The garden and the gallery will give you an impression of how the wealthy Willets lived while the kitchen and pantry in the basement will clue you in on the daily lives of the servants. Finally, learn how this green oasis in the heart of Amsterdam was laid out in 18th-century French style and how they managed to fill it with historic trees and plants.

A great impression of an upper-class household in the golden age of the Netherlands! There were only a few visitors with me at the same time, so I was alone in the premises most of the time. Stimulated by the Audiguid, I was a guest of the Willet family in my imagination and imagined the rooms with residents and guests. I learned a lot about the society of that time. Very impressive. You can also take photos with your cell phone.

Fascinating

You walk along the street and, unless you are Dutch you have no concept of what these houses, particularly the grander ones are like inside. Well worth a visit

Beautiful place, great to be able to actually walk around the rooms. Definitely worth a visit.

It was very interesting to see such a house from the inside.
