"Rescued from ruins in 1937, the building is architecturally indulgent with baroque portico, rear facade and formal garden." Full review
Frommer's "One gloriously OTT period apartment after another, all richly decorated with fine furniture, marble Roman sculptures, and examples of Rubens’s exquisite portraiture, including one of Anthony van Dyck" Full review
The Guardian "Family home of Antwerp’s most famous artist, Peter Paul Rubens. There’s something compellingly transgressive about the way you’re allowed to let yourself into his historic, canvas-covered rooms"
