My name is Pien and I am the proud owner of Studio ‘Ben Thuis’. After many years of experience in the world of vacation rentals, this is my very first studio at home – and I couldn’t be happier! I truly enjoy welcoming guests, having a friendly chat, and sharing tips on everything there is to experience in this beautiful city. I personally love hopping on my bike to head to the beach or to one of the charming villages in the area. I also enjoy relaxing on a lively terrace or strolling through the atmospheric streets of our historic city center. Our studio is located right in the heart of Alkmaar, in a unique spot where you can instantly feel the city’s charm. It may be cozy, but above all it’s warm, inviting, and lovingly decorated. I hope you’ll have an unforgettable time here and enjoy Alkmaar just as much as I do every single day.
