Discover how it feels to live in a very quiet family home in a green environment near a cultural city and close to the coast.

Our house is situated 10 min driving to the touristic centre of Bruges, a Unesco World Heritage city : https://www.visitbruges.be/en . Very easy and practical with the bike (6km). Loppem have two good supermarkets, good foodshops and good places to eat. It is a green village with a nice park and famous castle. And so near to Bruges.
During the winter you have a lot of winter attractions, shopping facilities and a famous Christmas market. During the summer there are a lot of music festivals, open air activities, exhibitions…..
 Bruges is one of the popular touristic places to visit in Europe, with its interesting museums, romantic canals, historical buildings and many more.  The city has a great range of restaurants, bars, cafés, chocolate- and beershops, cinema, concerthalls, etc..
