Domaine de Ronchinne

THE STORY: Spread out over 42 hectares of verdant land in the heart of Wallonia, now in the hands of the Limited Editions Hotels group, the Domaine de Ronchinne truly leaves you spoilt for choice – which is a bit of an understatement! First there’s the Château, the former 19th-century residence of Princess Clémentine of Belgium, daughter of Leopold II, and her husband Victor Napoleon Bonaparte, with its beautiful rooms modernized to reflect today’s tastes. Then there’s the Écuries, the more rustic wood-clad stables, or the Maison du Jardinier, an old stone gardener’s residence with 26 rooms. And to finish, Les Insolites, where the accommodation options are each more unusual than the next and scattered all over the estate, such as the Faisanderies with their view of the valley, the old Carillon and its rooms in the attic, the tree-house cabin or the futuristic loft cube – which looks like it’s just landed from outer space! In short, wherever you sleep, you’re guaranteed a night to remember! Double room starting at €109 per night.

BREAKFAST: All-you-can-eat buffet for €18, with hot drinks, fruit juice, viennoiseries, cold cuts, cheeses, bread, jams, yogurt…

LITTLE LUXURY: Savor the peace and quiet while spending hours in the wellness area, which is just as fancy as the rest of the estate: heated swimming pool, hammam, sauna, massages of all kinds, Nordic bath…
