“10/10 - one of my favourite B&B's of all time!”
Lovely hosts and amazing breakfast, all homemade with lots of choice. Cheese from local farms and always served with a funny story about the cheese or cheesemaker. Very nice couple who helped us with bus tickets and general directions and advice for making the most of Ghent. I travelled with my 2 kids (13 and 10) and the room was more like an apartment. Very cosy and nice views over the garden. Would definitely return!

“Highly recommend!”
We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Emma. The surroundings are peaceful and picturesque, offering a perfect retreat. What amazed us was the convenience—it took us only about ten minutes to get to the downtown area by bus. Best of all, the host was exceptional. They were so welcoming and attentive, giving us great local tips and making sure we had everything we needed. We felt truly well taken care of.

“Lovely place that feels like 'home', only a short distance from Ghent”
Lovely stay with lots of personal touches from the hosts i.e. candy left on our pillows, superb breakfast presented beautifully, our room was incredibly well-equipped with a super complete minibar and everything else we could possibly need, we also loved the books/pens provided to keep our toddler busy! This really felt like being 'at home' :-)

“Charming stay, awesome breakfast”
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Emma. The room was both luxurious and charming at the same time. The bed was very comfortable. There were even board games and puzzles to play. The owners were very accommodating and professional. To cap off the stay, we were provided a sumptuous and delicious breakfast.
