My husband Eric and I have always been passionate about historic properties, so it was no surprise that we fell in love with Manoir-du-Bolgaro, a 16th century Hispanic manor house in the heart of Flanders. Seven years of graft ensued - mostly our own! - to safeguard the building and restore it to the vision we had for it. Using a careful balance of authentic and modern materials, we have transformed it into an exceptionally comfortable place to stay that’s truly steeped in history.
