I just returned from Bruges, where I stayed at the Clarissa. I was with my son and my sister . We were delighted with the cozy atmosphere and energy of Clarissa. The house is beautiful and well kept. We could cook our own food due to the well-equipped kitchen.
Clarissa is close to everything. Near the Market, shops, taverns and all the charm that the city of Bruges has to offer. We didn´t need a car. We can do everything on foot.
The heating works fine, and Noel, the caring and attentive host, even while on vacation in another country, by e-mail has taught us how to control the heating.
Clarissa even had a Christmas tree, which made us feel like home.
I recommend it to people of all ages, without the slightest concern.

My husband and our 2 children just spent a lovely half term break in Bruges. We were very happy with the house and quickly felt at home. The bedrooms are spacious and the bathroom very cosy. It was lovely to stay in such an old property which has so much of the original character retained. We found the location very convenient for the centre which was about a 10 minute walk away. The owner was friendly and helpful and instantly available to sort out any queries or problems. One point I would make was that the stairs are extremely steep (winding) and narrow and there is no guard rail - this was ok for us as our children are older but I think they would make the property unsuitable for very young children or in fact older people. Also (again a personal thing) only one thinnish pillow was provided per person so you may wish to request/take a spare. Bruges is a beautiful city with plenty to see and do - avoid the frite museum though as it is possibly the most boring place we have ever been to!

Two couples stayed comfortably in this charming old property close to the Markt. Rooms were very large and comfortably furnished. Kitchen had all the necessary equipment in full working order. The owner is most helpful and friendly. A place to which we will return.

We had a lovely time in Bruges, beautiful city in Belgium.The house is nice, big enough for 4, clean and well maintained. The owner even had Christmass tree for us. We were only a bit dissapointed that we couldn't use the fire place.

A great place to stay to see Bruges.Within walking distance of the town center and all attractions.The property was clean and well maintained and the owner was most helpfullI would recommend anybody to stay here.The only problem would be the stairs are very steep and an elderly or disabled person would have difficulty.

We just wanted to say what a lovely holiday we had in Bruges, and how impressed we were with "Clarissa" - the house was perfect. It had the decor and charm of the 17th century, but with 20th century comfort - we really appreciated being able to explore such a lovely city with all the comforts of home.

We will happily recommend the house to friends - we've already been raving to people about how lovely Bruges is. Thanks very much for making our stay so comfortable

The house itself was very comfortable but the one draw back are the stairs going to the bedrooms - they are very steep and we actually unpacked our suitcases down stairs as it was not easy getting them upstairs. this house would be great for the 25 - agile 55's but the stairs were quite daunting for us over 65's.It would not be a good house for young children.We walked every where which was wonderful - the house is very well equipped and we really enjoyed our stay there.It was surrounded by very nice restaurants and had easy access to a supermarket and pastisseries.
