OUR TEAM
Pleased to meet you
At the beginning of 2021, Hotel Flora Batava will open in a unique country estate on the Vecht, near Breukelen. A beautiful boutique hotel where history, nature and contemporary luxury come together. Currently our team consists of a small, intimate pre-opening team, but it is rapidly growing into a fully-fledged hotel team!
HOTEL MANAGER
”The first time I visited the country estate, I fell in love with the beautiful garden and the historic building. Flora Batava is a unique and special place where the tranquility and history provide a special experience.
In recent years I have welcomed guests in many special and authentic places. With my admiration and experience for Boutique hotels, I would like to give you a comfortable stay. Together we will introduce you to the beauty of Flora Batava and its surroundings.”

“After completing the higher hotel school, I left for Curaçao where I ran a boutique hotel for 4 years. Now I am working in a dynamic role at the beautiful boutique hotel Flora Batava. A unique hotel where hospitality is of paramount importance.
During an overnight stay in the hotel you will feel as if you are in luxury and you are fully equipped, in a historic location, which makes Flora Batava unique and special. May I personally welcome you to the hotel? I look forward!”

Owner
“In 2016 I had the idea to restore the 300-year-old derelict country estate De Vijverhof and give it a hotel function. In recent years I learned about the region, about landscaped gardens and about construction. We have preserved and restored the historical elements and created modern spaces. It was a special journey.”

RELAX AND ENJOY A STAY ALONG THE VECHT. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU
“For years I have lived with my family in the Vecht region. I enjoy running, cycling and boating along and on the Vecht. I am charmed by the boats, the panoramic views, the activity of the farms, the beautiful nature and the enormous wealth of cultural heritage. I can also enjoy the conviviality in the villages of Breukelen, Maarssen and Loenen.
I hope I can inspire you to discover how beautiful it is over here. That is why our website features many tips for a wonderful stay in the Vecht region.”
