Read More...We had a fantastic holiday in Aartselaar. There was so much to see and do in the area, not just in Antwerp but further afield and the house is well-positioned for trips to other parts of Belgium. We particularly enjoyed exploring the area by bike, burning off all the calories we gained from the Belgian beer, chocolate, waffles and frites! The house was very comfortable and well-equipped, and the neighbours were very friendly and helpful. Our children (7 and 4) really enjoyed themselves. We met Kris and Veerla and their children when they came over to London and they are a lovely family. They looked after our home very well. Highly recommended as a destination and a Homelink exchange partner.
