United States of AmericaWonderful location Incredible sense of history Excellent decor
United KingdomAuthentic property, close to restaurants and shopping. Nice touch to have a piano. Bedroom was spacious and beautiful.
NetherlandsFabulous, 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.
ItalyIt 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."
NetherlandsVilla 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!

Host Info
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.
