THE STORY: Who’s Alix? Your amazing friend who regularly invites you over to her lovely digs in Ghent! Remember now? It’s about time to see her again! In this carriage house with a Provence-like feel, located in the heart of the Arts district, three adorable bedrooms overlook the magnificent garden. The first one sees la vie en rouge (brick walls, a Berber rug, a walk-in shower), the second is a raw diamond (brick walls as well, an arched ceiling, a terrace), and the last one raises the bar even higher (a majestic bathtub, big bay windows, chic beige and khaki tones, a Togo sofa). All that in a bucolic setting where you can grab a snack and a drink in the garden, under the string lights… Double rooms starting at €135 a night. // Eddie Muffin

TOILETRIES: Likami soap, shampoo and body wash.

BREAKFAST: €20, including hot drinks, fresh juice, bread, homemade cake, yogurt, fresh fruit, granola and eggs upon request.

LITTLE LUXURY: The gigantic brunch served on the weekends (€35, kids €17), which you can savor in the restaurant or the garden, if the weather is nice!
