Our neighborhood
We live in a charming historic town called Zutphen, which is only 75 minutes east of Amsterdam. It lies alongside the river IJssel, by many voted as the most beautiful river in Holland. Zutphen has a 'Charles Dickens feel' to it, it is a lovely small town with bendy streets with all kinds of nice shops, specialty stores, museums, a cinema, theater, cosy bars and restaurants etc. The area is famous for it's beauty and there are many nice villages and cities around. Besides this you can easily enjoy the beautiful scenery with small rivers, forests, castles and windmills (you can use our bikes to explore!). If you drive about 25-30 minutes, you enter the largest National Parc, de "Hoge Veluwe" with the Kroller Moller museum where you find many famous paintings of Van Gogh. If you have children you can visit one of the theme parcs within 30-60 minutes distance or they can play with the other children in our neighbourhood (child friendly). Since our town is located in the heart of The Netherlands, it is easy to explore our country from here, there is a lot to see and do, f.e. Amsterdam (75 minutes), Utrecht (1 hour) and The Hague (2 hours). If you like, you can even visit and explore Germany (the border is 40 minutes drive). Something about ourselves
We are Hugo and Bianca and we have 2 daughters called Isa (4) & Nora (2). We run a business in organising company events. We are honest and neat people and we don't smoke or drink. In case we will swap, you don't have to worry: We will take care of your house as if it is ours. WE CAN SWAP FOR A LONG WEEKEND UP TILL +- 8 WEEKS, DEPENDING ON THE DATE. For the summer we are mostly interested in a long holiday in Europe, f.e. United Kingdom, South of France, Italy, Norhern Spain, Croatia, Greece, Switserland or Austria. In wintertime we prefer a further destination in the sun, or one in the snow, but we are open to any nice and new experience.  = marks the location of this home
