After decades of trying to make it to this must visit European city, I decided to celebrate my 50th birthday with a visit. Of course, with a destination like Amsterdam and the celebration of my 50th, the expectations were high. Amsterdam and the historic Breitner House and its wonderful host delivered, big time.
After landing in Amsterdam and making our way through the city to a charming little street across from a picturesque park, with enough goings on to keep one busy, but out of the way from the tourist area, I knew we were in for a treat. Camilla, the owner of the property, who takes the kind of care to make your stay more than perfect, welcomed us as if we were friends, long overdue for a visit.
Each morning, we were greeted by Camilla with her infectious smile and zeal, as well as her extravagant breakfast which primed us for the day ahead, and certainly made you feel a little spoiled. Camilla knew everything about the city, where to go, what to do and when, why, and was able to share those special little details, which made each day out and about just perfect.
