“Perfect as a base to explore Bruges and visit the WW1 battlefields.”

The oldest brick building in Bruges, with a wood carving by a Napoleonic soldier, tiny Flemish primitives, and great decor. Beautiful rooms and a lovely breakfast made by Frederick. Great location.

“We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this magnificent property.”

Fabulous authentic and loving restoration of this 15th century property, originally the childhood home - and now a unique B & B - of the most wonderful host, Frederik. Stepping into the property is like being transported back in time, every detail of decor and furnishings perfectly curated. The room was immaculate and extremely comfortable and breakfast was superb. Frederik is an extremely engaging host and a font of both local and historical knowledge.

“Fredrik is an excellent host. Breakfast is prepared by him and there are plenty of options including freshly squeezed or”

It was a heritage property and very unique. Loved staying here. The rooms were excellent, comfortable beds and great shower

Brilliant location in the heart of the city. Hospitality was unbelievable, we were well looked after by Frederik and the building and rooms were amazing and timeless.

“the most amazing way to experience Bruges in a very authentic way. Most recomended.”

Frederik has turned this place into an incredible authentic and ecletic home stay with an incredible attention of details. The breakfast set up looks like a Vermeer painting, everywhere are disposed well curated objects and furniture creating the most amazing design conversations and setup. We immediatly feel like being in a home and not an hotel. Above eveything staying at De Zomere is an experience one will not forhet.

“Perfect stay in every way”

Incredible interiors and history. Truly unique stay and every detail has been considered. Frederick is an amazing host and shared lots with us about Brugge, the history of the house & the work he put into remodelling it. The breakfast is exceptional. We will stay no where else next time we visit Brugge!

“Outstanding place. Host Frederick was superb. Visit is a must😉”

A hidden gem❤️ It is the tardis of Bruges

“Absolutely recommended romantic B&B”

Historic impressive B&B right in Bruges center. Very romantic. Great host who can tell you all the history of the house and the area .

“Beautiful B&B”

We stayed at De Zomere for 4 nights and had an incredible experience from start to finish. Our host, Frederik, was welcoming and helpful as soon as we got through the door and continued to look after us over the next few days. He gave us fantastic tips and local knowledge about the property and Bruges itself throughout our stay, which really made our trip special. The B&B is an incredible building that we feel lucky to have stayed in. The breakfast was amazing, particularly the orange juice, and our room was very comfortable, spacious and suited us perfectly. It’s in an ideal location in the centre of Bruges but feels tucked away and quiet from the busy main square. It’s also a great location for exploring the quieter parts of Bruges, which we loved doing. PS - we loved meeting the cat, Nouk!

“Would come back again”

It’s like staying at a mansion or a museum, it is perfect in any case. Frederik, the owner and manager is friendly and willing to help in any way. The building has a substantial history itself which you can feel in each room and corner of the building. In walking distance to nice restaurants, beer pubs and canals

“When I come again to Brugge I m definitely staying again at De Zomere”

The owner Frederik is an incredibly nice and helpful person , who makes the whole experience feeling like being at home. The location is very convenient to walk through the sites in the historical centre and ist at the same time very peaceful and quite. The rooms are beautiful , spacious and elegant , the breakfast great. There is absolutely nothing to complain about

“Lovely place to stay. A little gem in the heart of Bruges! Frederik is an amazing host!”

Everything about the property. Such a beautiful place!

“We loved our stay at De Zomere. We only wished we hadn’t booked two nights is Ghent, and could have stayed at De Zomere”

Amazing property - we felt part of history staying there. Architecturally interesting, and it come with personal history with Frederick acting as your guide.

“De Zomere was a wonderful place to stay we hope we can return soon”

This guest house was an absolute delight to stay at. It’s tucked away in a quiet spot, yet less than a two minute stroll from the square. From the moment we arrived, Frederik made us feel completely at home. He is a truly wonderful host. The accommodation itself is exceptional. Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The standout feature has to be the incredible stove/fire in the breakfast area. This guest house is a real gem, and Frederik’s warmth and hospitality elevate the experience even further. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

We were invited into a home and a beautiful one at that. Each space is a curated slice of history that sets the tone of a trip to the city. The breakfast was fantastic and the coffee strong. The Central location is more than convenient and makes shore you can enjoy every minute. The host is a kind and considerate man with good humour and history at his fingertips. A very comfy bed x 10 stars x

“Great stay, great host, comfy bed and perfect location. What more could you ask for !”

Location was great, breakfast delicious! I particularly liked the dedication in using such fine detailing in the decor around the B&B and in our room. Things repurposed for example light fittings, artwork on walls, locally sourced items, upcycled pieces. I felt everything was really well considered and clearly comes from a natural engineer mind. Very friendly and passionate about the B&B and the history and about Brugge itself. nothing was too much trouble. The bed was soooo comfortable. Big shower, and good room size in general.

“Nice and historical place in the very center of Brugge. Very good breakfast.”

The host was very friendly and gave useful tips for visiting Brugge. I arrived by (race)bike, which got a safe place from the owner.

“Excellent location, great building, very friendly and knowledgeable host.”

Loved the experience. Beautiful and unique property with wonderfully kind and attentive guests. Would stay here in heartbeat if in Ghent again.

“FABULOUS host, incredible stay - would highly recommend”

Incredible place to stay in Bruges. The host is magnificent. He grew up in the house and has renovated it to a high standard. His attention to detail is fantastic. There is space to store bags ahead of and post checkout, and he is only too happy to give recommendations on the area. Breakfast was fantastic including freshly squeezed OJ, eggs and bacon, pastries, cereal - everything fresh and with great attention to detail. Rooms were fabulous - so comfy and lots of space. One thing is there is a lot of stairs so would not suit someone that can't navigate a spiral staircase. I left my heavy bag on the ground floor storage area and just carried up a few bits whereas my family all had their bags upstairs. This is a truly unique fabulous place to stay and we would highly recommend it.
