Situated in the very heart of the “Bel Epoque” District of Ostend, our city by the sea, the “Villa Les Pâquerettes” lies in walking distance of the beach of course, but equally on merely a few hundred yards away from the Wellington racetrack, the Casino, the golf course, the swimming pool, the library, the KVO Versluys soccer stadium and the BCO basketball stadium. The posh boutiques and gastronomical highlights are only a few minutes away and the costal tram offers you a stop at a two hundred yards distance.

The “Bel Epoque” district was realized under the reign of our King Leopold II. Our residence was built in 1902 but has been recently totally and utterly renovated. The surrounding public domain has been restored to his former splendor in respect with the spirit and the style of the “fin de siècle”.

First and foremost, our guest house wants to be convivial, welcoming and comfortable. We wholeheartedly and cordially welcome our guests with an open mind, in a warm and hospitable fashion. We keep an open house by the sea side where eager spirits and out of the box  thoughts are welcome to collide under the Chatham House rules.

We offer you, for what we consider an excellent value for money ratio, comfortable lodgings, silent rooms, equipped with all contemporary facilities, a cozy lounge and a continental, sweet or salty breakfast, accompanied with local homemade specialties at a table of friends sprinkled with an overload of great spirits and mellow moods.

Ostend, at the creation of our district called the “Queen of the Seaside Cities” with her landmarks as the Thermae Palace, the Venetian Galleries, the Casino, sparkles again through an impressive number of events such as the Theatre by the Sea, the Film festival, the weekly horse derby, and so on, and so forth.

We actively monitor for you the well-furnished events calendar of  our city by the sea and  keep ourselves available for any information or suggestions if and when required.

Our bed and breakfast is a strictly no smoking hostel. However, the garden offers the possibility for the tobacco amateur to enjoy his guilty pleasure.

Our first and foremost standard being of course hospitability, we also value to the highest possible level yardsticks such as cordiality, hygiene,  open-mindedness and discretion. We truly want to excel in terms of service to the client and the full satisfaction of our hosts.

We anticipate your venue to our B&B with friendly and enthusiastic voluntarism in the sole perspective to serve at your pleasure and subsequently invite you to make a reservation by contacting us  by phone on our number +32 59 410 440 or by means of our website.

Looking forward to enjoy your company, we open house on April the 1st 2017.
