Offering a terrace and views of the garden, B&B Villa Emma is situated in Ghent, 3.2 km from Ghent Christmas Market. Free WiFi is provided throughout the property and free private parking is available on site.

This place was amazing. The Villa is extremely beautiful, taken care of every detail, shinning clean and with everything you need and more, much more! The owners are a very lovely couple which are very helpful. The breakfast is so PERFECT, not even in a 5-fork restaurant, really well presented, tasty and with fresh products of the region. For the cherry on the top: they contribute actively and very concretely to reduced the carbon footprint. Looking forward to visit the place again! :)

    Gorgeous hotel with lovely staff. The room was beautifully designed with great attention to detail. Nice variable lighting and the toiletries smelt divine, so much so that I purchased some to take home! The bed was very comfortable and bathrobes were available on request, which we did as the towels were a bit in the tiny side! The guide booklet provided by the hotel in the room was also really useful and another lovely touch.

    The hotel is very fresh and stylish. Free water, downstairs is a lovely bar & restaurant and a rooftop bar with a very nice view, a must visit. The rooms are quiet. Great location, 5 minutes walk from main sites. Room is big enough, but do not have a lot of storage space for clothes (there is a small open hanger near the entrance and no closet). Large bed, but I personally found it too soft and pillows too high and large. A perfect boutique hotel for a short stay/mid week.
