 2013 Ireland, 2014 Holland, 2015 France, 2016 Berlin Germany, 2018 France and Germany, 2019 Berlin, 2020 Norway, 2022 Iceland, 2024 Germany) we are curious where our next exchange will bring us!

Welcome to Odense - right in the middle of Denmark. The historic city welcomes you as Hans Christian Andersen’s home town and the ”capital” of Funen. Odense is charming high streets, lots of museums and activities, Odense Zoo (one of europe best, just 1 km from our house), lovely green parks and much more.
The beaches at Kerteminde are a 25 minute ride from our house.
Highlights in the area include Egeskov Castle (450 years old), Legoland (100 km, 1 hour by car) and a visit to Copenhagen (150 km, 1:45 hour by car)

FR040213La maison est conforme aux descriptions de Joost. Maison avec jardin très agréable dans une très jolie ville Danoise. Joost et sa famille sont très accueillants. Nous recommandons cet échange pour visiter le Danemark qui est un pays qui mérite d'être visité.

IS1018584We had a wonderful exchange. The house is lovely, bright and spacious, perfect for both small and big families. My children loved having spacious rooms, chilling and playing in the beautiful garden. We even had strawberries straight from the garden!
All communication before, during and after our exchange was very easy and fast.
We highly recommend an exchange with family Nijhoff in Odense. The house is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood but still easy reach to many interesting places to visit both in Odense and Fyn.
