Description
Hi, I’m Machteld and I live on the Veluwe in the Netherlands. It is really beautiful here. Beside the nice countryside we are about one hour from Amsterdam en surrounded by lovely little towns. So there is enough nature and culture
I can offer a nice place to stay and good food. I live with my two children (16 and 9) and a couple of cats.
