THE STORY: You’re sure to wake up on the right side of the bed at Mañana Mañana! This perfectly adorable guest house located in the southern part of Antwerp only has four bedrooms, but they are all luminous and equipped with rough stone walls, charmingly timeworn hardwood floors, seventies light fixtures and a few plants here and there, plus comfortable bathrooms. In addition to these incredible bedrooms, you’ll find a coffee shop run by very friendly staff on the ground floor, filled with regulars and tourists alike, who gather early in the morning for some java and a bite to eat before hitting the road… Is this the new auberge espagnole? Double rooms starting at €91 a night. // Mado Réassouet
