“Dream stay in Utrecht”

We thought it would be fun to stay somewhere a bit different on this trip, and we were right. Worth every cent to stay in such a unique and beautiful apartment, right on the canal. Exceptionally clean and comfortable, there was everything available for a fantastic stay. Hosts were lovely. Would definitely stay here again if I returned to Utrecht :)

“A Perfect Stay in the Heart of Utrecht – Truly Unforgettable!”

This is hands down the best place to stay in Utrecht! The location is simply perfect — right in the heart of the city, just a 3-minute walk from the iconic Dom Tower, yet tucked away on a quiet street in a charming neighborhood. Within 5 minutes on foot, you’re surrounded by some of the most beautiful spots Utrecht has to offer. The apartment itself was absolutely spotless, incredibly well-equipped with everything we could possibly need — and even more! Staying in a beautifully renovated former cellar, with a private terrace directly on the canal, was such a unique and magical experience. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived. This stay exceeded all our expectations — we would recommend it 100% and would love to come back. A hidden gem in Utrecht!

“A wonderfully unique and perfectly situated property!”

A unique property, beautifully transformed into this wonderful canal-side accommodation. A clean, modern style but one which worked harmoniously with the brickwork and curves of this gorgeous hideaway. Perfectly located to be in the centre of stunning Utrecht, but still largely peaceful. Breakfast next to the canal in the sunshine was a particular highlight!

“Location and space are wonderful!”

Location is exceptional. Nice space. Lovely to have dinner or relax on the canal.

“50th birthday weekend in Utrecht.”

Absolutely stunning apartment in a great location in the centre of Utrecht. Apartment spotlessly clean and had everything we needed to make our stay memorable. Very helpful lovely host, Anne-Marie told us a bit about the history of the property. Would highly recommend!

“Wonderful place, beautifully styled with high quality finishings. Clean and well equipped.”

Excellent location, a real experience staying right on the canal is wonderful. Shops, bars and restaurants are all a stones throw away. The massive gothic church is one of the most beautiful you will see anywhere in the world.

“Our stay was superb and we loved staying on the canal .”

The location was excellent as was the accommodation . The host was really pleasant and nice ,he showed us round the accommodation well . My partner and I would have no hesitation about going back . It was a superb experience staying in this unique location. Thank you very much for having myself and Sally as your guests . We both hope to return one day . Thanks again from Bonnie Scotland , haste you back ........

We initially planed the trip to Utrecht for our toddler who loves Miffy. The location proved to be perfect not only because Miffy museum is within walking distance but it was also next to the city centre in an unique spot by the canal. The neiboughood is so quiet and peaceful, sometimes we saw ducks just passing by the canal. Needless to say, the property was exceptional. It was reformed beautifully with great attention to detail. The host Annemarie was super kind and made us feel welcome. It was a great escape to spend a few days in such a beautiful property and I was sad to leave!

“Most unique , beautiful , historic place to stay”

This is the most unique property, sat right on the new canal , it is furnished/decorated beautifully and has more then you need for a perfect stay . The hosts were really friendly and helpful. Location fantastic only minutes from all the main sights but was so quiet . Would return in a heartbeat and definitely recommending to family and friends. You really are staying in a piece of history !

“A tranquil haven close to the bustling centre of Utrecht”

Brilliant niche location.

Perfect small apartment and well appointed with all the items we could possibly need. Nice modern feel and very clean

“Little Bijou near city center”

Quiet place near the city center. Beautiful space to be. Very kind and attentive hosts. We liked it very much.

The location is perfect. You are walking distance from everything but it is still quiet and peaceful with birds singing and the canal water slowly flowing past with the occation duck making his way past. We had a lovely time just sitting outside drinking coffee in the morning and even the teens was entertained. Wifi available. 😁

“Beautiful location in the heart of Utrecht.”

Beautiful property in the center of Utrecht - walking distance to much the city has to offer. On top of that, the host was amazing. He personally let us into the property and showed us how everything worked, and also provided a welcome packet with some snacks and drinks - much appreciated after a day of traveling.

“A brilliant apartment in the perfect location”

A brilliant bolt hole for exploring Utrecht and beyond. The apartment is right in the centre, a couple of minutes away from lovely cafes, restaurants and shops. You're 1 minute from the Dom tower (a handy landmark to aim for when wandering around). It's an extremely cute setting, overlooking the canal-path in a converted cellar, and has been stylishly renovated. There's everything you need to cook, plenty of storage, all the appliances you might need and space to relax. I wondered if it would be cold in winter, but it was very warm due to the effective heaters in each room. It feels very private as it's below the road and you don't hear much from above. We would love to return!

“A really lovely experience staying at Vlinders. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.”

The location, the warm welcome, the cleanliness. Absolutely everything was pretty much perfect for our family of three.

“The best apartment in Utrecht!!”

What’s not to like!! Modern, yet retaining many original features, the apartment was warm with impeccable attention to detail. Vlinders is located in the very exclusive Nieuwegracht, which is both stunning and very quiet. Annemarie and Jan were very welcoming, engaging and obliging. We felt warmly received and well looked after.

“After decades of global travel, hands down best accommodation ever stayed in”

the hosts were super flexible, agreeing to meet us early and giving a personalised tour of the apartment. It was my husbands birthday and they left wine and snacks on arrival and gave us local Dutch cookies on checkout! All awesome, personalised and unexpected but appreciated touches. The photos though awesome, aren't as amazing as living it.

We loved the location, close to everything and the view of the canal was peaceful.

“Phenomenal stay in beautiful Utrecht”

This place is phenomenal; truly one of the best places we've ever stayed. It was very clean and updated. Beautiful design and we loved sitting outside by the canal. There are also many small touches that were so helpful, like umbrellas. If we return to Utrecht, we'll absolutely stay again! As a bonus, Annemarie and family were incredibly kind.
