Nuit Blanche is PHENOMENAL! A true gem within a fairytale town. We had the most memorable stay in David's 15th century art studio/house, still can't believe this place exists (and also sad I have to tell more people about it)! Our group of 3 booked 2 rooms, which meant we had the whole place to ourselves. Breakfast involved culinary works of art and coffee was just as excellent. The location was just right that it isn't too close to the busy parts of Bruges, but also a quick walk to all the busy part of Bruges. Dvid himself is the most gracious host - everything we needed, he could help us with. We arrived as strangers but left as friends. Can't wait to go back!!!

Very beautiful location. Everything about this guest house made us feel like we walked into a midieval fairy tale.

Sarah Netherlands

This may be the coolest building in Bruges. We loved sitting out in the garden and enjoying a beer every afternoon. David is the best host one could ask for. He was so hospitable and provided lots of useful information and recommendations in Bruges. We loved staying in such a unique place with so much character and history. The breakfasts were also delicious and a work of art!

Megan United States of America

The breakfast, the host, the location, the house - all amazing. David was so friendly and helpful. A lovely place to stay in Bruges.

Elizabeth United States of America

Exceptional service and location. The 15th century guesthouse was amazing.

Miwa United States of America

This place is AMAZING!! The location is perfect with a spectator view! The owner, David, certainly made us feel like royalty during our short stay. From his beautiful, unique artwork display throughout the home, the peaceful music playing in the background, and one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever meet wondering the marvelous garden, it is MAGICAL!! The magnificent breakfast was not only delicious but the presentation was a work of art. I especially loved the homemade chocolate yogurt and geranium infused water. This was definitely the highlight of our 2 week European vacation!

Marsha United States of America

It’s a charming, medieval, lovely & quiet guest house. The owner, Dave, was very pleasant, helpful, and a Great Breakfast Chef! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Daniel United States of America

The guest house is like a cottage from the storybook. The location is perfect. The host David was super nice. Breakfast was marvelous. And the cat was the cutest thing ever. You cannot find another nicer place than this one.

Yiwen United States of America

High score for Bruges

Stay in the heart of Bruges

With its medieval garden and uniquely authentic interior, this exceptional guest house offers an extraordinary experience of Bruges, right on the Gruuthuse Canal.

Cross the charming Bonifacius Bridge to reach this wonderful residence, where you will be welcomed by the artist David de Graef and his family. Among other illustrious guests, Belgium’s royal couple Albert and Paola enjoyed their stay here during their honeymoon.

This Nuit Blanche provides you with grand accommodations, furnished to echo the past and give you a real sense of historical Bruges. Take in the medieval atmosphere of the Lune the Miel room or add a gothic touch to your stay in the Pasionara room.

Start your day with a rich breakfast and marvel at the view of the Church of Our Lady. Seemingly plucked straight from a Jan Van Eyck painting, the residence and its garden offer a peaceful and inspiring environment for your break.

This is our guests' favorite part of Bruges, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 10.0 for a two-person trip.

Guest House Nuit Blanche has been welcoming Booking.com guests since Jul 23, 2008

  • Hi! How far of a walk is it from the bus station? Also is English spoken here?
    Dear travelers, the nearest by bus stop is around the corner (public busses grid). This might however not answer your question, since you maybe refer to the private bus line stop, which is near the rail station, at a 20 minutes beautiful walk through Bruges most romantic quarter. Warm regards, David
    Answered on 29 December 2019
  • Hi can you offer twin rooms instead of doubles please?
    Thank you for your interest, Nuit Blanche's master bedroom has a king size bed and a single bed which we prepare when we host 3 travellers. On request we prepare this bed configuration for two persons without charges. Kind regards David

I am a painter who used to live on the country side. When I discovered that the most romantic spot of Belgiums most beautiful city -Bruges- was for sale, I decided to buy this unique historic heritage and share it with travelers. This medieval mansion was built when Columbus stil had to discover Amerika. I love to help my guests discovering Bruges' hidden secrets, Nuit Blanche's hearty gourmet breakfast " according to the host's mood", is served as a courses menu in my art studio or in your room.
