The house with the stepped gable
A bright upper floor, spacious and full of character. The ceilings are high and the beautiful beams are visible.
What appeals to me personally is the way in which old and new reinforce each other. The beamed ceiling in the living room and the lovely terrace — private, quiet, and spacious — in the middle of the city but far away from everything. In addition, it is nice when an apartment has its own entrance; this gives it much more the feeling of a whole house than an apartment.
De Nieuwe Spiegelstraat is a lively street that connects the canals, with many great restaurants and cafés in the immediate vicinity, such as Buffet van Odette, Soep, and of course Café De Heuvel.

Gianni and Gessica have a clear vision for the future of Casa del Gusto. 'We want to remain a small company that works with small-scale farmers: that is our concept.

That is almost nothing compared to large industrial producers who deliver hundreds of pieces a day. What we find very important is that you get to know the producers through the taste of our salamis, pastas and beers.' You should be able to taste the love that the farmers have put into it', explains Gessica. From hazelnut paste and gnocchi to bottarga and aloe vera beauty products: the shop is full of delicious delicacies and beautiful products. Casa del Gusto is, as the name suggests, a house of taste for its customers.
