Villa Copis
Belgian heritage manor with a warm, home-like feel. Think crystal chandeliers over parquet floors, hand-painted murals, and hosts who know every good restaurant in the area. Romantic and refined without being stiff.
Room Victoire is the only room with a soaking tub — specifically a large double bath with garden views. Worth requesting if you want that.
Why It Matters
Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels selected. A protected Flemish Heritage building — the villa, coach house, and interbellum ornamental garden all carry official heritage status. One of the very few quality lodging options in Borgloon, which pulls day-trippers from Brussels and Maastricht but has almost nowhere to stay overnight.
Villa Copis is a 1931 fruit-growers' villa turned 8-room boutique hotel in Borgloon, the quiet market town at the heart of Belgium's Haspengouw fruit belt. Owners Wim and Veerle bought it in 2016 and opened it in April 2018, keeping the heritage bones intact: decorative woodwork, crystal chandeliers, hand-painted murals, and marble-framed fireplaces in the ground-floor common spaces. Rooms are more modern with pale parquet and a white-and-grey palette, plus period touches like antique writing desks. The breakfast buffet alone — local charcuterie, homemade jams, Loonse stroop (a regional fruit syrup), eggs to order — is worth planning your morning around.

Double
Deluxe Room Victoire
The standout room if you want a bath. Victoire sits on the first floor and has a large soaking tub — big enough for two — with garden views. Molton Brown bath products included. Note: there are a few steps down into the room and a few more to reach the bathroom, so not ideal if mobility is a concern.
