Sylvia and Lex live in the monumental house on the premises. The B&B is a separate building next to the house. We respect your privacy. And we like you to feel good during your stay, so we will take care of all kinds of questions and necessities that you may have.
We were born and raised here, love the island and love to share common tourist information and also its well kept secrets with you. We also live in the Netherlands in a monument with B&B! Lex has worked as a mathematics teacher and is a movie lover and a writer of film related books. Sylvia is an artist. She paints and has her art gallery in the front part of the main house.

The people in this vicinity are beautiful. We often go for walks to enjoy this neighbourhood, the alleys, the mural paintings that liven up the area and relax and have a drink while watching the ships enter or leave the Anna Bay through the swinging pontoon bridge.
