Romee Strijd's home exemplifies Mediterranean minimalism – available on Airbnb now
The villa exhibits a natural stone kitchen and an arty living room – creating a sunny sancutary in the Dutch countryside
Model Romee Strijd has listed her minimalist villa on Airbnb, offering, for the first time, a glimpse inside her life and the surroundings she calls home.
Hidden in Pijnacker's verdant countryside (in Zuid-Holland), the home masters modernity – comprising warm neutrals, soothing arches, and limewashed paint, the latter being a trademark of the Mediterranean minimalism style.
While the model's family home may be situated in the northwestern part of the continent, it pays homage to its southern neighbors with its Mediterranean-style natural stone kitchen and minimalist living room designed to accentuate sunlight through its open-plan design and tall window panes.
Following several years in New York, Romee, known for her work with Alexander McQueen, Balmain, and Dior, returned to her native Netherlands with her husband Laurens and their two children. Together, they created a home as stylish as their family – complete with mid-century modern-style furniture and a beige palette that will likely transcend color trends long into the future.
The couple already sparked excitement around their abode after sharing a digital tour with their followers. However, now, we have the chance to experience it firsthand for ourselves.
'Hosting our family home on Airbnb isn't just about sharing a space; it's an invitation to be a part of the warmth and memories Laurens and I have built here,' Romee says.
'I'm excited to welcome another family into our sanctuary and share the unique experience our home offers. Get ready to unwind and spend quality time together in a space that you can make all yours.'

As Romee mentions, the home is large enough to host a family of three guests across a primary suite with an expansive walk-in closet and a charming children’s bedroom.
The overnight stay also includes a personalized meet-and-greet with the couple, along with an intimate tour of the villa. In addition to their stay, guests will receive a snug winter ensemble from Romee's fashion brand, Naetur, everything we need for a cozy experience.
'Offering a luxurious experience for any family, the moment you step into our space, you will be greeted by a modern interior design - from cozy furnishings to tasteful artwork,' the model adds.' Every corner of our villa is designed to create an inviting ambiance for your stay.'
And, unsurprisingly, the luxury continues outside. Designed for 'ultimate relaxation', the yard comes complete with a swimming pool, jacuzzi, and a private gym.
We can request to book from 18 December at 9 am CET at Airbnb for $0 (yes, really). However, it's worth noting that guests are responsible for their travel to and from Pijnacker.
In the meantime, we're recreating her style with these Romee Strijd-inspired picks below.
