Apartment Onze-Lieve-Vrouw (OLV) - 3 bedrooms - 1st floor

Already in the 14th century, 'De Drie Koningen' was one of the 'guest houses' where visitors could stay overnight. Since 1995 this tradition of hospitality can be found here again.

Today you will find 6 spacious and very comfortable holiday homes at this location, named 'De Drie Koningen'. They all have the same level of comfort with a spacious living room, fitted kitchen, 1 to 2 bathrooms with bath or walk-in shower, 1 to 4 bedrooms, etc ... They are spread over 3 buildings:

Twijnstraat 13: the building dates from the 14th century. The medieval aspect has unfortunately disappeared because it was thoroughly renovated in 1839 in the spirit of that time: a large mansion in neoclassical style. In 1997 the building was divided into 3 apartments: St-Donaas on the ground floor, St-Niklaas on the first floor and St-Jacob on the second floor. In 2002, the basement "De Vergulde Fontein" was completely excavated. The history of 'De Drie Koningen' came to light and one of the most beautiful 14th century cellars in Bruges was finally exposed. In this magnificent cellar you can attend now beer tastings, small events and Argentinian tango classes. From 2016 onwards, the apartments were once again renovated one by one in order to comply with the imposed safety regulations and the contemporary wishes of the visitors.

Twijnstraat 17: was originally part of a former notary's house from the 17th century in the Ridderstraat. At the beginning of the 20th century it became a private hospital with a doctor's practice until 1999. During the renovation in 2001 all outbuildings were demolished and a patio was created. This beautifully enclosed communal city garden (including a small swimming pool) gives access to 3 different apartments: "St-Jan" on the ground floor, "Onze-Lieve-Vrouw" above the former coach house and "Carmers" on the second floor. From 2017 onwards, the apartments were renovated for the last time.

A 'home away from home' for a pleasant holiday with friends or family.
The apartment 'OLV' or 'Onze-Lieve-Vrouw' is located on the first floor, above the former coach house at the back of the garden of Twijnstraat 17 and with a view of Ridderstraat. It is a duplex apartment with the living area downstairs (dining and sitting area) and 3 bedrooms (2 queen-size beds and 2 single beds) and 3 bathrooms en suite (1 with bath/shower and 2 with walk-in showers).
There is a toilet on each floor. The separate kitchen contains all modern comforts: induction hob, dishwasher, fridge with freezer compartment, microwave and oven.
The 'vide' is typical in this apartment, which means that this apartment has a 6-meter high living room. It also has a special asset: a large terrace where visitors can enjoy the sun and have a beautiful view of the inner garden.

Great time
The property was in a great location. Easy access to the main square where there were abundance of restaurants. The accommodations at night were extremely quiet. The host was very responsive and friendly. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Family Break long weekend
Fantastic location, close enough to everything, property and everything that we had asked for exactly as described. Tight, steep initial staircase needs co0nsidering foe infirm or pushchairs but doable. Excellent communications and nothing seems too much trouble. Highly likely to return

Great Location
Very good location close to the market square. The apartment is spacious. The owner was very helpful with restaurant reservations. Not a negative for us but there are narrow stairs to the apartment and stairs inside the apartment to the upper bedrooms. We would recommend.

Beautiful, spacious and great location
This is a fantastic apartment with lots of space and original features. The balcony was big and got a lot of sun in the afternoon where we enjoyed a few drinks from the honestly bar. The location was amazing, so close to all the sights and you can hear the bell chime of the Belfry throughout the day. Bruges itself is a beautiful place, with a great history, beers and food to explore!

Matched the owner's description extremely well. Very comfortable and spacious. Perfect for our needs
A lovely apartment. Lots of space and very clean in a peaceful area. We particularly enjoyed the terrace and the enclosed garden with pool. Two bathrooms and two toilets suited us well (a family of 5, with 3 teens). Beer in reception area and bakery delivery worked well. A lovely owner, Nico gave us a warm welcome and was on-hand with good advice when needed. No oven so may not suit serious foodies, but did have microwave and ceramic hob. We managed to self-cater comfortably - there were enough pans etc to cook what we wanted. Would highly recommend. We had a thoroughly relaxing and comfortable stay (the beds are good!).

Perfect for Brilliant Bruges weekend
The apartment we had (Onze-Lieve-Vrouw) has a huge living room that comfortably accommodates a dining table that could seat a dozen people. The kitchen is quite small and has no oven other than a microwave, but is otherwise very well equipped, with doors to the terrace that overlooks the internal courtyard garden and pool. Dealing with Nico before we arrived was excellent. He responded quickly to queries, and the online information centre he sends a link to makes sure you get to the right place easily, and know what to expect when there. It is a great idea, replicated with the provision of an ipad on arrival that stores the same info. The ipad offers other services too, none the least useful of which is to order breakfast items for delivery from a nearby patisserie. As you enter through the impressive old doorway you first see the honour bar. Extensively stocked with an impressive array of Belgian beers, wines and soft drinks. All at prices only marginally above the supermarket. I'd noticed HomeAway had sent an invoice that was higher than the original price Nico had confirmed, so he sorted it within minutes and left us a message on the ipad to that effect. Our only slight concern (as the couple occupying the downstairs bedroom) was the noise of footsteps on the staircase and upstairs laminated floors. Not a big issue though compared to all the advantages of staying here - principally that you are 2 minutes stroll from restaurants that lead you to the main square - Grote Markt - within 5 minutes. Fabulous location, yet still quiet. Not hugely impressed by the restaurants we tried, especially Bistro De Mosselkelder in Huidenvettersplein. I'd definitely say give it a miss - there is too much choice to risk getting the mediocre fare we had, with very overcooked 'Dover' sole that didn't look much like ones I've eaten before. Otherwise Burger & Burger in Philipstockstraat 2 minutes from the apartment had decent burgers and steaks, with friendly service. The food in Brasserie Vivaldi in Wijngaardstraat was very tasty, but my fillet steak was ruined by being cut lengthways down the middle, so it was cooked well done rather than medium. When I asked the excellent waiter we had why the chef might do that, he had no idea so asked the chef, whose reply was: "To cook it fast". My tip for the chef ? Cook it properly, not fast. De Drie Koningen is a perfect place for a Bruges weekend - location, service, proprietor and comfort all get top marks

Lovely apartment right in the heart of things.
We had a great stay in 'De Drie Koningen'.I was surprised how good the location was, as I had got the impression that it was a little further from the centre than it actually is.The accommodation was very spacious, clean & comfortable & had everything that we needed.The 'Honesty Bar' was fantastic & very good value..we've never seen anything like this before & it was a real highlight....great to come in at the end of the night & enjoy a beer in the comfort of the apartment. Nico is very helpful & accommodating & there is an iPad to use for each apartment...for information & communicating with Nico. Again, that was something different for us, but it works. There are lots of restaurants, bars & places to visit nearby, so all in all, it was just about the perfect place for us & ideal for 5 or 6 people.

A fantastic location and a beautiful flat. All around outstanding. The honor bar alowed you to get beverages 24/7 and was the same price as the grocery store without the hassle of carrying. A delivery bakery ws also fantastic.
