Looking for the perfect Dutch getaway? Welcome to Utrecht, a warm and welcoming city in the heart of the Netherlands. With its picturesque canals, historic Dom Tower, and vibrant city center, Utrecht offers the charm of Amsterdam without the crowds.
Our city is perfect for exploring by bike or boat, with beautiful parks, family-friendly spots, and cozy cafés around every corner. Utrecht is home to a lively student scene, top museums, and excellent restaurants where you can enjoy anything from a morning coffee to a local craft beer.
With one of the largest train stations in the country, you can easily reach Amsterdam in 30 minutes or explore the rest of the Netherlands. Whether you're here for culture, relaxation, or adventure, Utrecht has something for everyone.
Our neigbourhood: Wittevrouwen, one of Utrecht’s most charming and sought-after neighborhoods. Once a working-class district and later home to the university’s veterinary faculty, Wittevrouwen is now a lively and welcoming area filled with history, character, and a great local vibe.
Stroll through narrow historic streets lined with elegant townhouses, boutique shops, and cozy cafés. Enjoy fresh bread from the local bakery, grab a delicious ice cream at the famous Roberto’s, or relax on one of the many terraces nearby.
Nature is never far away! Our home backs onto a small park, perfect for unwinding, while the Griftpark and Voorveldse Polder offer green spaces, playgrounds, and even a jeux de boules court. The lively Biltstraat and Nachtegaalstraat are just around the corner, offering independent shops, great restaurants, and everything you need within walking distance.

About Our Family
Hello fellow travelers!
We are a friendly couple working in education and the film industry, looking for a home exchange. We have traveled the world with our children, discovering new places through home exchanges. Now that both of them have left home, we still love swapping houses—but now as a couple. We enjoy experiencing new cities and cultures while sharing our home with fellow travelers. Our cozy home, built in 1892, is nestled in a charming and authentic street in the heart of Utrecht. It’s the perfect base to explore the city and beyond!
Enjoy a spacious garden—a rare find in the city!—and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Our neighborhood is lively yet peaceful, with local cafés, shops, and parks just around the corner. The bustling city center is within walking distance, and excellent bus connections take you to Utrecht Central in minutes. From there, Amsterdam is just a 30-minute train ride away.
If you're looking for a character-filled home in a vibrant, historic city, we’d love to swap places! Let’s chat and find the perfect exchange.
Kind regards,
Michel en Sabine
