“Stunning short stay in a stunning and unique hotel”
The hotel was unique, the gardens were stunning and the restaurant was great and used the fresh veggies from the gardens. Our room was on a house boat with stunning views and huge bed with quirky fixtures.

“Lovely old town, great for a weekend stay!”
We would have loved to stay in the tower, but our room in the adjacent building was also nice. Due to construction work nearby, noises started rather early in the morning. The hotel was not to blame for this. The restaurant is fabulous, nice staff and good menu. I specifically loved the market shop next door! Walking from the hotel to the beautiful old town takes about 20 minutes, where you can find lovely antique- and other shops.

“I had a very enjoyable stay at the Villa Agustus and look forward to visiting again.”
The room exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was excellent and the restaurant was immense and crowded, as it was Valentine's Day. The hotel is amazing with it's beautiful gardens at the rear of the building and the fruit and vegetable gardens that are nestled between the hotel and the restaurant.

“A modern art excentric gem in Dordrecht”
We absolutely loved the hotel itself! It’s a very special place, with amazing modern art decorations and design twists. It was like staying at a modern art museum. They have a huge garden where they cultivate a lot of things which can then be found in their restaurant or for sale in their indoor market shop. People were very nice and the view from our floating bedroom was also nice :) We very much appreciated the fact that the windows all had mosquito nets. We also loved the proximity with Dordrecht! We could go meet up in the center of town in no time and come back late without problem :)
