House in Nieuwkoop, Netherlands
Our house, 640 m2, is stylish and cozy situated in an area called the green heart: green because of the nature and countryside, heart because of its central location equally close to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht (app. 40 min.) The natural beauties around consist of a wonderful lake which is partly suitable for swimming and boating and partly a nature reserve. Furthermore the closest beach is app. 35km west.
The house consists of a large living room with view on green fields occupied by geese, swans, donkeys, sheep, cows and horses and a rather curious Emu. Attached to the living area is a well equiped kitchen with professional cooker (we love cooking!). There is also a music studio on the ground floor with our second grand piano and a keyboard. The instruments can be played if treated with proper care. On the back of the house there is a big terrace with a little pier on the water, a wonderful place to sit, eat and drink as you can see on the photographs. In this garden there is also a picknick-table and a small, cozy breakfast area under the tree. By the water you can set up a hammock.
On the second floor is the spacious master bedroom with access to the balcony (south and warm), two children's bedrooms and a spacious double study with computers with available internet access. WiFi also available. The bathroom has just been renovated in 2020 and is modern, easy maintenance, with a comfortable walk-in shower and two sinks.
The attic was our children's paradise and can still be used as such by kids: lots of games, a ping-pong tablet a dart board and some instruments. It is so unpolished that nobody can do much harm. It is also the access to an extra nice guestroom with dubble bed and separate sink.
In front of the house there are three private parking spaces. Besides there is a shed for the bycicles (2 and a racing bike).
Our village is small and a perfect start for wonderful biking tours. Our house is located central and in a quiet neighbourhood. Shops are within less than 1 km. We would be glad to advise you on touristic attractions such as the unique line of windmills just outside the village and lots more depending on your interests.
We are a caring an uncomplicated family and hope to find similar partners to exchange with. Write us for questions!
We have either a VW Golf-Variant blue motion or a smaller Toyota Yaris available for exchange.

Sobre el vecindario
Our village is a perfect place to get acquainted with Holland. To start with we live at a beautiful lake where you can swim (foto) and rent all kinds of boats (row, canu, sail, electrical) to enjoy water and nature.
At close distance of half an hour there are plenty other nice lakes as the Reeuwijkse plas (link). All of them can be biked perfectly and if you want to take the bikes there you can use our bike-carrier.
And there is of course the sea with its dunes and large beaches at a 40'ride. You can rent a step and step through the dunes to the sea, take a swim, enjoy the atmosphere or play some volleyball of football.
Within 10' we have the only 4-windmills in a row still working in Holland (link). And of course there is also within half an hour the famoux Keukenhof: beautiful styled gardens with thousands of flowers (tulips among others) specially attractive in May or June.
The most attractive cities as Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, Den Haag (interesting musea and Madurodam - Holland in miniature), Leiden, Haarlem, Gouda are all within 40'drive. Basically all interesting places in Holland can be visited in a day's tour and you can choose if you want to enjoy nature, culture, sit in one of the nice restaurants or cafés or get involved with van Gogh, Rembrandt among others.
If you want to go south and take a glimp of Belgium you can even reach Antwerpen and Brugge within 2-3 hours.
Herewith we enclose some interesting websites for your information, but we would be happy advice depending on your interests.

Penso sia stata la famiglia perfetta con cui effettuare il nostro primo scambio. Nella loro bellissima casa si respira un'aria internazionale, il loro amore per i viaggi e la cura nell'accoglienza. E' stata un'esperienza importante, non solo per l'occasione di visitare l'Olanda ma anche per comprendere al meglio la filosofia che caratterizza i membri di Intervac, Consiglio fortemente questo scambio, e spero di ricambiare presto
Alles perfekt, wie erwartet. Top Lage, angenehme Wohngegend. Gepflegtes Haus und liebe Tauschpartner.
Diana und David haben sowohl im Vorfeld als auch während des Austausches alles ausgesprochen gut, zutreffend und hilfreich erklärt und jederzeit und schnell auf Fragen geantwortet. Wir haben uns rundum willkommen gefühlt, und alles war wie im Vorfeld besprochen gut vorbereitet. Das Haus selbst und die Umgebung sind sehr empfehlenswert, und wir haben die Zeit in Nieuwkoop sehr genossen. Ein ganz besonderer Dank geht an den Sohn, der detailliert und liebevoll einen Ordner mit ausführlichen Ausflugs- und Beschäftigungsideen gestaltet hat!
Giulia was altijd enorm behulpzaam en heeft veel extra informatie verstrekt, hetgeen we zeer gewaardeerd hebben. We vonden haar oude boerderij-type huis geweldig. Het is een ruim huis en kwam overeen met haar beschrijving en foto's. De omgeving is adembenemend mooi, al was het in augustus heet. We hebben er geen last van gehad en veel prachtige steden bezocht. Haar poes is een schatje! Al is Montecastrilli een klein dorpje, het heeft een oude kern en ligt centraal in Umbrië, perfect voor mensen die veel willen zien van de omgeving.

We are two musicians: Diana, giving piano lessons at home to children and adults and also working as tour guide for musical trips within Europe. David teaching piano at two leading Conservatories in De Hague and Amsterdam and giving classical concerts and masterclasses. David is also director of the young talent departement of the Conservatory of Amsterdam.
Felix is 24 and is doing his master in theoretical physics at the University of Amsterdam. He is very much into playing chess. David jr. is 27 and a classical percussionist currently doing his master in the Rotterdam Conservatory, teaching a lot, also young talent at the Conservatory of The Hague and playing in orchestra's, ensembles and as a soloist. They both live on their own.
We have a cat named "Pato" to be taken care of. It goes in and out through the petport, but sleeps in the house. She is low maintenance and sweet but doesn't like to be carried.
Since 2009 we have had around 40 wonderful exchanges to a lot of countries and beautiful cities. Looking forward to a new year of special experiences. We are a caring family and like to treat other houses as we would like others to treat our house.
We are open to all offers from now onwards. Good chance that we will only be 2 people as our two boys will probably not be travelling with us any more, or will only join for a short period.
Non simultanous exchanges are difficult but don't hesitate to ask as if possible we like to make things work out. Please feel free to contact us!
