What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Lafarques, a lovely Anglo-Norman-style half-timbered house set in extensive grounds, is steeped in character and charm.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Across twenty hectares of wooded parkland in the Vesdre Valley, surrounded by private pastures.
The rooms
Oak parquet floors run through just eight rooms, each fitted with deep bathtubs and windows looking onto the park.
The saunas and baths
A glass-fronted indoor sauna with curved wooden loungers sits alongside an outdoor sauna and a Finnish Nordic bath.
Restaurant Lafarques
Chef Olivier Tucki serves seasonal menus beside multi-pane windows that look out across the wooded grounds.
How it began
Verviers wool industrialists built the manor in 1927, and it operated as a girls' boarding school before becoming an inn.
