Region

Letting your home in Bruges.

Bruges draws visitors all year round: city breaks, culture, the Christmas market and business stays.

The city has strict rules for holiday homes. No new holiday homes are allowed in the historic centre. A property with a valid permit is therefore scarce, and good management gets the most out of it.

The Rozenhoedkaai and the Belfry in Bruges

The region

A city that draws guests all year round.

The historic centre

The Markt, the Belfry, the Rozenhoedkaai and the Beguinage. Guests want to reach everything on foot and pay for character and location.

Around the centre

Sint-Andries, Sint-Kruis and Assebroek. Quieter, with more space and parking, yet within cycling distance of the centre.

Zeebrugge and the polders

The beach, the port and the polder landscape towards Damme. In the Zeebrugge beach district, different conditions apply than in the rest of Bruges.

Who books here

City-break visitors from Belgium and abroad, couples, culture lovers and business travellers. Guests from abroad often book well in advance.

Seasons

Demand in every season. Peaks in summer, around the Christmas market and during major events such as the Procession of the Holy Blood on Ascension Day.

Which homes

Characterful townhouses and flats with a valid permit, and larger homes around the city. Location, atmosphere and a smooth arrival make the difference here.

What we do

What we do for your home in Bruges.

  1. 01

    The permit first

    In Bruges an environmental permit is almost always required. Before we start, we check what applies to your property.

  2. 02

    Making the most of peaks

    Weekends, the Christmas period and events bring peaks. We follow demand day by day and adjust price and minimum stay.

  3. 03

    Arriving without a key

    A smart lock with a code per stay. Guests get in whenever their train arrives, with no key handover in the busy centre.

  4. 04

    Peace for the neighbours

    We keep an eye on who books and enforce the house rules, including clear agreements on noise and rubbish.

  5. 05

    Quick turnovers

    In the city, stays follow each other quickly. Our cleaning team works with a fixed checklist and a photo check after every clean.

Before you start

Bruges has a stop on new holiday homes in the historic centre. Outside the centre, strict planning conditions apply and an environmental permit is almost always required. Since 2025 the city has been checking more strictly and acts immediately against letting without a permit. We check for each property what is allowed, before you invest. Registration with Toerisme Vlaanderen, fire safety and insurance are part of the onboarding.
