How do you transform an old convent house into a place that blends food, design, and inspiration. Without losing its character?
With Île en Ville, we didn’t just imagine it. We built it, from scratch, for ourselves.

Founded and designed in-house by Michele De Maertelaere, Île en Ville is La Movida’s most personal project. It brings together everything we believe in: elegant interiors, curated experiences, and meaningful design. Part restaurant, part interior design studio, part concept store — all seamlessly connected under one roof.

We created the concept, led the renovation, and designed every inch with intention. Natural materials, warm tones, and thoughtful layouts make the space feel refined yet welcoming — a place where creativity, conversation, and comfort flow naturally.

Île en Ville is more than a destination. It’s a living expression of who we are.

“Falling in love with the ruin of a 17th-century old beguinage was the ideal moment to unite all my passions”
