Everelmus Boutique B&B

A Piece of Bruges History Reinterpreted

The Everelmus Boutique B&B is a carefully restored townhouse from the early 18th century that preserves its historic soul while being revitalised with contemporary comfort. Located directly on the romantic Dijver—one of the most picturesque spots in the historic centre—Everelmus combines the charm of past centuries with the aspiration of a luxurious retreat. Here, the authenticity of a UNESCO World Heritage Site meets the intimacy of a private boutique B&B.

Architecture & Design

Behind the classic Bruges brick façade lies an interior that masterfully conducts a delicate dialogue between past and present. Original oak parquet has been preserved, wall tiles from the 18th century have been meticulously restored, and historic wallpapers recall the era’s great craftsmanship. At the same time, carefully placed modern design elements provide timeless elegance.
The light-flooded salon with views of the Dijver invites you to linger, while the walled city garden forms a green oasis of calm in the middle of the old town—perfect for a glass of wine in the evening or breakfast in the morning sun.

Rooms & Suites

Everelmus offers four individually designed rooms, named after the pigments of the Flemish Primitives—a subtle homage to Bruges’ rich art history:

• Kermes – A warm, deep-red refuge with a freestanding oval tub in the generous bathroom.
• Malachite – Natural green tones and an exposed wooden roof structure create a cosy, historic atmosphere.
• Azzurro – A light-filled garden pavilion with access to the green inner courtyard—ideal for guests who value tranquillity and privacy.
• Orpimento – Bright yellow hues, high ceilings, and views of the iconic Bruges belfry.

All rooms are appointed with the finest linens by Valerie Barkowski, custom-made beds, noble natural materials, and luxurious bathrooms. Modern amenities such as air conditioning, minibar, flat-screen TV, and complimentary Wi-Fi complete the experience.

Culinary Delights

The day at Everelmus begins with a lovingly prepared breakfast of regional products: crusty homemade breads, Belgian cheeses, fresh fruit, and house-made delicacies. In fine weather it is served in the idyllic garden; in the cooler months, in the elegant salon—accompanied by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. In the afternoon, a stylish tea-time offering invites you to relaxed moments of indulgence.

The Everelmus Experience

A stay at the Everelmus Boutique B&B is more than just an overnight—it is an encounter with the soul of Bruges. The hosts create an atmosphere in which you immediately feel welcome and are happy to share personal recommendations for restaurants, hidden lanes, and cultural highlights. The central yet quiet location allows you to explore the city’s most beautiful sights on foot—from the Market Square to the Beguinage and the small, little-known museums.

Here, historic authenticity, aesthetic sensitivity, and modern comfort merge into an experience that lingers long in the memory.
