B&B Vita Nova

A stay at Vita Nova really added to the positive experience we had visiting Amersfoort. The owners could not have been more welcoming. Vita Nova was immaculately clean and the beds were very comfortable - I slept so well. An amazing apple cake was available for us to help ourselves to. We were left to our own and trusted to use the minibar and snacks on an honesty basis. Would definitely stay again if we are in Amersfoort.

A hairdryer in the room could have been useful. A very minor issue, but my shower was slow to drain so I had to keep stopping it to avoid it overflowing. However I think this was only my room as my friends said their showers were fine. Really nothing to complain about, we loved our stay.

Staying on a converted canal boat was truly a wonderful experience. Yes, the rooms are small and cozy, but it’s a BOAT. If you want to spend your holiday watching television, this is not for you. Instead, if you want a lovely, cozy, memorable experience, or if you love marine living, this is PERFECT! From opening the hatch and descending the stairs with rails made from oars, to the galley with ropes and long reclaimed wood tables, every detail of this boat is lovely and hospitable. The morning breakfast is also perfect and the proper amount. Folks who are used to seeing an enormous breakfast buffet elsewhere forget that such buffets are for feeding dozens of people over a 3-4 hr period. Instead, the host makes an ample amount for each guest, timed according to your preference. It is perfect and not wasteful. We will definitely stay here again.

First of all, Alice is a wonderful host, very friendly, spontaneous and truly making her optional "delicious" breakfast. Sleeping on a boat is different than "normal" which was a nice experience. The location is close to downtown and easy parking nearby. The cabin is small, but functional. The bed was good (not too soft nor too hard) There are multiple drinks and snacks on board for very reasonable prices (good for the late evening)

ONLY because of the hot weather the whole ship heats up and there is no air conditioning. At night we opened the rooftop window and used the fan to cool down a bit. Take any moderate temperature in a season and it would not take away some of the pleasure.

Excellent location in delightful historical Amersfoote. The warm hospitality feels like is home away from home. The breakfast is locally source.
