Beautiful, elegant and spacious house
Françoise uit Paris (FR) schreef in August 2025 op AirBnB :
We had a wonderful stay with the whole family (10 people) in this beautiful, elegant, and spacious house, which is exceptionally well-equipped both inside and out. We thoroughly enjoyed the huge terrace, the swimming pool, and the expansive garden. We had pleasant interactions with the people who maintain the house and the pool, and they didn't rush us when it was time to leave. Kudos to Filip for this beautiful accommodation.
We will definitely be back!
Floriane uit Alsace (FR) schreef in August 2021 op Livre d'or :
The house is situated in an extremely quiet and relaxing environment. This old barn has been renovated with great taste and high-quality materials. The kitchen is very well equipped; nothing is missing. The garden is very large and everything is there: a swimming pool, playground equipment for the children, a large lawn to play on, shade under the trees, a barbecue for grilling... The rooms remain cool, despite the heat outside. In short, everything was perfect. Thank you for everything.
Tasteful interior and well-maintained estate
Johan uit Wingene (BE) schreef in September 2023 op Facebook :
Very beautiful country house in a stunning location. Tasteful interior with a touch from hostess Ann. Host Filip ensures that the estate is always well maintained, including the swimming pool, where there is plenty of room to swim a few laps. The surroundings are ideal for walking or a vigorous bike ride. The price/quality ratio is more than okay. In short, a little paradise to catch your breath for a moment. A top location!
