Bed and Breakfast Description

The private house, dating from the 18th century, has recently been renovated. The guest rooms, located on the first and second floor, are quaint and comfortable. They are decorated with an accent on a cozy home 'ambiance.'

We have named the B&B after Nicolaas Maes, one of the famous Dutch painters from the 17th century and a pupil of Rembrandt. Some of his work can be seen in the Rijksmuseum.

Awaken to the smell of fresh croissants, which are part of the extended continental breakfast. Complimentary coffee and tea are available throughout the day in the guest kitchen on the first floor.
