Antwerp
Above a bistro in a house that you might swear was 18th century, four superb apartments have been installed by owner-chef Patrick Van Hereck. They have lots of revealed beamwork, super-comfy beds and a whole kitchen-lounge area with a sofa that can be used as an extra double.
Don't miss the unforgettable brick-floored wine bar in the genuinely old cellar. Rates include breakfast.
