Further details for this vacation house rental in Bruges (Brugge), Belgium

Central location in Bruges, easily accessible: Casa Deus is located in the historic centre of Bruges, in a quiet street at only 2 minutes' walk from the city centre. The holiday home can easily be reached by car (only 5 minutes by car from the motorway) and with public transport (5 minutes on foot from the station). Parking in the street and very close by.

Bruges: Bruges is a unique historic town. The town authorities have done the utmost to preserve the city’s medieval image. Of course not every stone in Bruges has come to us straight from the Middle Ages. The 19th century neogothic style is more present than you imagine. Because of these 19th century renovations some critics have put Bruges down as a fake medieval city. Nevertheless, the combination of old, not so old and new fascinates everyone who first sets foot in Bruges.

The best way to visit Bruges is to spend a few nights in a beautiful guesthouse or holiday home like Casa Deus. Later in the evening, when the hustle and bustle of tourism has subsided, Bruges regains its charming and quiet atmosphere of old times. A stroll through the tiny medieval streets can be an enchanting experience. Bruges is always beautiful, in summer as well as winter. If you’re lucky you will never forget the sight of Bruges on a snowy December or January day!

Parking:

There is very cheap and safe car park at only 600 m , or 5 min walking , at the railwaystation.

We advise tourists to park their cars in the car park Centrum-Station (railway station). This car park has a capacity of 1,500 cars, applies the lowest rate : € 2,50/24 h .

So Lovely

Review Submitted: January 6, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
I'm so happy that we had the privelage of staying in Case Dei. I went there with my boyfriend this past Christmas, stayed for 7 days and we had the most amazing time. I loved the unexpected, bright and modern bathroom and how charming the upstairs is. We enjoyed the roaring fire and cozy livingroom (which has cable and dvd that work!) ( and the wifi works perfectly in this house as well) and the outside courtyard area is lovely, even though it was a bit too cold to take advantage of in winter. Steven stopped by the morning after we arrived, exactly when he said he would, to make sure we had everything we needed and made himself available to us if we needed anything. He was so pleasant and nice. This house could not be any better located, it's like a 3 minute walk from the train station, close to grocery stores and shops and everything you'd want to see in Brugges is literally just around the corner from Casa Dei. The kitchen definitly has a mid evil feel ( like the rest of the house), but it has all the amenities that you need to cook with, we cooked every night we were there and saved so much money. I had a wonderful experience at Casa Dei and I was sad to leave, I hope I'm lucky enough to stay there again one day....Steven, thank you so much for sending me the Christmas present that I forgot at Casa Dei, that's so kind of you to ship all the way to America! I never leave reviews, but I just wanted reassure anyone that is thinking about renting this property, that you'll be so delighted if you stay here.
Owner's Response: Thank you Jessie, that's the kind of review that opens the heart of the owner. After all , even if I earn a nice "euro" by renting Casa dei , I want to have the feeling that people get quality for their money. By reading the last reviews , I feel comfortable about that. This is not a vacation rental like 12 in a dozen, but a typical medieval house in the centre of Bruges, with all modern facilities. I wonder if you were looking for something like this? Steven

Perfect

Review Submitted: December 24, 2011 Date of Stay: December 2011
Loved this little house. Very quaint and ideal if you are looking for something a bit different to a bland hotel room. Clean, comfortable and cosy with everything you need for a self accommodating trip to Bruges. The stairs up to the bedroom and bathroom look a bit daunting but after a couple of times up and down they are easy to manage and only add to the charm and fun of the place. Ideal location, very close to all the attractions in Bruges and I would definitely stay here again. I would absolutely recommend staying here to anybody looking for a property that enhances the whole Bruges experience. Absolutly charming
Owner's Response: This guest first mailed to thank me for her nice stay. Then I kindly asked her to write a review! I think she expresses what many guest experience , but only a few are writing down on a review. If you are looking for something "a bit different" , then you found Casa Dei in Bruges ! Steven, Brugge.

Charming is the Word!

Review Submitted: November 10, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
I stayed in this adorable little house for a week with my boyfriend in the fall. The location was amazing. Close to everything. 1/2 mile to the center of town, even less to the train station. Restaurant and pubs all around, but Westmeers itself was a quiet street, away from the hustle and bustle. You don't feel like such a tourist staying on this street, it was wonderful.

The house itself is exactly what I wanted for my trip. Something quirky and completely authentic. The place makes you think about alllllllll the previous tenants because it seems to have changed so little over time, which is very cool, coming from California where all the buildings I have ever stayed in were built in the last few decades! The doorways are a crack up. Maybe about 5'6" clearance (great for photos!).

It was great to have a kitchen so that we didn't have to eat out every night. I highly recommend the rotisserie chicken from the market! Best chicken I have ever had in my life.

I rate it 5 stars solely based on the fact that the place is completely unique and I will look back fondly on my stay for as long as I still have my memories. Don't expect the Ritz! The place has its quirks. (Don't get stung by the cabinet over the toilet!!) ;)
Owner's Response: In summary
1. an amazing location
2.completely authentic
3.completely unique

As I am european, I don't realise the enormous difference American people must feel when they live in an authentic medieval almshouse .
If you are looking for something special, you have found it !

Loved it!

Review Submitted: October 10, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
We chose this house because we wanted to experience history. The house is quaint and lovely. Steven has provided the modern traveller all they need while respecting so much of the original character of the home. We stayed here with our baby quite easily and happily, as both a baby bed and a high chair were available to rent. The house is within walking distance to everything; the train station, the tourist information centre, the city centre, restaurants, small grocery stores and - every morning- fresh croissants or waffles! It is an excellent alternative to a hotel especially when traveling with a little one. This house allowed us to put the baby to sleep for a nap or for the night while we still able to enjoy sitting outside or watching t.v. without disturbing her. The city of Bruges is a wonderful treat for all the senses and Casa Deus is an ideal place from which to experience it.
Owner's Response: This is a good summary of what you can expect of Casa Dei
1.a house with history
2.the house is quaint and lovely
3.the house is within walking distance of anything a tourist needs
4.you can enjoy sitting outside

"Somewhere in Time"

Review Submitted: June 8, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
Stepping back into history John and I truly felt a part of historic Brugge spending our honeymoon in Casa Deus.... Quaint and picturesque, this little alms house is not a four star luxury hotel suite; it is far more... it is a TEN star opportunity to step back into 15th Century Brugge and live the fantasy..... clean and adorable... this little cottage has all the charm that any romantic could ever ask for. We walked around the corner every morning to Walplein and picked up fresh croissants to have with our coffee as the sun streamed into our little dream spot in Brugge..... the fireplace made for romantic evenings with a glass of wine and the quiet neighborhood with it's cobblestone walks and roadways is within walking distance to every thing in Brugge.
Yes; the stairway is steep and we are senior citizens..... so we backed down (no problem)....
I could feel the history around me in this little bit of a fairytale hobbit..... thank you Stephen for renting it and for keeping it authentic!

Owner's Response: These people clearly fell in love with Bruges and the picturesque alm's house Casa Dei. It seems for me that it is so characteristic, so different from another "standard" vacation rental , that most people adore it , and also, of course , some people do not like it.
But this description really goes to the core about choosing Casa Dei as a vacation rental. If you feel like this description equals to what you are looking for , don't hesitate any futher ,
Hope to see you in Bruges , Steven , Casa Dei
