Where can you enjoy a beautiful late summer?

Late summer in the Netherlands

Droomvilla, for example, has properties around Bergen, Egmond, Sint Maarten, and Texel, but also accommodations in other Dutch nature reserves.

Enjoying the late summer on the Dutch coast

The Dutch coast is perhaps one of the finest places to extend the summer. In September, the beaches are quieter, but there is still plenty of room for a long beach walk, a bike ride through the dunes, or an afternoon on a terrace.

From adventure to relaxation

In the Ardennes, you can experience the perfect outdoor adventure, such as abseiling, canoeing, mountain biking, zip-lining, and rafting. When it snows during the winter months, the landscape is transformed into a winter wonderland.

Hiking through forests and hills
