If you are considering a holiday in the Netherlands, you may want to think about staying in wonderful houseboats in amazing Amsterdam. A canal vacation promises to be one you won't easily forget or struggle too much to pay for, for that matter.
Houseboat bed and breakfast establishments have only recently opened up throughout the city centre. Moored on the beautiful 17th century canals, these small floating hotels allow guests easy access to key attractions from holiday lodgings with a difference.
Environmental enthusiasts will be keen to discover that many of these unusual B-n-B's are invested in energy conservation and clean, green living. Serving only organic produce and with strict energy and water conservation guidelines for guests, these institutions offer luxurious vacationing with minimal environmental impact.
In addition, houseboat holiday accommodation is not exactly sparse. Guests will find their lodgings kitted out with all the mod cons, including wireless internet, televisions, safe and en suite bathrooms. The rooms regularly feature hotel-standard queen-size beds, and guests staying on board will have access to in-room bars and snacks. More often than not, the 'innkeeper' stays on board in order to deal with any queries or requirements.
A houseboat is a quaint, alternative to ordinary accommodation solutions, and it promises to deliver convenience, comfort and an authentically Dutch holiday experience.
