The Best of Amsterdam

If your looking for the quintessential Amsterdam experience this is it! The house boat is close to everything while still being is a quiet residential neighborhood. Robertino is as gracious a host as you could ask for and will do what ever he can to make your stay in Amsterdam wonderful. We cannot recommend this houseboat highly enough. We loved our stay and now feel we have friends here.

best houseboat in town

Ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt als Geburtstagsgeschenk gedacht. Wir wurden mit einer Flasche Champagner begrüßt, die wir gleich in der Sonne auf Deck genossen haben.Gastgeber Robertino war sehr hilfsbereit und sympathisch.Es gab jede Menge Tipps und auch Nachfrage per whats app ob alles passt. Auch die Grachtentour mit den Boatsboys ist absolut empfehlenswert.

I booked this barge for my clients, a group of tourists from Russia. I am very glad that I chose this particular barge for the Amsterdam experience. Everything is perfect: a great location, atmosphere, interior and comfort. Very pleasant communication with the host Robert. Absolutely recommended !!! Mark

Freedom and luxury

Great friendly enthused hosts. A real home from home. Living on a house boat for a little while was on my list of things to do - Thanks to my Mum for the inspiration - now i know why she loved it - sixties London. This is perfect for those who have traveled through the anonymous rooms - and need to find a memorable home with every comfort when they travel. Thanks

beautiful, elegant houseboat - what an experience!

Staying on a houseboat in an Amsterdam canal has been on my "bucket list" for a few years and so I as thrilled to be able to stay for a few days on this beautiful boat. The boat is beautifully designed, very comfortable and absolutely lovely. We loved sitting on the deck with a glass of wine and waving to all the tourists in the canal boats- we felt like royalty. The owners were incredibly responsive and even took us on a lovely boat tour of the canals, with glasses of prosecco in hand. The boat is very well located - easy walking distance to everything but also tucked away a bit from the more boisterous, noisy center. What a great way to experience Amsterdam! We highly recommend this lovely houseboat!

A must-do experience in Amsterdam

What a mind-blowing experience to stay at this houseboat during my Amsterdam trip! The hosts were very welcoming: they filled up the fridge, prepared a fruit basket as well as gave us insider tips for the best local restaurants and shops in town. This experience definitely exceeded my expectations of living on a houseboat!

Brilliant property, 10 min from Central Station

If you are looking for a truly unique experience in Amsterdam, you couldn't go past staying in this beautiful houseboat. It's location is 5 star and what I didn't realise is you stay right where you are because from the deck you get to live local Amsterdam - everything happens around you. We didn't leave the boat except for groceries, and believe me, you won't want to eat out - the whole houseboat experience is just too good to leave. Everything you could possibly want and need is in the boat and everything is pretty, cared for and stylish. The owners, Roberto and Carl, go over and above what is required - you'll enjoy your hosts.

Unique Property in a Top A Location!

This place is too cool. Having traveled to Amsterdam many times, I had long dreamt of staying on a houseboat. I had high hopes of my first experience on one, and this place greatly exceeded those high expectations. The boat itself is newly renovated, fitted with luxury appliances and tech, and all with an eye for design. With 3 bedrooms, it's great for small groups and provides individual privacy when you want it. Centrally located in the heart of Amsterdam, this home provides the perfect canal-side setting that ensures you'll feel like you're living like local on your Dutch getaway. Robertino could not have been more welcoming. Check in was smooth and the place was full of breakfast treats, cold Heinekens and plenty of coffee for the espresso machine. Can't say enough good things about this place. You're lucky if it's available for the dates you're considering!
