Sleeping in style
Bed and Breakfast goes back a long time in history; Before the 20th century it was not unusual for travelers to spend the night in a private home instead of a haystack or local inn. For visitors and business travellers it is an interesting alternative for the usual hotels.
Bed and breakfast La belle epoque is situated in a unique location in Papendrecht on the edge of the polders and city. It has an easy to find, strategic location in the south-west part of the Alblasserwaard polders, nearby Dordrecht, Rotterdam and Gorinchem. Ideal for exploring the West and central part of the Netherlands.
