Forest Lagoon

Holiday Rental Description

A six-minute drive from the medieval town of Durbuy, where cobbled streets and traditional stone houses have stood the test of time, this home offers slightly more modern luxuries. You'll be welcomed by lush greenery and forests surrounding the red brickwork of this fantastic villa (as long as you don’t get lost on your visit to The Labyrinth of Barvaux-sur-Ourthe, nine minutes away).

Rustic interiors invite you into the lounge, where chunky beams and exposed stonework create a charming, old-world vibe. In contrast to the modern corner sofa, the wood-burning fireplace looks wonderfully vintage, as well as being a perfect spot to cosy up with a glass of pinot noir. And from here, you can see through huge glass doors to your private garden.

On sunny afternoons, grill some fresh, local fare on the barbecue and serve up on the patio – you might have to call the kids a few times for dinner if they’re busy in the playground. For an after-dinner treat for all, there’s a hidden surprise in the outhouse. Beneath a striking wooden, apex ceiling, your heated pool awaits. Splash around with a cocktail by the poolside, then head into the sauna after the little ones have retired to the bunk beds.
