A romantic getaway in Brugge TEXT: ELLA PUT | PHOTOS: NUMBER 11
In the heart of the picturesque town of Brugge, guests from all over the world can enjoy the romantic atmosphere of the peaceful and exclusive guesthouse Number 11. As soon as you enter the beautiful 17th century building in which the exclusive guesthouse Number 11 is situated, you step into the scene of a romantic fairy tale. Candles are burning, crackling sounds are coming from the fireplace and whilst walking up the steps originating from old castles in France, the windows provide a magnificent view overlooking the historic town of Brugge. In the morning you wake up to the sound of cheering birds and the smell of freshly baked bread. It is no wonder that the charming guesthouse, which is known to be a popular location for wedding proposals, was used as a film set in the Oscar nominated film, In Bruges, featuring Ralph Fiennes and Colin Farrell.

covering the façade of Number 11, the bed and breakfast is also the perfect spot for scenic pictures. “In the summer, people line up outside just for a photo,” owner of the guesthouse Carine Deprez explains. However, Number 11 is more than just a pretty picture. Providing its guests with excellent service, Carine and her team are prepared to go the extra mile for their guests. From surprises such as a small
teddy bear with a welcome note on the bed, to an extensive continental breakfast buffet with fresh fruit and delicious juices, anything can be arranged. “We offer a calm atmosphere in which guests can really feel relaxed and spend time with each other. The other day, somebody wrote in our visitor’s book: ‘long live the power of love’. If Number 11 leaves people which such a feeling, I am very happy!”
