A place to relax

We had a lovely stay! Wim was a great host, and we really enjoyed the tranquility of the property. The hot tub and sauna were wonderful, and the garden really pleasant. Bedding and towels provided which was really useful. It was a nice walk into the local village of Ursel with a number of cafes. We had ribs and steak in La Belle Vue, washed down with local beer; it was delicious! Ghent and Bruge are a short drive away. We really enjoyed our stay!

The property is exactly as described. The pictures don’t do it justice…. It is gorgeous and well maintained. The host was very responsive and we felt so welcome. Great location. Many wonderful restaurants just a few miles away. Great for relaxing and day trips to Bruges and Ghent.

Brilliant weekend getaway!

Whether alone, with spouse, or with your kids- it’s a great spot. Location was very nice to go to multiple cities and do a day. The play set outside was great for the toddler to play and within visual of the house and hot tub. Friendly deer were the highlight. My kids loved feeding them while I soaked on the sauna. Kitchen stocked with fruit, juice and even champagne. It was the warmest welcome and we so appreciated the thought. Have already recommended to friends making a quick weekend down from the Netherlands.

Awesome place!

Very cool place. Easy to use pellet fireplace, sauna and hot tub. New kitchen and stove. Great place to relax in a quiet neighborhood. The place opens up to the backyard and to nature. Washer and dryer. Can't really see the neighbors and it is nice and peaceful. Owner is super cool and it is about 25 min to Bruges.

The perfect holiday getaway

We really enjoyed La Dolce Vita! It was four of us and a big dog and there was plenty of room for all of us. The hot tub and sauna are in excellent condition and having them available to us the whole time was so nice. La Dolce Vita is pretty private, with neighbors that we couldn't really hear or see. The grounds also has deer and chickens, which was truly magical for our holiday. The kitchen is stocked well enough with dishes and cookware and the pellet stove works great. We would highly recommend planning a getaway here.

Words cannot describe the feeling of relaxation you can achieve at this beautiful property.

Mid way thru our 16 day Euro vacation, we stayed at La Dolce Vita because I knew my family would need a few days of relaxation. The hot tub and sauna were greatly appreciated as was the huge lush green lawn and beautiful plants and trees all around. For an entire day of oyr stay, we literally did nothing but hang out on the giant bean bags on the shady lawn, watching the trees sway back and forth in the bright blue sky above. There are the cutest little pet deer here at La Dolce Vita that you can't help but smile at first thing in the morning when you open the windows, or when you pull into the driveway and they give you a tail wagging greeting. We even collected a few fresh eggs for breakfast during our stay. Beautiful big red hens, thinking New Hampshire Reds, we're also a pleasure to watch and feed. And there rooster dude didn't wake me up once (wish I could say as much of our own chickens). A beautiful TV set up in the front room, that we didn't even use. That likely added to our relaxing time. :-) The town of Ursel closes early so be sure to grab groceries before 7pm. That was a shocker!! We ended up driving 20 minutes to Eeklo, awesome town, to get groceries there. We liked Eeklo so much we went the following day to get pictures of the big steepled church, and get some fries, ice cream and beer. La Dolce Vita is positioned about 40 minutes from Bruges and 45-50 from Ghent. And about an hour from the surprisingly captivating Sanctuary Wood WW1/Hill 62 tour, I think in Flanders. So great location with an easy drive to the top tourist destinations (the few we visited) and then home to your quiet country paradise. And I must add, the very cool and unique craftsmanship of La Dolce Vita is a real treat. Bold colored ceilings, fun lighting and accent lights outside, awesome bathroom design, and green roof to admire while laying on the lawn. The amazing Sauna and cold tub a must after a day of walking around Ghent. And such a pleasure walking around the grounds to check our the different flowers, bushes/shrubs and trees. I may just be a plant geek. We hope to return again next year to La Dolce Vita as BelgIium was our favorite place on our Euro vacay. If you are even considering a stay here at La Dolce Vita, JUST DO IT! You will not be disappointed.

La Dolce Vita is indeed the perfect hideaway. Located peacefully in the woods between Brügge and Gent, it is perfect for short trips to the sea or to a historic city. The stove brings a lovely warmth especially in the cold season. The chalet is cozy, very well equipped and tastefully decorated. The Nespresso machine including lots of different capsules was a big plus. The owner was really nice and helpful. And last but not least enjoying a spa day in the Jacuzzi and sauna made the weekend the perfect getaway from the city.

Sehr schön und einsam gelegenes Ferienhaus. Wir hatten gutes Wetter mit bestellt. Das ist leider nicht gelungen. Als Koch freut man sich wenn eine gute Kücheneinrichtung vorhanden ist. Diese hier war überdurchschnittlich gut. Heizung, Whirlpool und Sauna war alles gut funktionieren Vorhanden. Kann Haus uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Heerlijk rustig genieten

We hebben een heerlijke week gehad. We hebben genoten van de grote tuin. Lekker tennissen of voetballen, kijken naar en voeren van de hertjes, verschillende vogels en eekhoorntjes ontdekken, de jacuzzi en de sauna. In het nabijgelegen bos kun je heerlijk rustig wandelen. Het huisje is van alles voorzien en de bedden liggen echt goed! Het contact met Wim verliep heel prettig. Het was voor ons het eerste bezoek, maar het zou zomaar kunnen dat we hier nog eens terug komen.

Ein Traum von einem Ferienhaus

Mitten im Wald gelegen, 25 Minuten bis Brügge, 35 Minuten bis Gent, ein wirklich tolles Ferienhaus. Ein großes , eingezäuntes Grundstück, ein perfekt eingerichteter Holzbungalow, eine große Sauna, ein phantastischer Jacuzzi und supernette Gastgeber.

Wim ist ein überaus freundlicher, unkomplizierter Vermieter. Die Lage des Objekts ist ideal. Brügge und Gent sind schnell erreichbar, bis ins Zentrum von Brüssel haben wir genau 1 Std. gebraucht. Seit 10 Jahren buchen wir Ferienhäuser in der Bretagne, Normandie, Nord-Pas-de-Calais und jetzt in Belgien. Dieses Haus gehört def. zu den Top 3!
