Discover Klein-Brabant at your own pace

Green polders, the glistening Scheldt river, picturesque villages and surprising sights. The perfect environment to relax and explore.

Hotel Essenza is located in the heart of Klein-Brabant, a surprisingly green region between the hustle and bustle of big cities. Here you will find peace, space and the beauty of the Flemish countryside.

The Scheldt river flows nearby, cycling and walking paths criss-cross the polders, and charming villages invite you to enjoy a terrace. This is the ideal base for those who want to escape the daily hustle and bustle.
