帕奎雷特茲別墅飯店

Wij logeerden in de studio. Een ruime plek met keukenfaciliteiten. Tijdens de laatste hete septemberdagen werd het daar wel behoorlijk warm, maar Bart had - heel attent - de vensters opengezet zodra de wind wat verkoeling bracht. Het ontbijt was super: met lokale producten-met-een-verhaal. En toen ik bij het uitchecken een paar spullen op de kamer vergat, werden die mij nagestuurd. Wat een service, bedankt Bart!

Décor sobre et très frais genre IKEA, cage d'escalier lumineuse, salle de petit déjeuner agréable, service professionnel, plusieurs miroirs dans la chambre, le parking bon marché. Suite aux commentaires dithyrambiques, j'ai été attentive aussi! aux points négatifs : la raideur et l'étroitesse des escaliers, le rationnement du petit déjeuner, le matelas très dur, la poussière sur les miroirs et le tour de fenêtre, le vert de gris sur la boîte à mouchoirs en inox, le manque d'éclairage dans la salle de bains, le quartier un peu loin de tout, la difficulté à se parquer, le prix à mon avis un peu élevé pour un B and B en solo.

Location of this B&B is good, easy walking distance to the beachfront and to the center of town. The place doesn't offer parking, but can give you tips when and where to park. We spent quite some time trying to find street parking, and managed in the end, but it took some effort. Not the responsibility of the B&B to offer parking, but something to be aware of. Timing can be important in finding parking (Saturday afternoon turned out to be a poor choice of arriving). We were welcomed with a cup of coffee and a nice chat with the owner, a very good first impression and start of the stay. Our room/studio was at the top floor. The stairs are typical Dutch/Flemish steep and narrow. Not a problem for us, but another thing to be aware of, especially if you have heavy or bulky luggage. The room was spacious, modern, and had everything we needed. It also had a terrace with a nice view over the rooftops. Breakfast was excellent, freshly made and served every day by the owner. He also explained what everything was and where it was sourced, which added a nice touch. The owner also gave us tips of what to do and see in the area, and there is also a host of information in the common room of the B&B. Overall a very nice stay, and definitely recommended.
