Its history, and being embedded in the church building. The upper terrace is a great place to sit with friends. The bedroom is lovely and very comfortable, and the modernity of bath and kitchen are great. And location!

Sophie

Extremely spacious, and it’s great location. Margo was extremely proficient in her check in process, and the place is surrounded by beautiful people working as volunteers at the church.

Breakfast not good... And the circular stair could be a problem for many people .. definitely not for someone with any physical disabilities..

David

This is a special place located adjacent to the church in the heart of the old city. You are staying almost in the church. There is alot of space to relax and a kitchen to not have to alway eat out.

Dennis

United States of America

Fabulous, perfect location in the heart of Leiden. Built into the side of the Pieterskerk, a step into history. The house is managed by the Pieterskerk Foundation, who could not have been more helpful. It is on 3 floors, with the traditional steep and winding wooden stairs, so not suitable for the less mobile.

It was amazing to stay at such an iconic location in Leiden. The apartment is just lovely as is, with several touches that made one feel one was staying in a place of historic importance, but with modern amenities (luxuriously comfortable bed, excellent shower, etc). But being just in the shadow of Pieterskerk gives it the "X Factor."

Villa Rameau was everything I hoped and more. The staff were exceptional. Friendly, helpful and a pleasure to interact with. The Villa itself is just amazing and so well maintained. I love the history of the place and the unique touches within the villa. That rooftop deck with its incredible view of the Pieterskerk was my favorite part. It was so relaxing to sit outside in comfort and listen to the church bells. Just wonderful. The location is perfect..so close to many things and very easy to get to from Leiden Centraal. I will DEFINITELY be back!

Villa Rameau is located in the former sexton's house of the Pieterskerk Leiden. The sexton couple Rameau lived here from 1916 to 1946. Their sons, Jan and Chris, grew up in and around the Pieterskerk Leiden. Between 1594 and 1648 houses were built on all sides around the Pieterskerk Leiden houses. The houses, in different sizes and scapes, were inhabited by elderly - prebendary's - who for a one-off fee bought a lifetime of 'free' room and boarding. The sexton's house is such a former prebendary house. After a thorough restoration in 2013, classic and design go hand in hand.

Leiden is the perfect starting point for exploring the attractions in the area. The beaches are only a few kilometers away. Or, have you ever seen more than 7 million tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, all in bloom? Visit the Keukenhof, the world famous and most beautiful spring garden with 32 hectares of flowers.

Leiden is a unique historical city, famous for its almshouses, university, monuments, museums and glorious history. The spirit of the Golden Age lives on here, a place where Rembrandt was born: Leiden is definitely worth seeing. An excellent way to see Leiden is from the water, take a cruise or rent a boat.

While the restriction on traffic in the town, being all but traffic free is nice, Parking is around 600 mtrs walk - however a shuttle bus runs very regularly.
Wonderful historic house attached to the church, which now open as a tourist attraction. Great range of new cutelry, kitchen equipment. excellent furniture, comfortable double bed (not two sing beds joined together often the case with many accomodations and hotels which we finda pleasent bonus. Impeccably clean. Cleaning service every day.

There are small extra's that would really make the different... For this price category I would expect to have a least sugar for the tea and coffee. Milk is provided but we needed to go and buy sugar. Also a paper roll or some napkins would be expected or at least highly recommended. The same with same kitchen soap. Very nice there is a bath tub available but so small that it's nearly impossible to use.
The house is really nice and we'll located
