On the Dutch coast, this home – complete with its own sauna – sits directly on the edge of the forest and the National Park Dunes of Texel. Sun loungers and an outdoor dining terrace here mean you can spend quiet mornings breakfasting alfresco before basking in the sunshine.

Explore the beautiful walking routes on foot or by bicycle and wander the National Park, through which you can even reach the beach – a twenty-minute walk away. Enjoy hours on the sea listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean waves before heading home when the late afternoon grows chilly.

In the evening, dine alfresco on the terrace as the sun sets over your garden view. Then, unwind from a busy day in the home’s private sauna.
