Zalig in Antwerpen

Zalig in Antwerpen are two holiday homes in the historic part of the Belgian city on the Scheldt river. In the old townhouses, exposed brick walls, old oak wood ceilings and original tiled floors set a contrast to floors and fixtures with a tadelakt-like coating, steel elements and natural materials.

The house at Leuwenstraat 9 is perfect for a stay of up to ten people. On the ground floor, which once housed a popular Volkscafé, you will find the holiday home’s dining room and open kitchen. The bistro-like decor – small tables lined up next to each other, a long bench and a kitchen that looks like a bar counter – has the flair of a restaurant. The third floor living room, with a gas fireplace and built-in sofas, has a relaxed club atmosphere. The bedrooms on the first and second floors are fitted with a double bed each, as well as bunk beds dating to the original townhouse, and sleep up to four people. There is another bedroom for two people under the roof.

Up to 14 guests can be accommodated in the house at Lange Ridderstraat 77. On the ground floor, in addition to the kitchen and dining area, there is also a sitting area by the fireplace and a sleeping gallery for two people. On the first and second floor there are a total of four bedrooms – each with its own bathroom – in the typical Zalig style.

What to do

Sightseeing in the port, art and fashion in Antwerp’s centre.

Why we like this house

Historic charm meets industrial style and bohemian chic: an exciting mix right in the historic centre of Antwerp.

This house is great for

Big families and holidays with friends. The house can also be booked for events, workshops or meetings.

We have rented many houses via the Urlaubsarchitektur website and have never been disappointed. This beautiful house Zalig Antwerpen is no exception. It is well proportioned , stylishly decorated with a well fitted and modern kitchen. The beds are very comfortable and the en-suite facilities are excellent. The restaurants and cafes in the square at the end of the road were a delightful surprise. Delicious food and drinks with friendly service. Antwerpen is a beautiful city with many small restaurants, well worth researching before you go .This house is a hidden gem!

Ik heb onlangs in Zalig Antwerpen een kort maar fantastisch verblijf gehad! Het appartement is geweldig en ziet er mooi en sfeervol uit! Niet geschikt voor gasten die slecht ter been zijn want het is wel wat trappen lopen naar de woon- en slaapkamer. Voor energieke gasten geen enkel probleem en veel privacy. Als ik dan een klein minpunt moet noemen. Het is de bedoeling zelf het beddengoed erop te doen wat uiteraard geen moeite is maar het was wel wat lastiger bij de tweepersoons bedden. Het beddengoed is erg dun en stijf waardoor moeilijk om deze er snel omheen te krijgen. Maar als dit dan ook het enige minpunt is. Wij komen zeker nog een keer graag terug!

Heerlijk sfeervol huis met veel lekkere bedden/ruimte. Perfecte locatie in een geweldige leuke buurt met veel winkels en restaurants. Communicatie met Kathleen was geweldig. Ze was zeer behulpzaam. Enige wat mist is een raam wat open kan op beneden etage.

Das Ferienhaus von Kathleen lässt einfach keine Wünsche offen. Es ist super schön eingerichtet (wirklich genau wie auf den Bildern). Wir haben dort mit 8 Mädels ein verlängertes Wochenende verbracht und haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt. Das gesamte Haus war bei unserer Ankunft super sauber. Der Check-In hat problemlos mit einem Code an der Haustür funktioniert. Da wir mit einem Bulli angereist sind, habe ich Kathleen im Vorfeld um Tipps gebeten wo wir diesen parken können, da fast alle Parkhäuser in der Umgebung nicht hoch genug sind. Ich bekam super schnelle Antworten von ihr und einen richtig guten Tipp zum Parken. Wir konnten unseren Bulli das ganze Wochenende auf einem kostenfreien Parkplatz in ca. 400 Meter Entfernung zur Wohnung abstellen. Wichtig ist, das Auto online mit dem Nummernschild zu registrieren, da man sich in der Stadt in einer Low Emission Zone befindet. Das hat auch problemlos online geklappt. Unser Wochenende hätte nicht besser sein können :) Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Das Haus in der ´Lange Ridderstraat`, das zweite von Zalig in Antwerpen, hat unsere Gruppe von Freunden total begeistert. Sehr geschmackvolle Einrichtung, tolle Ausstattung und dann noch super zentral gelegen. So macht Reisen Spass! Wir kommen gerne wieder!
