“Very relaxing and private and peaceful.”
The elegant period house was exceptionally decorated, a feast for the eyes. We were able to check-in early and get going exploring Antwerp, so no time was lost. We did not have breakfast but the breakfast rooms were wonderful and interesting and the garden at the back of the house was lovely. It was a reasonable walk from the centre but close enough to walk home in the evening. The bathroom a good size and everything was very clean. Towels were fluffy, pillows were comfortable.

Characterful property, with individual styling in every room. Will make for a memorable experience. Beautiful, peaceful garden that you can see from the breakfast room and some bedrooms. Breakfast is unmissable! I appreciated the care and attention that went into every course and it was delicious and filling :) The host Lydia was so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you.

“Just the experience I was looking for”
Beautiful room with antique furniture, nice and warm, and bathroom with nice bathtub. The breakfast is absolutely phenomenal and worth everything you pay for it. I wanted to stay longer. Lydia also took time in the morning to show me the living room and the garden, and talk to me about her passion of art and antiques. She is a very friendly and beautiful person, and is always available for issues or questions.

“Luxurious overnight stay. Very good value for money. Excellent service.”
Exceptional accommodation decorating with great taste and attention to detail. Warm welcome. You felt at home immediately. If you like the out of the ordinary this is your place to stay in Antwerpen. It’s very calm too. Make sure not to miss the fabulous breakfast. You can taste and feel the passion and love for the job. I already recommended this B&B to my friends in Luxembourg.

“Lydia’s B&B is a hidden gem of beauty, warmth, and truly unforgettable moments.”
Sometimes you stumble on beauty and love in the most unexpected places. Visiting Lydia and her B&B was one of those moments. We stayed in the Angel Suite, and it was far beyond what the photos showed. The space, the hidden room, the garden outside, every detail was perfect. The room was spotless, and the bathroom was stunning. Lydia was kind when we met her, but at breakfast we discovered how special she truly is. Conversation with her felt natural and warm, something we didn’t know we needed. And the breakfast itself was unforgettable. The room filled with art and vintage treasures set the tone, and the food was the best I have ever had. Lydia makes everything herself, using family recipes and produce from their country home. The homemade jam was incredible, and course after course kept arriving. If you are offered in-room breakfast, say no and enjoy it in the living room. We loved every moment. Lydia and her B&B capture the heart of Antwerp, a true diamond with soul & heart.
