Picture yourself living in a charming villa nestled right in the heart of Midsland, on the stunning Wadden Island of Terschelling.

It’s a tight-knit community that embodies the friendliness and warmth the Dutch are famous for.
Now, the villa itself—ah, where do I start? This is no ordinary property. Originally built way back in 1870, it went through a major renovation in 2012, blending the old-world charm with modern-day comforts.
