Dreaming away in Den Burg...
Duynweelde Texel is a luxurious, rural villa on the outskirts of Den Burg on the Wadden Island of Texel, where there's something to do all year round. The villa features six bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and even a Finnish sauna and whirlpool. In the warmer months, relax on your private terrace with stunning views, in or around the ecological swimming pond, or in the relaxing garden. But even indoors, when the weather isn't so pleasant, it's cozy and inviting in the comfortable seating area around the crackling wood-burning stove or at the games table.
A list of optional extras is available upon request, such as bike rental (through Van der Linde bike rental company), barbecue rental (Green Egg), meat package, wellness set, coffee package, Texel beer package, or wine package.
