Welcome To the "Michiel De Ruyter House" In Amsterdam!
(Discounted rate for staying longer than 7 days).
GREAT LOCATION AND GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!
DUE TO A COMBINATION OF STYLE, GOOD TASTE DESIGN AND FAIR PRICING, YOU WILL NOT FIND A SECOND PROPOSITION LIKE THIS IN AMSTERDAM.
The building was constructed in the Year 1650, during the so called "Golden Age".
This wonderful house is completely renovated, modernized, and redecorated with a great sense of style and quality. The condition of the building now fits perfectly to the needs and expectations of today's traveler.
This luxury design apartment is only a short 8 min. walk from Amsterdam Central train Station the hub to any major city in the Netherlands as well as Schiphol Airport. Tram and bus lines provide easy access to all you want to do and see in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam accommodates some of the most important museums in the world. The Rijksmuseum, Vincent van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum, they all house old and modern masters of art.
The world famous Anne Frank House is also nearby. The city center is a museum in itself and is best viewed by Canal Boat Rides, rental bike tours or just on foot.
The City has an abundance of restaurants, bars (known as "Bruin Cafe"), for shopping there is the exclusive P.C. Hooftstraat, and many other shops for any taste and budget. For animal lovers there is Artis Zoo, founded in 1838.
Also on walking distance: The Dam, The Nieuwmarkt, Waterlooplein, cinemas, theatres, modern architecture, the biggest library of Europe (also books in many languages), Central Station, Metro, Bus, the red-light area, food stores, churches, synagogues, supermarkets and many more things to see and do.
If you'd like to take a stroll through nature you can visit the Vondelpark, you could say this is our "Central Park" right in the city center.
There are so many more things to see and do in Amsterdam that is too much for listing it up here. To give you the opportunity for covering your personal taste and interests you will find a variety of guides of Amsterdam. They may facilitate your day planning.
You can also use the broadband Wi-Fi network and surf your way around all that Amsterdam has to offer.
Amsterdam is a safe environment where by now English is the second language. When asked most people will be helpful in providing directions.
The apartment has two bedrooms. The big room with a King-size bed and the other room has two separate normal beds that can be put together. As we do not have very hot summers with high humidity, an air-conditioning system is not necessary.
The apartment is one of two luxury apartments which are identical in size and style. The only difference are the colors. The apartment on the first floor, is called "The Royal Orange" Apartment. The other one is called "The Delfts Blue Apartment".
Both apartments have each four beds and are decorated very tastefully and with respect for the historical background of the house, by famous Dutch home designer: Edward van Vliet. They can be rented separately or together.
The character of the house is defined by the founder of the Dutch navy, and famous Dutch Golden Age Admiral: 'Michiel Adriaanszoon de Ruyter'. His cunning seamanship combined with excellent military leadership made him the most successful defender of Dutch merchants sailing the world seas.
Admiral Michiel de Ruyter once was the owner if this beautifully, restored house. It is located along the IJ-harbour where the proud ocean traveling vessels were anchored while preparing for their next voyage to the Indies.
We have tried to preserve the unique historical character of the building while calling out the rich history of its most famous first owner 'Admiral Michiel Adriaanszoon de Ruyter'.
We do hope to see you here and wish you already a most pleasant stay at the "MICHIEL DE RUYTER HOUSE".
