SURROUND YOURSELF
WITH BEAUTIFUL THINGS

By definition, I am an entrepreneur.

And as an entrepreneur, I am always on the move. This momentum is a defining aspect of my existence: It’s helped me build and scale my businesses and live life my way. 

So when I'm on holiday, I want that special place where everything is in flow. Where I am able to refresh my perspective and recharge my creative batteries.

The perfect hideaway is where everything flows...

After building multiple businesses, it has become my passion to create the perfect hideaway. 

Firstly, it's all about location, location, location. But once inside, you'll realize there's so much more. 

Struck by a not-so-subtle blend of Dutch grandeur and “gezelligheid", I love seeing the look on my guests faces when they walk inside one of my homes for the first time. 

In a minimalist's world, creative design can truly make our lives brighter so I pay a lot of attention to details.

Beyond my passion for design, let me introduce myself.

I’m Leonora. I lived in Bali for three years, I’m dreaming of buying a riad in Marrakech to start a boutique hotel, and Byron Bay, Rajasthan and Ibiza are places that endlessly inspire me. Traveling the world fuels my creativity and sparks new ideas for the homes I create.

I always carry my Gucci glasses. I drink endless cups of tea. People say I’m bossy (and they’re probably right). I talk too much, I rarely get jokes, and I absolutely hate wall-to-wall carpet.

I founded Boutique Homes in Holland to connect with inspiring people and to challenge myself to design holiday homes that feel warm, cosy and unforgettable. My goal? To give every guest that boutique hotel feeling — whether they’re staying in my villa by the sea in Bergen or in one of my Jordaan apartments in Amsterdam.
