Life in Lilac Amsterdam, North Holland

Property Description

This idyllic summer home, surrounded by lush greenery and situated just a ten-minute drive from the stunning beaches of the Dutch coast, is an ideal place for a family or a group of friends to retreat to. You’ll be able to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of your surroundings, while at the same time having the option to venture out and explore the many exciting sights close by.

Arrive to be greeted by a cheerful and welcoming exterior, set against a gorgeous garden. You’ll find blissful serenity out here, with plenty of outdoor sitting and lots of well-kept plants. Gather everyone for evenings of conversation and wine, and look up to admire the starry sky at night. The inside will impress you with a huge open-plan living room, with stylish furnishings and beautifully preserved period details. Should a chillier night catch you by surprise, there’s also a fireplace for added cosiness.

Head upstairs for a night of sweet dreams which will find you in the plush bedrooms and wake up well-rested and ready for a day of seaside adventures. There are plenty of things to keep the entire party happy – from those lazy beach days to the artist’s village, artisanal farmer’s markets and the nearby historic city of Alkmaar.
