A luxurious and spacious recreation houseboat for 4 people The living area of this water villa is about 95 m2 and distributed over 2 levels. The living room, bathroom and toilet are situated at water level, while the kitchen and bedrooms go down with small steps. Large glass windows offer views of the Weerribben-Wieden National Park. The sleek design is interrupted by a large round wall with an exterior wood stove on the terrace. A decking all around provides easy circulation while the overhanging canopy keeps out the sun in the summer months. The design was especially mindful of unobstructed views of nature, the outdoors and life on the water. The sheltered landscaped garden on the quay has several lounge areas and its own small harbor. The entire water villa is heated with air heating and operated by Domotics. The total furnishing can be called luxurious.

Watervilla Intermezzo is fully equipped with all modern conveniences. There are detailed descriptions of how the watervilla’s technology works. Virtually everything you need is provided. From the watervilla, you also have a beautiful view of nature.
We received the information in advance via email, including details about the technology. As a welcome gift, there was a nice bottle of wine.

We had two wonderful weeks and enjoyed Giethoorn and its natural surroundings.

Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

Peace and quiet: With the nice weather, lots of small boats sailed by. There’s also a road behind the water villa where cars regularly drive by. On less pleasant days, you can simply enjoy the peace and quiet.
Space and nature: The view from the water villa is magnificent. I’ve gone fishing in the canal and spotted ducks, swans, and even a kingfisher.

Really great! The only thing that could be improved is the cooling. With so many windows, it's hard to keep the inside cool when it's 30 degrees or higher, but oh well, it was only for two days.

Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

A really beautiful, peaceful spot just outside the hustle and bustle. Fully equipped with every luxury, wonderfully spacious and bright. A great area to explore by bike. Good communication with the owners—they were easy to reach beforehand and provided all the necessary information. The light switches take a little getting used to, but it’s also fun to figure them out.

Beautiful place, although less secluded than the pictures suggest, but very idyllic so on the waterfront
