Apartment St-Jan - 4 bedrooms - ground 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 St-Jan with its 175 m2 is the largest apartment of 'De Drie Koningen'. It was last renovated in 2018. It is a duplex apartment with a spacious living room with dining and sitting area and an open kitchen on the ground floor. The kitchen with cooking island contains every comfort: induction hob, fridge with freezer compartment, oven and microwave, dishwasher, ... In the summer you can fully enjoy this apartment because it has direct access to a terrace adjoining the communal courtyard with swimming pool. On the second floor there are 4 bedrooms (2 queen-size beds and 2x2 single beds) and 2 bathrooms: one with a walk-in shower and one with a bath and a walk-in shower.

Fabulous
We rented the St. Jans Apartment (2 floors, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths). It was comfortable, roomy, quiet, great value and no more than 5 minutes from the historical centre of Bruges (Markt Square). Owners were great - we will be telling our friends about this place.

Mooie lokatie, fijne woning, plezierige gastheer
Eigenlijk hebben we aan deze titel niets toe te voegen. Toch maar een poging.
Het appartement ligt (letterlijk) op steenworp afstand van het centrum van deze prachtige stad. We hadden een 8-persoons gedeelte (St. Jan) dat bestond uit 4 slaapkamers, 2 badkamers op de eerste verdieping en een ruime woonkamer/keuken op de begane grond. Het was allemaal netjes en goed verzorgd met lekkere bedden.
Erg leuk (en praktisch) vonden we de "bierkelder": een lokaaltje achter de voordeur waar een Belgie-waardig assortiment bieren tegen zeer redelijke prijzen ter beschikking stonden van de gasten. En eerlijk: we hebben er enkelen geproefd! Zeer plezant...
We huurden twee garages in de onmiddelijke nabijheid voor onze beide auto's en hadden daar dus de gehele vakantie geen ommekijken meer naar.
In de ruime tuin, compleet met tuinset, hadden we de beschikking over een leuk zwembad. Hoewel november hebben we toch een duik gewaagd. Onmenselijk koud maar een waardevolle inleiding voor een Belgische pint uit de kelder.
Kortom, een erg leuke lokatie in de onmiddelijke nabijheid van al het schoons van Brugge, een erg fijne woning, ruim, schoon en praktisch en een plezierige gastheer.
We zullen hier nog wel weer terug komen.
