Villa Betty, 19th century Rijksmonument villa in Oud-West, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Villa Betty stands on nearly one hectare of land with a tennis court, pond, and coach house behind two green gates at Overtoom 241.
The villa, constructed in 1878 for tobacco merchant Petrus Smithuysen, was sold to Eduard Lehmann who named it after his wife Clara Betty von Hunteln.
The interior features multiple design styles, including Dutch, Arabic, Chinese, English, and French Louis XVI rooms created by different architects.
The property remains hidden from public view, located approximately 100 meters from Overtoom street, next to a barber shop and delicatessen.
During World War II, resident Cornelius Ariëns Kappers saved 200 Jewish lives by creating falsified Aryan declarations within the villa walls.
