Welcome to your luxurious water villa in picturesque Balk—perfect for families or groups of up to 6 adults and 2 children. Located in a peaceful, small-scale villa park with direct access to the Slotermeer, it’s a dream stay for nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts. Rent a boat just 100 meters away and explore Friesland’s stunning lakes at your leisure. Inside, you’ll find a cozy yet modern living area with a Smart TV, large dining table, and a fully equipped kitchen designed for shared meals and lasting memories.

A Storybook Setting in Historic Balk
Set in the heart of the Frisian Lakes region, your villa is just minutes from the charming village of Balk, known for its rich history and canal-side beauty along the Eleven Cities Route.

Whether it’s culture, nature, or quiet strolls you're after, this area offers it all—wrapped in the serenity of Friesland.

Dine by the Water, Unwind on the Terrace
After a day of adventure, return to your private garden and unwind on the furnished waterfront terrace—perfect for sunset drinks or a peaceful morning coffee.

Die Villa war sauber und gut ausgestattet und bot alles, was wir für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt benötigten. Die Schlafzimmer waren gemütlich, und wir schätzten die Privatsphäre der Badezimmer en suite. Obwohl wir unseren Aufenthalt genossen, empfanden wir die Umgebung als etwas zu ruhig, was ideal zum Entspannen ist. Erwähnenswert ist der nahegelegene Strand in Balksterstrân, der einen Besuch wert ist. Alles in allem eine gute Wahl für Familien, die einen ruhigen Urlaub verbringen möchten.
