We loved this quirky , house boat . The host was lovely and extremely helpful. She prepared a wonderful breakfast for us too.

Anna United Kingdom

Great location and nice homemade breakfast. We came for a weekend getaway and enjoyed ourselves.

Peter United Kingdom

Breakfast and location both excellent. Owners very nice and helpful.

Michael United States of America

Given that it's on a boat, the bathroom (particularly the shower) was much larger and nicer than I expected. The bed was also a good size, and comfortable too. It works as a home base to go exploring or as a cave of solitude. I used it for both. The owners are very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Good location, close to the train station and right next to the old town. Would definitely stay again.

Jeffrey United States of America

Amazing service, very welcoming. The location was great, on the water a quick walk from the city center. The room was spotlessly clean, of course small, but even more comfortable than I expected.

Jaynie United States of America

Fabulous and unique. Perfectly maintained, wonderful hostess. Charming . Safe environment

The cabin was cosy, so clean and compact! The boat was very sympathetic ❤️ Breakfast was served to the table in the atmospheric salong! The breakfast was so delicious and was made of local delicacys. I was staying for three nights in Vita Nova with my 4 year old daughter and we loved our stay in this boat! Elene and her family were so friendly and helpful ❤️ Thank You!

Very welcoming and friendly staff, the room was nice and clean and the shower was surprisingly spacious. Very tasty breakfast.

Julija Luxembourg

We had a great night in Amersfoort. Beautiful city, great dinner in restaurant recommended by Elene. Was cool to stay on a boat. Room size is of course small, but we slept very well and it was a cool experience. Great breakfast offered. Super host.

Staying overnight on the swell of the water? Come aboard and spend the night in one of the modern ship huts. At B&B Vita Nova you do not enter a hotel, but you get aboard of an experience. Here you experience the city of Amersfoort in a special way.
I am Elène and I welcome you aboard my ship Vita Nova. With pride and pleasure I run a B&B in this sturdy cargo ship from 1940. Discover the charm of this ship at this unique location in Amersfoort.
Our home port is Amersfoort: centrally located, easily accessible and close to the historic city center. The ship is located in the middle of 'De Nieuwe Stad', the creative area of Amersfoort. Here you will find small businesses, workshops and restaurants. Where once stood little cottages , is now the Eemplein. A place that includes a supermarket and cinema. Via the modern Eemplein and the beautiful Koppelpoort you can easily walk to the city center.
