B&B Villa Emma

10/10 - one of my favourite B&B's of all time!

Pros: Lovely hosts and amazing breakfast, all homemade with lots of choice. Cheese from local farms and always served with a funny story about the cheese or cheesemaker. Very nice couple who helped us with bus tickets and general directions and advice for making the most of Ghent. I travelled with my 2 kids (13 and 10) and the room was more like an apartment. Very cosy and nice views over the garden. Would definitely return!

Cons: It was all really nice and high quality. However, you aren't in the middle of town but you could walk there at a push and there is a bus nearby..Easy parking too and I was happy to not move my car for the whole stay and just walk and take the bus. Other than location (which I knew when I booked), it was perfect ♡

Pros: We really enjoyed our stay. The hosts are incredibly kind and welcoming, and they made us feel at home right away. Breakfast was fantastic — fresh, tasty, and a real highlight of our mornings. The house is beautiful and full of charm.

Cons: The room can get quite cold when the temperature outside drops, and we weren’t able to turn on the heater ourselves during the night.

Restful, comfortable stay at a lovely home in an attractive and peaceful suburb.

Pros: A beautiful house full of character, warm and comfortable. As others have pointed out, an exceptional breakfast service with wonderful food. Friendly helpful hosts.

Cons: One small item: While it was possible to use the coffee maker to get boiling water, a separate electric kettle would have been useful.

Highly recommend!

Pros: We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Emma. The surroundings are peaceful and picturesque, offering a perfect retreat. What amazed us was the convenience—it took us only about ten minutes to get to the downtown area by bus. Best of all, the host was exceptional. They were so welcoming and attentive, giving us great local tips and making sure we had everything we needed. We felt truly well taken care of.

Exceptional.

Pros: Extraordinary bijou. Very personal Hosts, extremely friendly and well organized. The breakfast was delicious and served individually. CO2 footprint was covered by a regional program.

Lovely place that feels like 'home', only a short distance from Ghent

Pros: Lovely stay with lots of personal touches from the hosts i.e. candy left on our pillows, superb breakfast presented beautifully, our room was incredibly well-equipped with a super complete minibar and everything else we could possibly need, we also loved the books/pens provided to keep our toddler busy! This really felt like being 'at home' :-)

Cons: The rooms felt quite cold at night (the heating turns off automatically, as we heard from the hosts). This would not have been an issue for me and my husband as we stayed well covered under the duvet but this was not possible to control for our 2-year-old son. He already had a bit of a cold when we arrived at the property and the low temperature in his room made things worse. I believe the hosts would have accommodated if I had let them know in advance, unfortunately I realised the issue too late.

Amazing villa with a beautiful garden

Pros: This lovely family owned B&B is a perfect hideaway with an amazing garden surrounding this villa. Our host were very kind and the special breakfast was an excellent surprise for Easter :) The area and location is also very lovely.

Cons: Nothing to mention.

Great weekend in Ghent

Pros: Beautifully furnished house in wonderful gardens. Very helpful hosts and a superb breakfast

Beautiful, period property just outside the city

Pros: Beautiful home just outside Ghent Easy to get the bus to the city Kind and very helpful hosts - they could not have been more welcoming!

Cons: Nothing really This is a period property so if you're after modern city living, it's not for you. But we loved it

It was a wonderful, relaxing break

Pros: Georges and Hilda were amazing hosts. We were really well looked after. Breakfast was fantastic with so many courses!! The location was great with a bus close by into the centre of Ghent and the city is beautiful with so much to do.
