Holiday homes in North Rhine-Westphalia

Germany has been a favorite destination among the Dutch for years, and for good reason. The state of North Rhine-Westphalia provides the perfect backdrop for a short break or a longer summer vacation. You'll find a huge variety of landscapes, from the rolling hills in the south to the vast forests in the east. Because the region is so large, you choose exactly the atmosphere you need at that moment. Whether you go for complete tranquility in nature or seek out the hustle and bustle of the Christmas markets: with our special accommodations in North Rhine-Westphalia you will make your stay an unforgettable experience.

Looking at the map, two areas immediately stand out, each with its own character. For many, a holiday home in Sauerland is the first choice, mainly because here you are in a completely different world within a few hours' drive. It is the region of a thousand mountains where you can visit any season. If you prefer to stay a little closer to the Belgian border, you will soon end up with a holiday home in the Eifel where the volcanic landscape and deep blue lakes set the scene. Both regions offer a good mix of authentic half-timbered houses and modern bungalows that you can book directly through our platform.

Nowadays we are looking more often for a unique experience rather than a standard hotel room. You can therefore see that the stays of original accommodation in West Germany have grown enormously. Think of a converted train car, a luxury treehouse overlooking the valley or a modern tiny house on the edge of the forest. Wellness also plays a big role when choosing a specific property. Many people look for holiday homes in NRW with sauna or hot tub to really unwind after a long day outdoors. The stays on Vipio range from simple cabins to luxury villas with all modern conveniences.

Families with children won't have to be bored for a moment here, and that starts with the choice of accommodation. In addition to nature, there are numerous amusement parks and zoos worth visiting. Think for example of Phantasialand near Cologne or the many toboggan runs you will find in the hilly landscape. Many vacation rentals are also fully equipped for families, with extra play space, cribs and secure gardens. Because many destinations in North Rhine-Westphalia focus on tourism, there are good facilities everywhere, such as swimming pools and indoor playgrounds for when the weather turns bad.

One of the biggest advantages of North Rhine-Westphalia is its accessibility, but also the price-quality ratio often surprises positively. You are often at your destination within two to three hours, which also makes it ideal for a spontaneous weekend getaway at a competitive rate. Being so close, you save a lot on fuel costs and have more time to actually enjoy your holiday. Outside of school vacations, you can often find great deals on properties that are normally much more expensive. Prices for eating out or shopping in this region are also often just a bit more favorable than we are used to in the Netherlands.

For those who like to put on their hiking boots or hop on a mountain bike, the areas around the famous cities are a paradise. Here you will find thousands of kilometers of marked trails that lead you through dense forests and along babbling brooks. For the active holidaymaker, holiday homes in Winterberg are very popular. In winter you'll be on skis here in no time, while in summer you'll take beautiful trips over the ridges. Don't forget to visit the historical town of Monschau, where the half-timbered houses by the water provide an unforgettable picture during your stay.

Actually, there is no bad time to go this way, because each season has its own charm and matching house. In spring and summer you will enjoy the blooming nature and pleasant temperatures for outdoor activities. Autumn colors the forests a beautiful golden brown and is the perfect time for brisk walks from a cozy forest cabin. Starting in December, many cities transform into a winter wonderland and winter sports enthusiasts flock to the mountains. Because at Vipio we focus on places with the "wow factor," you can be sure you won't end up in a thirteen-in-a-dozen park, but in a place that will stay with you for a long time.
