We had such a wonderful stay. The property was stunning with all the amenities one could possibly need. I know that the stairs I have been mentioned to be steep, but certainly no more than a usual townhouse which our young kids ran up and down with no problems, plus there’s a rail. The location of the house was perfect. We were a stone’s throw away from the canal, cafes and restaurants. Sophia’s recommendation for the local Thai was amazing. Even the kids loved the food. We enjoyed our own boat ride around hoorn and walked to the local beach frequently. We drove to Amsterdam a few times, less than 30 minutes to the convenient park and ride and also visited Harlaam, Edam, and the sand dunes. Sophia always made herself available and had so many wonderful recommendations.

Great Place in Super Location

My kids and I had a wonderful stay at the chapel. It was perfectly located between harbor and central square. Shopping and train station are pretty close too. Sofia was very helpful including giving us recommendations, bikes to borrow, and even a jacket to my daughter! Our stay was great and the town is beautiful!

We had an amazing stay at Sophia’s chapel! We travelled with our 9 month old daughter and the spacious downstairs was a huge win for letting her explore and crawl around. Sophia very kindly brought us lots of her grandchildren’s toys to play with, including small trikes to trundle around the court yard. The main bed was comfortable and very large. Super to have a washing machine and dryer in the bathroom. It’s in a great position in Hoorn, just by the old harbour so a very short walk to the new harbour or the main square. Parking for the car was also really good, it is in a small car park off the courtyard. I think one other review mentions the steep staircase, it is quite steep by UK standards (I think more normal for Netherlands). Not a problem for us and it was useful to know what to expect. Thank you so much for an incredible stay and for being so welcoming.

Fabulous!

Superb location just minutes from great restaurants, beautiful harbour and only 30 minutes from Amsterdam on the train. Why would anyone not want to stay in Hoorn? Our hosts were always there if you wanted them to assist with anything, but never intrusive. Thank you Sophia for a wonderful week and an escape from city life, whilst within a major town.

A Truly Special Place

Our stay at this historic chapel in Hoorn was truly special. The property is beautifully furnished, combining the charm of its historic roots with modern comforts. The location is perfect, a short walking distance to the center of Hoorn, for easy access to local attractions, shops, restaurants, and the harbour. The kitchen is well-outfitted and the outdoor courtyard is a great space to relax and enjoy the beautiful garden.The beds were comfortable, ensuring a good night's rest after days spent exploring. The hosts were very accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. We highly recommend this unique and comfortable chapel to anyone looking for a memorable experience in Hoorn.

I would like to take the time to talk about the amazing experience at our vacation rental. The owner Sophia met us when we arrived and explained everything about the house we needed. It was clean and cozy, and we enjoyed our stay. Sophia also shared her courtyard with us, and explained the historic of her home, and also answered any question about the city Hoorn. The house for exceeded our expections and we cannot say enough about Sophia who was generous with her time letting us know all the best spots in the city. Thank you again and we will definitely return. Chantal from Quebec Canada

Eine tolle und ungewöhnliche Unterkunft (ehemalige Kapelle) im rückwärtigen Areal eines Herrenhauses.Zentral und dennoch ruhig gelegen. Ausstattung und Mobiliar waren hochwertig.Ein gelungener Mix aus Antiquitäten und Moderne.Die Matratzen waren hervorragend und ließen wunderbar schlafen.Kommunikation mit Sophia zum Check-In lief unkompliziert und sie hat uns überaus empfangen und durch die Unterkunft geführt. Einige Tipps für unsere Aktivitäten und Restaurants hat sie uns auch gegeben.Auch Check-Out lief unkompliziert. Wir empfehlen diese tolle Unterkunft ausdrücklich.

Besser hätten wir es uns gar nicht vorstellen können. Die Gastgeber waren sehr zuvorkommend, sehr nett und waren immer auf unser Wohl bedacht. Die Unterkunft war ein Traum, - wann kann man schon einmal in einer gotischen Kapelle übernachten? Es war sehr ruhig, wir hatten Rund um die Uhr das Gefühl auch wirklich im Urlaub zu sein. Diese Gastgeber und die Unterkunft empfehlen wir unbedingt weiter. Gerne kommen wir wieder.

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche in einem außergewöhnlichen Ferienhaus, einer umgebauten Kapelle. Die Lage in einem großen Hof/Garten, nahe dem Wasser und dem Städtchen Hoorn ist wunderbar. Wir waren zu dritt da und haben allesamt selten so gut geschlafen, zumal nicht im eigenen Bett. Es war ruhig, die Atmosphäre im Haus war einfach angenehm und erholsam. Alles, was man braucht, ist da, von einer gut ausgestatteten Küche inkl. Geschirrspüler bis hin zu Waschmaschine und sogar Trockner. Die Badewanne samt Whirlpool sah sehr einladend aus… Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll und hochwertig. Sophia und ihr Mann sind sehr herzliche Gastgeber, an die wir uns gerne erinnern!

Das Haus/Objekt ist ein außergewöhnliches und wunderschönes Gebäude für alle Menschen, die historische Häuser wertschätzen. Die Eigentümer haben daraus eine ganz besondere Immobilie gemacht, mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Die Gastgeber selbst sind ganz wunderbare und herzliche Menschen, enorm hilfsbereit und proaktiv. Wir waren dort für eine Woche mit unserer Tochter, die im Rollstuhl sitzt. Ohne, dass wir darum gebeten haben, wurde in einem Zimmer im Erdgeschoss ein extra Bett aufgebaut und eine Rampe am Eingang installiert. Das Gebäude ist nicht barrierefrei, aber wenn man etwas improvisieren kann, war der Aufenthalt möglich. Die Lage ist für einen Besuch von Hoorn und Umgebung ideal. Es war sauber, wunderschön, und es fehlte an nichts. Wir können die Lokation sowie die Gastgeber sehr empfehlen. Herzlichen Dank nochmal an dieser Stelle an Sophia, Leon (und Bracket) und auf Wiedersehen!

Traumschöne Unterkunft in einer luxuriös ausgestatteten neogotischen Kapelle – Wohnen wie im Schloss! Inmitten eines historischen Architekturensembles mit parkartigem Innenhof gelegen, ist die "Villa Alewijn" eine Oase der Ruhe im Zentrum der quicklebendigen Stadt. Dazu eine sehr nette Vermieterin, die viele gute Erlebnis-Tipps geben kann. Märchenurlaub in großartiger Atmosphäre, mitten in Hoorn, einem tollen, historisch bedeutsamen Hotspot direkt am Meer. Ideal für ein Paar mit Kind. Wir haben dort ein paar traumhafte Tage verlebt. Unbedingt empfehlenswert und ein echter Geheimtipp! Ute & Andreas, Deutschland.
