At the end of October, after more than a year, my partner and I are finally planning a night away together in the Netherlands. Our last escape was to the Fontana Resort in Bad Nieuweschans, where we aimed for twice-yearly getaways. Life's challenges prevented that last year, and after a hectic, emotional period, I deeply crave this quality time.
I adore my children, but every parent needs a recharge. Step away from mom duties and focus on us. We've long dreamed of city trips or sunny holidays, yet longer escapes feel tougher now with older kids who dislike overnight stays at grandma's. So, we're opting for one nurturing night in the Veluwe—not Groningen's Bartje country this time, but a spot tailored for us. The Netherlands offers endless romantic hideaways to explore together.
Sometimes our car acts up, making a rental car ideal for remote spots unreachable by train or bus.
Here's what we love: exploring, unwinding, and reconnecting.
Short on transport? Rent a car—it's practical, eco-friendly, and wallet-wise, avoiding the need for a daily driver.
Tip: Deepen your bond with the Vertellis relationship card game. It boasts rave reviews and is perfect for couples' escapes!
Two years ago, my partner Frank surprised me with an unforgettable romantic night away in the Netherlands. I was thrilled and still cherish it—a full blog post is coming soon (no spoilers!). Curious for details? Email me, and I'll share.
Do you prioritize nights away with your partner?
