The welcoming total at De Barrier in Houthalen-Helchteren features 10 charming rooms, each exuding welcome luxury. The rooms are romantic and handsomely decorated, perfect for your romantic 'homeymoon'. Go for a glass of bubbly or a coffee in the cosy lounge and on the terrace, overlooking the landscaped garden.

There is also the option of a wellness package, where you have access to the Carbon Sense City Spa, including relaxing body massage, just 15 minutes from the property.
Auberge du Pêcheur, Sint-Martens-Latem
Auberge du Pêcheur is located along a beautiful bend in the river Leie, both an oasis of peace and beauty and a place that the most famous Flemish painters loved to visit for its unique colours. A top location that pampers you gastronomically and lets you dream away in style on one of the many outdoor terraces. If your 'homeymoon' falls in winter, then after visiting top galleries and museums of international renown, you will enjoy that crackling open fire and a selection of those 500 quality wines. But in any season, you will especially cherish the unique view of the Lys, which invites you to the next boat trip. A colourful range of Vespas is waiting for you, but you may also like the golf course of the Royal Latem Golf Club.
Château De Mirwart, Mirwart (Saint-Hubert)
Located on a rock in the valley of the L' Homme, in the middle of the beautiful Ardennes landscape of the province of Luxembourg, this impressive castle could have come straight out of the enchanting atmosphere of old fairy tales and legends. As one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia, Mirwart offers you that magical touch you have so often longed for: more than 1,000 hectares of forests with the most beautiful deer in Western Europe, horses to take into the pristine nature, fairy-like hiking and cycling trails to forget the world for a full day. Unforgettable is also the way the rustic atmosphere of the luxurious suites turns into gastronomic pampering and is interspersed with the relaxing atmosphere of jacuzzis, hammam, sauna and spa, offered to you in the underground rooms of the old castle.
