Style Notes
This 400 sqm home, built in 1902, feels bright, comfortable and family-friendly with hotel-style furniture and high-end finishes. Warm wooden floors, neutral furnishings and sumptuous fabrics provide a tranquil and comfortable feel, with little luxuries such as underfloor heating, a separate Grohe (sparkling) water cooling bar and a Quooker tap in the kitchen. Large windows let in plenty of natural light. We love the dramatic yet luxurious dark kitchen cabinetry, the fun kids bedrooms and the lovely garden for relaxing after a long day.

Vondelpark, Amsterdam
Inline skating, weeping willows and multiple playgrounds
Ten million visitors a year can’t be wrong: the Vondelpark is Amsterdam’s largest city park, just to the south of Leidseplein and near some of the city’s key museums, and is one of its most popular family attractions. Play in multiple playgrounds sprinkled through its 120 acres, picnic, hire bikes or inline skates, or try outdoor art classes. P.C. Hoofstraat, around the east exit, is one of the city’s most desirable shopping streets, with concert halls, the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum a couple of blocks away.
