ABOUT US
Meet your host!
Hello, I'm Tom, and I'd like to introduce you to the heart and soul behind De Drie Koningen, where unforgettable holiday experiences come to life. At De Drie Koningen, we're more than just a holiday rental provider; we're a family-driven team committed to making your stay in Bruges truly special.
My journey with De Drie Koningen is deeply rooted in my love for this charming city. I live here with my wonderful wife, Lore, and our two sons, Theo and Maurice. Bruges has been my home for as long as I can remember, and I couldn't imagine a better place to raise my family.
The story of De Drie Koningen dates back to 1995 when I was just 5 years old. My parents, who have always had an adventurous spirit, purchased the building next to our family home at Twijnstraat 13. With unwavering dedication, they embarked on a transformative renovation project, giving birth to our very first holiday rental, 'St-Donaas.' Little did we know, this humble beginning would lay the foundation for what De Drie Koningen is today.
As time passed, our passion for offering unique holiday experiences grew, and in 2001, when the opportunity arose, we seized it eagerly. The neighbors at Twijnstraat 17 decided to sell their house, and we couldn't resist the chance to expand our offerings. What was once just a hobby for my parents started to flourish and evolve.
While I pursued my academic journey, earning a master's degree in Economics, my career took me on a different path. I worked as a Business Automation Consultant for an MIS software company, traveling extensively and staying in numerous hotels and apartments around the world. These experiences ignited my imagination, filling my mind with countless ideas and inspirations.
However, life has a way of bringing unexpected changes, and in recent years, circumstances led me back to De Drie Koningen. The challenges posed by Covid-19, soaring gas prices, my father's approaching retirement, and a growing desire to channel my entrepreneurial spirit all played a part in my decision to immerse myself in the operational management of De Drie Koningen.
In 2023, I made the pivotal decision to take over the entire business. With a renewed vision and a commitment to preserving the legacy of quality and hospitality that De Drie Koningen is known for, I am thrilled to continue this remarkable journey with you.
Today, De Drie Koningen stands as a testament to our enduring dedication to providing you with unforgettable holiday experiences in Bruges. Our holiday rentals reflect our love for this city, and we look forward to sharing its magic with you.
Thank you for choosing De Drie Koningen, and we can't wait to be a part of your Bruges adventure.
