Once upon a time, in the heart of a charming city, nestled behind a large wooden double gate, a magical place awaited its guests. With just a personal code in hand, you’ll unlock this enchanted entrance, where the world outside fades away, and serenity takes over. The gate creaks open, inviting you to step onto a covered driveway, where time seems to stand still. Under the shade of the whitewashed ceiling and among the old wooden beams, the cobblestones beneath your feet tell stories of days long past.
As you pass through this timeless passage, you find yourself in a small, hidden city garden—a peaceful oasis, lush with greenery and brimming with privacy. In the far corner of the garden, a cozy terrace awaits, where you can sip your morning coffee or unwind with a glass of wine as the sun sets. The air smells of tranquility, and every corner offers a sense of quiet retreat.
To your left, you notice a striking black cast iron spiral staircase, curling its way upwards. This staircase, with its vintage charm, leads you directly to the first floor and to the entrance of your 42m² sanctuary. The apartment, once an old printing house from the second half of the 20th century, carries with it the essence of history, seamlessly blended with modern luxury.
Inside, high ceilings stretch to over three meters, filling the space with light and air. The industrial charm of the space, with its exposed beams and sleek design, is softened by cozy touches that make you feel right at home. The open kitchen, fully equipped with everything you could need—a fridge, induction stovetop, microwave, oven, and dishwasher—invites you to craft the perfect meal. Luxury dining ware sits ready for your most indulgent dinners, and every detail has been thoughtfully curated for your comfort.
The open living and dining area is designed with relaxation in mind: a comfy sofa, a TV with Netflix, and Bluetooth speakers to set the mood for any occasion. When it’s time to unwind, the luxurious bathroom offers both a bath and a shower, the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring the city.
The bedroom, with its queen-size bed and hotel-quality duvet cover, promises restful nights. When you look out the window, the calming beauty of the garden greets you, while the distant view of the Saint Rumbold’s Tower and the Beguinage Church add a touch of history to the peaceful surroundings.
And if you’re lucky enough to visit in 2026 and beyond, your stay will be even more magical. You’ll have access to a private indoor swimming spa, an infrared sauna, and a wellness area, ensuring that your stay is not just a getaway, but a full retreat for your body and soul.
This is not just a place to stay, it’s an experience. A storybook escape, where the modern world meets timeless elegance, and where every moment is filled with comfort and charm. Welcome to your home away from home. Welcome to your fairy tale.
