Nestled in the heart of Ghent, this home caught our eye with its romantic living area and the stunning dome above the staircase. The fireplace beckons you on colder evenings and creates a romantic atmosphere – perfect for trying Belgian beer. Having the kitchen in the open-plan living space may dissuade you from experimenting with anything pungent, but at least you can keep the designated cook company as they prepare dinner. From your doorstep, you're just a short stroll from historic sites, restaurants and bars, while the River Leie is only five minutes away.

Home truths:
*If you are driving, there's a multistorey car park nearby here.
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the bedroom and bathroom.
