About Apartment 495 on Texel
Since 1 January 2020, we have been the proud owners of Apartment 495 on Texel. Immediately after purchasing it, we fully renovated and modernized the apartment. This included upgrading the kitchen, flooring, and furniture. The walls were freshly painted, and we chose comfortable beds with luxury mattresses so that you can fully enjoy your holiday on Texel.

Our love for Texel goes back more than 20 years. The peace and quiet, the wide sandy beaches, the beautiful nature reserves, and the charming villages on Texel make the island special to us every time we visit. Whether you choose a weekend getaway, a beach holiday, or a peaceful stay in nature, Texel is a wonderful destination all year round.
