I have been in love with French landscapes since my younger years. Who would have thought that I would own a house there after my retirement! The love for the landscapes has taken on such forms that I also started to paint them, something I never had the time to do in my working life. In the meantime a lot of paintings have been created and the house is full of them! Rest and reading are two other important things for me. You will find my reading hobby well represented in the many up-to-date books that are available in "Villa Rivato". You will certainly find the peace of reading in the garden of "Villa Rivato". Mrs Carolien Vink is the house manager of "Villa Rivato". You can contact her with any questions and / or comments.

Beautiful villa with the swimming pool as a big plus. Villa has (almost) everything you need. It is also a quiet location. Fairly close to the center of Kralendijk, so also fine. We definitely want to come back!
