Our story

Where heritage
meets the sea

Dated 1902 and lovingly renovated in 2022, Villa Caroline blends century-old character with every modern comfort. Recognised as the most charming villa of the village in 2020, it sits at the heart of Sint-Idesbald — a short stroll from open, family-friendly beaches and the finest gastronomic spots on the Belgian coast.

Originally designed by Julien Dillens, student of sculptor Auguste Rodin, the villa was the very first house built in the dunes. The street now bears his name.

The architect

Julien Dillens,
student of Rodin

In 1902, Julien Dillens — sculptor and student of Auguste Rodin — designed this villa as the very first house in the dunes of Sint-Idesbald. His signature: two sail-shaped windows on the side of the building, now immortalised in the Villa Caroline logo.

He executed among others the monument at Everard 't Serclaes in Brussels, the Laurel at the Botanical Garden, and the statue of Bernard van Orley at Petit Sablon Square.

The house has known only three owners since Dillens. The current family has owned it since 2014 and renovated it with a passion for old bricks and modern living.
