The Netherlands is a land of water. Everywhere in our country you can find rivers, lakes and canals. Besides sailing on these waters, you can also live on them! In the Netherlands, people have been living on houseboats for hundreds of years and you will find houseboats of all shapes and sizes all over the country. In the city of Amsterdam alone, for example, there are more than 2,000 houseboats. Some of these houseboats in the Netherlands are rented out as accommodation for spending the night. Spending the night on a houseboat is very popular. Sleeping on the water is a special experience for many people.

Also on Vipio you can find some beautiful houseboats that you can book for a nice overnight stay, a weekend or a short holiday. The houseboats are often located in beautiful places or have stunning views. Below we have highlighted 5 special houseboats for you that you can book directly on Vipio.

1. Houseboat in Amsterdam
This wooden houseboat was designed and built entirely by the owner himself. The houseboat is suitable for 4 people and is located in a quiet area in Amsterdam-North. However, within 15 minutes cycling you are already in the city center. The best thing about the modern furnished houseboat are the 2 spacious beds, each with a lovely double bed. The beds can be closed with small doors so you can sleep wonderfully cozy and romantic. Outside in the garden of the bed & breakfast there is a picnic table and a barbecue. In sunny weather you can have breakfast here or enjoy a glass of wine as the sun sets. Check out this houseboat.

2. Water villa with amazing view
This large water villa is probably one of the most beautiful houseboats in the Netherlands. Not only from the outside is the houseboat a picture, but also the interior of the houseboat is beautiful. The water villa is 120 m2 in size and has 2 floors. There is a large living room with pantry, lounge seat, bathroom with bath and shower, 2 toilets, 3 bedrooms and a large kitchen with all amenities. Sitting on the couch in the living room you literally look at the ducks and swans. From the second floor you look out through the large windows over the Dutch polder landscape. Here you live in the middle of the seasons; in the summer you can enjoy boating here. In autumn it is a pleasure to walk or cycle here and then warm yourself up by the stove. In winter you can be the first to skate here on the small, shallow ditches. And when spring arrives you can see the lambs frolicking in the meadows. In the water villa, "a room with a view" actually applies everywhere. Check out this houseboat.

3. Houseboat in Giethoorn
Giethoorn has great appeal to tourists and day-trippers. The village is known worldwide for its picturesque houses, the many bridges and waterways where you can take tours with so-called whisper boats. Giethoorn is therefore also called "Dutch Venice. This elongated houseboat is located in a tributary in Giethoorn. The modern houseboat for 4 people is an example of Dutch Design. Large glass walls offer views of the surrounding nature with a wide variety of birds, deer and rare species. In the high season you can see the boats passing by from Giethoorn.
