Ik hou met hart en ziel van jou


Explanation:
Native speaker also: heart and soul
'hart en ziel' is a bit more superlative than 'whole my heart' = heel mijn hart.

Ik hou van jou uit de grond van mijn hart.


Explanation:
Being a native speaker>> I feel that "de grond" comes closest to "the bottom".

Good luck.

disagree  Bram Poldervaart: 'uit de grond van mijn hart' is not a reinforcement but means 'I really mean it' combination with hou van jou is odd.

Ik hou zielsveel van je.


Explanation:
I think you would be more concise in Dutch to express you love somebody with all your heart..

As a native Dutch speaker I would say "Ik hou zielsveel van je."
