A LITTLE CORNER OF PARADISE HERE ON EARTH 

Where dining is divine and the night's rest heavenly

No imposing entrance or red carpet waits you here. No clue that behind the centuries-old-frontage on Oude Houtlei an ancient monastery: PoortAckere. An oasis of peace, hidden away from the bustle of the city. Once inside you find yourself in a former nunnery whose history dates back to 1278. The building that turned its back on the world for so many centuries now reveals its secrets to a few favoured guests. The atmosphere is serene and restful, as befits an age-old neogothic building. Yet PoortAckere retains its unique character, as a medieval monastery with its own history. 

Welcome,
