Romantic holiday homes in the Ardennes

Why the Ardennes for a romantic weekend?

The Ardennes combine nature and tranquillity in a way few Belgian regions can match. No busy boulevards, no tourist crowds, but narrow forest paths and villages where life moves at a different pace. A walk along the Ourthe, a visit to a local cheesemaker or dinner in an old inn: experiences that deepen your time together. The Ardennes are also easy to reach from Brussels, Liège and Antwerp, which makes them ideal for a long weekend.

What will you find in these homes?

The homes in this selection are chosen for their atmosphere and privacy. You will usually find a fireplace or wood stove, a comfortable double bed and a terrace or garden that is not overlooked. Some homes offer extras such as a hot tub, a sauna or a bath for two. The setting is quiet, with few neighbours. The owners are often attentive and prepare little touches for couples looking to get away for a while.

Tips for your romantic weekend in the Ardennes

• Book your restaurant table in advance, especially on busy weekends. The best tables in Durbuy and La Roche fill up early.
• Leave the car behind if you want to walk. Many homes open straight onto a trail, so you are in nature from the front door.
• Check whether firewood comes with the fireplace or wood stove. Some owners ask a small contribution.
• Bring a good bottle of wine yourself. Not every area has a wine shop nearby, and the best evenings start with a good glass by the fire.
