This plush villa stands in a peaceful wooded site with standard, superior guestrooms and junior suites and suites.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Walking paths lead straight into the Dinkeldal countryside, threading past traditional Twente hedgerows toward the quiet village of De Lutte.
The rooms
Rooms look out across estate gardens and bocage fields, finished with crisp modern bathrooms in the century-old wing.
The pool and saunas
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor pool opens directly to the gardens, where a thatched barrel sauna sits among the trees.
The spa
Therapists perform Swiss Valmont cellular facials and TheraVine grape-seed body scrubs across seven treatment rooms.
Restaurant De Bloemenbeek
The Michelin-starred kitchen serves French cuisine shaped by estate herbs, and tables on the terrace overlook the surrounding bocage.
At the table
The redesigned hotel bar mixes classic cocktails, and chefs grill over open fire in the plane-tree courtyard.
How it began
Herman and Lenie Strikker bought the 1906 tavern in 1966, soon hosting Johan Cruijff and the Ajax football squad for training camps.
