I'm sure you are all familiar with those glossy magazines that you find at posh hairdressers or in airport lounges. You know the ones: they contain recipes for the real foodies, tips for well-travelled people who like to stray off the beaten path and the latest unusual couture for the true fashionistas. These magazines also always have a feature on homes and houses and the places that are shown are usually absolutely stunning, with an incredible eye for detail.
Now imagine this: when you book yourself into Maison 12, you are effectively staying in a home that could easily feature in one of these glossy magazines!
Mia and Hendrik's home is just stunning, decorated with attention to detail (from the door handles to the light switches to the fire place!) and with so much love and care, you won't want to leave!
Location wise, you couldn't ask for a better place either, in a quiet street just behind the Vrijdagmarkt and within easy reach of shops and restaurants. The best that Ghent has to offer, right at your fingertips.
When it comes to hosting, Mia and Hendrik are fabulous and they go out of their way to make your stay completely memorable. We were also fortunate enough to be given a tour of their chocolate atelier, on the ground floor, and the passion and fire with which they speak of their "métier" is enough to light up greater Ghent. Needless to say that the breakfast they offer is something you will talk about to friends and family for a very long time.
This is without a doubt one of the top places to stay in Ghent and, quite possibly, in Belgium!
