GuestReady - Doctor House Gardens

Welcome to my house!

Step into a piece of Horta's history and experience a stay in the former residence of the island's first doctor. Blending historical charm with modern comfort, this welcoming apartment offers everything you need for a relaxing getaway.

The bright open-plan living area combines a fully equipped kitchen with a comfortable lounge. Prepare your favourite meals using the refrigerator, oven, microwave, and other essential appliances before settling into the cosy seating area to unwind with a movie or your favourite TV show.

The apartment features two inviting bedrooms designed to ensure a restful night's sleep. The master bedroom offers a comfortable double bed, bedside tables with reading lamps, and a cosy armchair—perfect for relaxing with a book after a day of exploring. The second bedroom includes two single beds and shares the same warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Outside, you'll discover a private garden that serves as a peaceful retreat. Surrounded by greenery and furnished with comfortable wooden seating, this charming courtyard is the ideal place to enjoy your morning coffee, an afternoon break, or a relaxing evening under the stars.

The space is always professionally cleaned for your comfort.

Enjoy your stay!

Guests have exclusive access to the ground floor apartment and its private garden. Enjoy the entire living space, including both bedrooms, the kitchen, and the courtyard.

I live close by and am happy to help whenever I'm around, but when I'm not, there is a 24/7 on-the-phone concierge service that can provide you assistance any time of the day.
