Forest Retreat- Luxurious home with private Sauna

CharlotteRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We felt right at home at the Forest Retreat. The entire accommodation is lovingly designed and above all the sauna and the equipment of the kitchen leave nothing to be desired. We will be happy to come back :)

Historic old building - Deluxe Studio Quiet/Central

AlinaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Dear Joel and Florian, I just wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible stay at your beautiful historic home in Neuss during ProWein 2025. From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcomed and at ease. Your warm hospitality, attention to detail, and understanding nature made our experience unforgettable. Staying in such a remarkable architectural monument was a privilege, and sharing that experience with my family made it even more special. Everything—from the atmosphere to the comfort and unique charm of the house—exceeded our expectations. Thank you once again for being such outstanding hosts. I sincerely hope to return in the future and will wholeheartedly recommend your home to anyone looking for a truly exceptional stay in Neuss.

140 sqm apt, roomy, modern, central, free parking

EliseRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Laura’s place was so wonderful. We enjoyed the close walk to bakeries and stores, and options for public transportation within 10 minutes. There was so much space inside for our large group! It made an already great trip even better.

Great 54 sqm apartment

KathrinRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Very friendly contact. On the first morning, ask if something is missing. When asked if there was a multiple socket, it was given to me shortly after. Very service-oriented. Everything was clean and very well maintained.

Apartment with large conservatory to the lake

BerndRating, 5 stars20 months ago

Wonderful view over the South Sea to the city! There you can still leave the Romans on the right... Only the weather could be improved. However, the winter garden is waterproof. I would be happy to go back to the Nirderrhein for a short vacation!

Maisonette Apartment in Krefeld with 2 balconies

BetülRating, 5 stars2 months ago

The duplex apartment is really beautiful! It looked exactly like the pictures, was super decorated and clean. We felt very comfortable. The Beuys team was very accessible and responded quickly and kindly to questions. Thank you! Only point of criticism: Some heaters (two in the living and dining area as well as one in the bedroom) did not work, which is why it was sometimes quite cool. However, the team informed us that there was an additional radiator in the apartment, which we then also used. Unfortunately, this had to be turned off overnight as it was quite noisy (for those not sensitive to noise probably no problem). Overall, everything was great!

A lovely house, we really enjoyed our short stay. Quiet neighbourhood and the house was immaculate, beautifully well equipped (especially the kitchen), warm and cozy.
