The Gooi- and Vecht region: a hidden gem between Amsterdam and Utrecht

When thinking of a holiday in the Netherlands, one quickly thinks of the Veluwe, the coast, or the Wadden Islands. Yet, between Amsterdam and Utrecht lies a region that is at least as versatile, yet remains a well-kept secret: the Gooi- and Vechtstreek. Here you will find historic villages, vast natural landscapes, winding rivers, and the famous Loosdrecht Lakes. A destination where you can unwind, actively explore nature, and enjoy the cozy atmosphere of charming terraces and restaurants.

Waarom is september zo'n fijne maand voor vakantie?

    Meer rust en ruimte

    De grootste drukte van de zomer is voorbij. 

    Nog heerlijk naar buiten

    Ideaal voor wandelen, fietsen en buiten zijn.


    Even helemaal weg

    Een paar dagen vakantie kan al genoeg zijn om uit de dagelijkse routine te stappen. 

    De natuur verandert

    De zomer is nog voelbaar, maar de eerste tekenen van de herfst verschijnen. 

Waar kun je mooi nazomeren? 

Nazomeren in Nederland

Droomvilla heeft bijvoorbeeld woningen rond Bergen, Schoorl, Egmond en Texel, maar ook accommodaties in andere Nederlandse natuurgebieden.

A region full of variety

The charm of the Gooi and Vecht region lies in its versatility. One day you walk past stately country estates along the River Vecht, the next day you sail across the Loosdrecht Lakes or cycle through forests, heathlands, and open polder landscapes.

Along the way, you will discover characteristic towns such as Breukelen, Maarssen, Loenen aan de Vecht, and Huizen. Each village has its own atmosphere, with cozy shopping streets, historic buildings, and inviting terraces where you can stop for a coffee or a leisurely lunch.

Staying overnight in the heart of nature

If you want to truly experience the Gooi and Vecht region, a stay at the Loosdrecht Lakes is the ideal base. From a waterfront holiday home, you can hop on your bike, put on your walking shoes, or sail directly onto the lakes.

After a day full of discoveries, you return to the tranquility of the water. Enjoy a drink on your terrace, listen to the birds, and watch the sun slowly set over the lakes. It is precisely this combination of nature, water, and comfort that makes a stay in this region so special.
