Wij heten u dan ook van harte welkom op deze site en hopen dat u iets zult proeven van Park Florinata. Natuurlijk hopen we u ook nog eens te begroeten als bezoekers of gasten van ons park. Door de recente aankoop van een aangrenzend recreatiepark en de samenvoeging met het reeds bestaande park, kunnen we u ook een ruime keuze aan kavels en daarop geplaatste chalets aanbieden. Park Florinata is een verblijf met een rijke historie dat rustig verscholen ligt op de Veluwe in de luwte van de bossen. Wat onmiddellijk opvalt bij een bezoek aan het park is de rustige sfeer met respect voor de natuur. De hoge bomen en struiken laten iets zien van de lange periode dat dit park zich heeft ontwikkeld. De accommodatie presenteert zichzelf zo als een karaktervolle en rustgevende oase, in conditie gehouden door de gepassioneerde verzorging van de huidige eigenaresse. Park Florinata heeft hierdoor niet alleen recreanten als gast, maar ook een verscheidenheid aan dieren zoals eekhoorns, konijnen, uilen en spechten. Het park is bewust kleinschalig van opzet en biedt veel privacy zodat u in alle rust kunt recreëren...

I checked in and the person helping me was really friendly and told me about the complimentary breakfast and snacks throughout the day/night. She then showed me to my room, which was a double bed with a garden room. The room was spacious, chic, and clean, and the bed was comfortable as was the shower. The shower had a rain shower which was awesome, and the bathroom looked really new. I really enjoyed my stay, and I would stay there again!

There are NO elevators in this hotel so keep that in mind because it was built in the 1600s. I appreciated that the minifridge was empty so you can put your food in there from your outings, also the coffee machine made some good coffee! From this hotel, it is walking distance to probably everything and it was a short Uber ride to the train station. I recommend to get a canal view so you can see the boats coming by! Lastly I did forget my favorite leather jacket in the hotel after I checked out, and they were kind enough to mail it back to my home in the USofA. Thank you very much. =)

I really enjoyed the experience of renting a motorboat from Vakantiepark Giethoorn. When I came up…read moreto rent a boat, the man doing the rentals exclaimed, "You don't look like a buyer!" which cracked me up because I work in sales and know what he means. I think people in sales tend to try and gage who is going to be a "buyer" and who's not before they even say whether they will be or not, and you can end up being pleasantly surprised a lot of the time. They don't require a boating license in order to rent their boats, which meant I was in for an adventure because I had never driven a motorboat before! But the entire experience has made me love boating. I got into my red motorboat and was given a map of the canals. Along the way I met others who were also renting the boats during the same five hours I was, so we got to share in the experience. Hilariously, I crashed multiple times into a large tour guide boat full of tourists, but I just laughed it out at the guy's frustration, given that this was my first time on a motorboat. The actual steering of the boat was pretty straightforward, but toward the end of my five hours I wasn't able to find the original guy from Vakantiepark who had rented the boat to me, so I simply left it on the side of the canal and hopped right out! He was happy to go fish it out for me. Overall I had a great time renting a motorboat from Vakantiepark and would definitely rent from them again.

I just got back from a weekend in Amsterdam with a friend, and I must say, staying at Amsterdam Bed…read moreand Boat really made my visit to Amsterdam special. Loes and Wing, the owners of the houseboat, were incredibly generous and accommodating hosts. This is especially true given my circumstances. To give some context, I am being reimbursed for my trip to Amsterdam, but in order to get reimbursed, I needed a signed contract and receipt as proof for my stay. Loes and Wing personally wrote, signed, and printed these for me -- much of it while they were on vacation! If that didn't already cause enough trouble for them, my friend and I arrived into Amsterdam around midnight, yet Loes and Wing graciously stayed up and waited for us to arrive -- greeting us only with smiles and a bottle of wine. Each day for breakfast, Loes and Wing went out to buy fresh bread for our breakfast, served when we wanted it, along with a generous assortment of juice, eggs, meats, cheese, yogurt, granola, and more. When it rained in Amsterdam the first day my friend and I were there, we were even provided with umbrellas to use. I was actually shocked that for the weekend we stayed in this houseboat, it wasn't sold out like nearly all the other boats in Amsterdam. One would think that the 5-star treatment we received as guests (along with a great rate per night) would cause this bed, boat, and breakfast to be permanently booked. Many thanks to Loes and Wing for making our stay absolutely wonderful!

On a final note the apt gives you easy access to Westermarket and the trams.
