A tropical haven in chilly Antwerp

26/11/2013

I recently stayed at the De Witte Nijl B & B in Antwerp. The hosts, Gino and Ivan, are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, and rooms were both comfortable and stylish - the whole house is decorated in an Stanley & Livingstone African theme. 

But for me the real star of the show were the exotic, tender houseplants and  "tropical" courtyard garden.

My photos don't do the garden justice, especially in the autumn, when trees and plants have lost their foliage and flowers are over. But if you need a place to stay in Antwerp next spring or summer, and enjoy eating breakfast listening to chirping canaries and enjoying the lush foliage of canna and ferns, then stay with Ivan and Gino.
