Luxurious and Private Villa in Friesland

Imagine having your own exclusive club, but with much more privacy and luxury. Upon arrival at the villa, a welcome drink awaits you, and on request, there are fresh oysters or an afternoon tea. The lighting and temperature are already set to a pleasant level, so you can immediately relax and enjoy your stay.

Cook together in the fully equipped kitchen, where you can even make your own ice cream with the ice machine. Fresh organic herbs are available on the terrace, and there is high-quality olive oil on the kitchen island. Set the table with stylish dishes and glasses and enjoy the extensive equipment, far exceeding that of a typical holiday home. Nearby, there are several supermarkets with an excellent range of fresh products for all your culinary experiments.

There is plenty of time for relaxation with a book, newspaper, or admiring the unique design of the villa. Practical amenities like two dishwashers make your stay easier, and there are plenty of cooking utensils and books for culinary adventures. Two washing machines and two dryers are available, as well as stain remover and detergent. Cleanliness and well-maintained facilities are guaranteed.

After a day full of activities, you can unwind in one of the two jacuzzis or enjoy the sauna. This is the perfect way to fully relax and unwind.

In the evenings, you can watch a movie together or enjoy the night in comfortable beds with freshly scented bedding. After a relaxing bath with soft towels, shampoo, and shower gel, you will sleep soundly. In the morning, make a cup of coffee for yourself in bed. The attention to detail and comfort will surely be appreciated.

You can park on the private parking lot, so you don't have to lug heavy bags or worry about parking meters. After a day of sailing on the Frisian lakes or a bike ride, enjoy a barbecue evening with high-quality steak knives that can even cut through the toughest steaks.

Music lovers can play the piano, and a karaoke machine provides entertainment.

We also offer an all-inclusive package with three meals a day, coffee, tea, and snacks. Alternatively, we can deliver fresh bread rolls every morning. Bicycles can also be rented.
