Unique and awesome location. Very clean and modern facilities in the room. The location feels very local and small business, which we prefer over big chain hotels. The rooms are equipped with a wonderful big and automated skylight and a fan which is nice when it's hot outside. The temperature was agreeable during the night. If you don't have any other plans, make sure to have a breakfast here too! As the hotel is small-scale, you will have a freshly prepared breakfast with amazing local bread, good coffee, yoghurt, eggs, fruit and freshly squeezed orange juice. All served by a dedicated and lovely host, Anna (in the weekends).

The rooms were relatively small but manageable. Just don't bring too much luggage. There is however a big space under the bed where you can store your suitcases. The light in the bathroom was quite dim, so difficult to use for applying make up (we were attending a wedding). If you need darkness to sleep, bring a sleep mask. The wonderful skyligh, which is a blessing by day, makes for a lot of light in the early mornings too unfortunately.

Entry instructions were clear and easy to follow. Breakfast was both varied and delicious! The lounge was a pleasant spot to sit when it got too cold outside. The cabin was snug and comfy with everything we needed. Storage underneath the bed was brilliant. Washroom/shower were great - plenty of hot water. Hosts are a lovely couple and very helpful. Thanks for adding a fresh dimension to our brief visit to Amersfoort.

It felt much more adventurous to stay on a boat than in a hotel! The barge is very tastefully designed and the rooms are well equipped. It was lovely to light the stoves as the weather was still quite chilly. The steps into the boat are steep, so one has to be careful getting on and off the boat. However even our elederly parents managed. The location was very convenient for exploring the centre of Amersfoort. The breakfast was amazing. Elene was a delightful host.

We liked everything!

What an awesome place to stay! The boat is quiet yet only a short walk from Amersfoort centre, and not far from the train station. Check-in and check-out were both easy. I enjoyed using the communal area in the evening, talking to some of the other nice guests onboard and then having a superb breakfast in the morning which filled me for the day ahead.

Everything was wonderful - clear checkin instructions, comfortable cabin with private shower room, delicious breakfast and very friendly hosts. Perfect location near ample parking and a short walk from the historic town centre. We would come back to Amersfoort again just to stay here, and we have told all our friends about it too!

This little B&B just oozes charm. The room is small, as mentioned on the website. But that is part of the charm. I am 188 tall and managed to stretch out on the bed. The bathroom is a nice size, and the rooms were immaculately clean. Elenè the host, is super friendly and helpful, and her assistant, Anna, even went as far as to make me freshly squeezed orange juice and fruit when I was ill in bed. I am vegan, and my wife eats normally, and the breakfast for both was amazing. The location is also perfect as it's very close to the old town. I would highly recommend this stay for what is a beautiful city.

Nothing,

The breakfast was great. The host is a wonderful person. She was very kind and consideration. Made us a lovely breakfast before we went out. Really liked the location, near the heart of Amersfoort.

Staying on a boat can be a bit cramped, especially for a taller person. Nothing to take away from the host and the place, but just something to be aware of if tight spaces are not your thing.

Location was good with a couple of nice places to eat. Bed was comfortable and it was nice to be able to sit in the lounge area of the cabin. Bed was comfortable and everywhere was very clean and well laid out.

Going to the toilet during the night was difficult as you had to climb the stairs out of the main cabin area and down another set of stairs to the bathroom. Also I'm tall so the shower was a bit of a struggle. Our car was broken into which was parked in the car park nearby so would recommend making sure that the car is empty and is in a visible area in the car park.

I stayed at Vita Nova for two nights and it was an amazing experience. The boat is beautifully renovated and spotlessly clean. The rooms are small but comfortable, and the beds are very cozy. The best part of the stay was the breakfast. Elene is a wonderful host and she makes the most delicious food. I would highly recommend staying at Vita Nova to anyone looking for a unique and charming place to stay in Amersfoort.

The boat makes it a memorable experience. It is nicely refurbished, with a large common area where you can make your own coffee from freshly ground beans, and where a nice breakfast is served in the morning. The hosts were kind and the location was central. What more do you want?
