Amato Brugge, Bruges, Belgium - Explore & Book

"Bruges is a medieval maze of small streets, pedestrian-only cut-throughs and architectural delights, ringed by water. Much of it is the same today as it was back then, and Amato Brugge is one of those ancient delights still standing proud, a home-from-home in a building that was once the Sint Niklaas hospital, dating back as far as the 14th century. Now its 3 bedrooms offer some of the finest views of Bruges’ famous bell tower, along with warm and friendly hospitality from the owners, Stijn and Kristoff. Stay here for the location in the heart of Bruges, and for the guesthouse's chic style, intimate setting and warm welcome. The owners, who have a restaurant background and speak good English, are happy to chat over afternoon cake and chocolates, or to help you plan your day over a homemade breakfast in their new dining room. It's a great space to hole up after a long day admiring architecture and negotiating cobbled streets, and a wonderfully romantic bolthole for long weekends in beautiful Bruges.
