About this property

Relax in the former rectory "Sapristi.

Relax in our spacious, light-filled former rectory, “Sapristi,” located in a very quiet area just a 10-minute walk from the beach, the Venetian galleries, the Thermae Palace, and city centre Ostend.

The property is ideally located for exploring the Belgian coast. Bruges is very close by: 30 minutes by car, 45 minutes by bus and train. Visit Bruges and return to the tranquility of Ostend in the evening.

The home is very spacious and filled with natural light thanks to the tall windows and the open layout. The living room, sitting area, kitchen, and breakfast nook form a single open space on the ground floor.

The entire home has, of course, been lovingly furnished—and with sustainability in mind—entirely with recycled, upcycled, and vintage design furniture.

Wonderful Stay in a Beautifully Furnished Holiday Home

We had a great time during our stay in Oostend with a group of friends. The house was very well equipped and tastefully decorated – we immediately felt at home. The location was convenient both by car and on foot, and communication with the owner was smooth and easy. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!

Eine tolle Unterkunft. In der Nähe zur Strandpromenade (5 Minuten). Sehr ruhig gelegen. Tolle Einrichtung der Wohnung. Alles vorhanden, was man benötigt. Ein toller Ort für Familienaufenthalte. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. Es gibt nichts zu bemängeln. Volle Punktzahl von uns. Alle waren zufrieden.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Urlaub in einem außergewöhnlichen Haus. Die Zimmer sind groß, alles sauber. Parkplätze direkt vor dem Haus. Die Lage ist auch gut, 15 Gehminuten zum Strand. Und die Gastgeber sind immer erreichbar und helfen bei allem. Danke, wir kommen gerne wieder.

Wir haben zum zweiten Mal Urlaub in Sapiristi gemacht. Uns hat die Unterkunft wieder gut gefallen. Das Haus ist nicht von der Stange und sehr individuell und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Da das Wetter leider nicht ganz so mitgespielt hat, haben wir jedoch bei unseren jetzigen Aufenthalt gemerkt, dass die Lage für uns doch nicht ganz so optimal war. Bei schönem Wetter geht man gerne etwas länger zu Fuß, bei schlechterem Wetter eher nicht.

Pastorie

Ligt aan een rustig pleintje kort bij de zee, loopafstand 10 minuten. Centrum of naar de tram goed te lopen. Groot huis met uitstekende muziekinstallaties! We hebben genoten!

Fijn om te lezen dat jullie hebben genoten van jullie verblijf! Het pleintje is inderdaad een heerlijk rustige plek, en we heel fijn dat jullie de ligging zo prettig vonden – dicht bij zee, centrum én tram. En helemaal geweldig dat de muziekinstallatie in de smaak is gevallen! Hopelijk kunnen we jullie in de toekomst nog eens verwelkomen voor een nieuwe fijne vakantie. Tot dan wensen we jullie alvast veel mooie momenten toe!

Tolles Ferienhaus

Das Haus liegt ungefähr zehn Minuten vom Strand entfernt. Lage ist super! Zum Supermarkt/Bäcker jeweils ebenfalls zu Fuß zehn Minuten. Sehr angenehme Gegend! Wir haben als Familie mit erwachsenen Kindern und mittelgroßem Hund dort gemeinsam die Ostertage verbracht . Sehr empfehlenswert!!!

Die Lage ist wirklich ideal, um schnell zum Strand, zum Bäcker oder Supermarkt zu gelangen, und wir sind glücklich, dass Sie die Gegend so angenehm fanden. Es war uns eine Freude, Sie als Gäste zu haben, und wir würden uns sehr freuen, Sie eines Tages wieder begrüßen zu dürfen! Bis dahin wünschen wir Ihnen viele weitere schöne Familientage – ob zu Hause oder auf Reisen.

Wunderschöne, individuelle Unterkunft

Wir hatten ein paar wenige, aber sehr schöne Tage im Haus von Ilse und Dirk. Viel Platz, sehr schön und mit ausgesuchten Möbeln ausgestattet. Alles sauber und ordentlich. Zum Meer ist es noch ein Stück zu laufen, was uns aber nichts ausgemacht hat.
