The two-person holiday home Leijstenhof is situated just a stone’s throw from Maastricht and within walking distance of Valkenburg: in short, the perfect base for exploring South Limburg. A few years ago, the building, which was previously used as a piglet barn, was bought by Gregor and Debby Blom. They transformed the barn into two cosy holiday homes called Leijstenhof and Atelier. For this they used cement bricks that Grandpa Blom once made in the marl quarry. In some of the bricks you can still see bits of the newspaper that was used to keep the moulds clean.
Let’s take a look inside
This adorable little house is tucked away between two other houses and can be reached via a long driveway. The interior of the holiday home, designed by Gregor, radiates warmth and authenticity. You enter into the light and spacious living area. Here you’ll find a seating area with TV and an open country kitchen with handmade cabinets. The kitchen has everything you need to cook any kind of meal. You can of course also choose to take a night off now and again and treat yourself to a delicious meal in one of the many nice restaurants in the centre of Valkenburg (within walking distance). Next to the dining room there is a door into the bathroom. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, washbasin and toilet. The bedroom is located on the mezzanine and has a double bed that can also be split into two single beds.
Outdoor space
Through the French doors in the kitchen you can step out onto your sheltered private terrace and private garden. The terrace is set apart from the garden by two large kiwi bushes that are full of fruits in the summer.
The area
You already know that the Leijstenhof is located just outside the tourist hotspot of Valkenburg. And some of the nice things to do in Valkenburg include Thermae 2000, the caves and the annual Christmas market. But what you probably didn’t know is that you can start several beautiful hiking routes to Houthem and Maastricht right from the front door of the Leijstenhof. Put on your hiking boots and go and explore.
Larger group?
If your group is larger than two people, you can also book the Leijstenhof in combination with the two-person holiday home Atelier. This holiday home is just 40 metres away from the Leijstenhof.
