If reliable internet is the backbone of your workday, Villa Oldenhoff’s high‑speed Wi‑Fi lets you run a remote office without compromise—while you enjoy the calm of the Dutch polder just outside Amsterdam. Whether you’re dialing into back‑to‑back video calls, collaborating in the cloud, or blending business with a restorative workation, you’ll have property‑wide, complimentary connectivity and the space to focus.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up a productive remote office at Villa Oldenhoff, what on‑site amenities support modern work, and practical ways to make the most of your stay—professionally and personally.
Why connectivity matters on a workation
High‑speed Wi‑Fi does more than load webpages quickly. For modern remote work it enables:
- Smooth video conferencing and webinar hosting
- Real‑time collaboration in shared documents and apps
- Fast syncing and secure access to cloud files via your VPN
- Buffer‑free streaming for training and presentations
When your connection is seamless, you can focus on outcomes, not troubleshooting.
Everything you need for a productive stay
Complimentary high‑speed Wi‑Fi, everywhere
You’ll have full, complimentary access to high‑speed Wi‑Fi throughout the estate—guest rooms, suites, common areas, and outdoor spaces. That means you can answer emails from your room, join a call in a lounge area, or step outside to clear your head between meetings and stay connected.
Rooms designed for independence and comfort
Choose from six large rooms, two spacious stable suites (Suite Erf and Suite Weide), or a compact Twin room. Each large room includes a private kitchenette, bathroom, and toilet—ideal for independent routines, working early or late, and grabbing a quick lunch between calls.
Quiet setting with quick access to Amsterdam
Villa Oldenhoff sits in the polder between Ouderkerk aan de Amstel and Abcoude, less than 10 kilometres from Amsterdam. You’ll enjoy rural tranquillity for deep work, with effortless access to the city for meetings or client dinners.
On‑site meeting rooms with fresh, in‑house catering
When you need a more formal setup, book one of the meeting rooms for a brainstorm, training, or client presentation. The in‑house chef prepares freshly made lunches or dinners on site—perfect for powering a productive session without leaving the estate.
Looking for a distinctive off‑site? Het Knakenfort in Abcoude is available as a unique venue for intimate gatherings and meetings, with all catering handled by Xiom Food & Events.
Wellness and balance built in
A private sauna is available to reserve for exclusive use—an excellent way to unwind after a long day of calls. After booking your stay, simply reach out via WhatsApp or email to schedule your preferred sauna time.
The large, flower‑filled garden offers a tranquil outdoor space to relax when the weather is pleasant—great for a short walk between tasks or a mindful break after a deliverable.
Easy arrival, parking, and charging
Driving in? On‑site parking is complimentary and does not require a reservation. Dedicated electric vehicle charging spots are provided. Prefer to arrive by water? The estate borders the river Holendrecht and is accessible by boat.
Breakfast and local dining
Fuel focused mornings with an optional breakfast (€15 per person), including coffee, tea, breads, eggs, local cheeses, meats, yogurt, granola, fruit, juices, and classic sweet toppings. For dinners, stroll to Restaurant De Voetangel or explore additional options in Abcoude and Ouderkerk aan de Amstel.
