A special holiday house

ninainvorm 2012-05-21 20:47- permalink- in What I like

I have to admit it: even though we have a wonderful holiday to Portugal planned real soon, I can't help but already search for great new holiday destinations. I have a preference for special places and buildings that don't even have to be very far away, but that somehow have a special atmosphere or an interesting background. This beautiful old village church-turned-holiday home called De Kraak van Van Dam is definitely one of those fascinating places. It's now a holiday home that can accommodate six people, and when you sit in the living room you have a great view on the huge original organ.

I must say I've always wondered what it'd be like to live in a former church building: I've often seen beautiful apartments being built in old church buildings, but no matter how beautiful the structures or how amazing the high ceilings, I've always wondered if it would be easy to really feel at home in a building with such a specific history and original meaning...

Die staat ook al even op mijn verlanglijstje, net als de vakantiehuisjes bij het Nederlandse gevangenismuseum en de huisjes van Slaapzand. Ik schreef er eerder al over op mijn blogje (en mocht zelfs zo'n boekje weggeven), "Kidsproof weekendje weg" van Momedia is een echte aanrader (al die leuke aparte locatie zijn daarin terug te vinden):

@ Silvia: Yes, but unfortunately we won't be visiting Lisbon... We're going to the South, near Faro/Tavira. But Lisbon is still high on my want-to-go list too!

Wow, that guest house looks amazing, what an interesting way to give new life to an old building!

Wat een metamorfose! Het kerkelijke gevoel lijkt niet langer aanwezig te zijn. Nu straalt het vooral gezelligheid uit :)
