Hotel and restaurant in a park (Voorburg) ‘Delight and Tranquility’ (in Dutch ‘Vreugd & Rust’) is the name of the estate at Savelberg, located just five kilometers from the Hague. You will certainly be delighted by the elegant mansion and enjoy the tranquility of its magnificent grounds, with its ancient trees and well-tended gardens. The wind blowing in from the coast carries the scent of the sea air, a reminder that the beaches are very close by, and sometimes even brings with it a few grains of sand stolen from the bunkers of the neighbouring golf course. The delicate lobster salad Savelberg prepared at the table of the Savelberg’s restaurant for more than twenty years, offers a fusion of flavours. Dining on the terrace while admiring the lovely view of the garden and the Vliet river will heighten this sensory feast. The rooms, decorated in shades of lavender or peach, are like the dishes: colourful and eloquent.
Kasteel Engelenburg
Hotel and restaurant in the woods (Brummen) Located amidst elegant vistas of landscaped gardens, a golf course and old trees in a private forest, the 100 hectare estate of Kasteel Engelenburg offers unforgettable excursions in this beautiful region. This 19th century castle is a historical monument, with hand-carved fireplaces, high ceilings, period furniture and sumptuous suites that evoke the splendour of bygone days. The restaurant, in a 19th century conservatory with a tropical atmosphere, is an absolute delight, as are the lounge with its collection of 300 Scottish Single Malts, the medieval wine cellar, the pretty rooms and the sumptuous décor of the suites.
De Lindenhof Restaurant met Suites
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux in a park (Giethoorn) Set in the Dutch idyll of Giethoorn, a village built on canals, Grand Chef Martin Kruithof and his wife Marjan de Jonge make it their mission to spoil their guests. De Lindenhof is a thatched-roof farmhouse surrounded by the loveliest of English gardens, where Martin Kruithof creates his classic but inventive cuisine, allowing the flavours of the ingredients to speak for themselves. The cellar is stocked with an exceptional selection of wines, and the wine-room has a cosy environment in which to enjoy an aperitif. Seasonings come from the Lindenhof’s own herb garden, right on the kitchen doorstep. On sunny days, dine on the terrace overlooking the delightful garden and canal. Enjoy a delicious picnic on the restaurant’s riverboat, which can be hired with a captain to tour the picturesque canals. To complete the experience, stay the night in one of the Lindenhof’s two spacious suites.
