“Fun to sleep in a giant wine barrel, which was attached on the front of a standard motel room, nicely renovated into a good-sized living room, followed by a large bathroom (complete with tub, separate shower, and double sinks). Only issue is with the barrel on the front, it's not as sound-proofed, but the other guests were all quiet when we stayed. We were pleasantly surprised at how good our dinner in the restaurant was.”

“We felt very welcomed by the staff. The option to rent bikes was very convenient. The breakfast was great too.”

“The location is great if you're looking for a relaxing vacation. It's not much and it's not super fancy (especially in off-season), but the village of Stavoren is charming and lovely and the people are very welcoming. The hotel itself is very nice, unique, with barrel shaped rooms. We tried a "normal" barrel and a spa barrel and the later is absolutely fantastic. You can hop from the Jacuzzi to the sauna to the shower. I especially loved the barrel which fills with water and dumps it all at once. For a quiet couples vacation this is a very good choice.”

“The atmosphere was amazing. We loved the little town. We would definitely go back there again if the opportunity came about. The rooms were so unique. We would recommend this hotel! The staff were super friendly and incredibly helpful (needed the menu translated).”

“Everything. They went above and beyond expectations. When they found out it was our 16 Year Anniversary, they decorated our room with balloons and hearts. ”

“De Vrouwe van Stavoren is from the front an old fashioned looking building (meent in best possible way, a little nostalgic), at the back however a very unique place. Sleeping in a barrel, at least you should try it once.”

“Good location right in the beautiful city centre, next to the beach and restaurants. Good breakfast buffet options. Lots of privacy, clean, modern facilities in the room. Very comfortable beds. ”

“It’s a very pleasant experience. The design is very unique, with cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The bathroom design is luxurious. The staffs are very friendly. The hotel is quite considerate. There are plates and table wear in the room. Various types of coffee and tea. It also has beautiful garden. Location is fantastic. It’s on a nice side of the town, facing the sea. Little idyllic bridges, colorful houses around. Highly recommended!”

“Had an amazing stay here. Truly enjoyable! Easy to find and a beautiful location even in the winter. The staff was so kind and the ‘wine barrel’ very clean and well maintained. Even though they couldn’t serve breakfast in the restaurant they made a package to enjoy in your own room and it was actually really nice, including some hot coffee. Highly recommend! ”

“The winebarrel rooms were so different and very comfortable. The location was perfect and the staff made every effort to make the stay comfortable. We hade wine and cutlery waiting in our little loving room so that we could enjoy take-aways. In the morning, we could pick up a wonderful breakfast to enjoy in our living area. All in all, it was wonderful and we’ll definitely go again!!!!”
