The
Property - This beautiful castle is set in a large park on the edge of a
quiet village, situated in the region of Liege. The property has an entrance
hall, a vestibule, a large living room, a dining room, 2 additional living rooms
with satellite TV, a fully-equipped kitchen, 14 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 6
showers, a games room and a sauna. Outside is the large garden set in a park

makes a great base for a number of day trips in the surrounding area and is

Interesting Information - The Ardennes region derives its character from
its river valleys that consist of winding canyons reaching up to inspiringly
beautiful high green peaks. The property lies in close proximity to the historic
and picturesque towns of Spa, Stavelot and Malmédy. The town of Spa, famous for
its thermal waters (starting from about 15 euros for individual baths &
treatments), is also home to the oldest casino in the world, dating back to
1763. Stavelot is well known for its festivals, including its annual carnival
held on the 3rd weekend before Easter, as well as the theatre and music
festivals in July & August. Malmédy is recommended for its lively restaurants
and smart shops. The nearby Hautes Fagnes area accommodates Belgium’s highest
peak and makes for some great hiking.
Getting There - Brussels international airport. Hamoir train station is
15km away.

Region
History, nature and a lot of activities. Taste the past by taking a trip to
one of the castles (like the castle of Modave and Jehay), take a look inside the
churches, in a charming old village or admire the most famous stalactitecaves of
Remouchamps.
Enjoy the nature in a very varying landscape: extensive fields, forest valleys,
sloping mountain ridges and wild rockery, rivers which run between woods and
rocks and the famous sources (like Spa or Chaudfontaine).
And of course the waterfalls of Coo and the nature reservation De Hoge Venen
with the peat puddles, forests and the heath. And it is also a marvellous area
for a sportive holiday; rafting, strolling, fishing, horseback-riding and even
skiing. This region is full of surprises!
