Our properties in the Hesbaye

Hesbaye, known in Dutch as Haspengouw, is the region between Tongeren, Sint-Truiden and Borgloon and one of Belgium's best-kept secrets. The gently rolling landscape, dotted with apple and pear orchards, is reminiscent of Tuscany or the Normandy bocage. Every spring the whole region turns white and pink for the orchard blossom, a spectacle that draws more visitors year after year.

Tongeren, the oldest town in Belgium with its Gallo-Roman wall and renowned Gallo-Roman Museum, lies like a historical jewel at the heart of Hesbaye. Borgloon is known for its fruit wines and small wine cellars. Alden Biesen, the imposing castle estate of the Teutonic Order, is worth the trip. The region is also home to organic fruit farms where you buy directly from the grower.

Holiday homes in Hesbaye are often authentic Limburg farmhouses or converted farm buildings, with large gardens and wide views over the orchards. It is an ideal destination for anyone seeking peace, fond of walking or cycling, and keen to enjoy a genuine slice of Belgian country life still largely untouched by mass tourism.
