What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The medieval farmhouse buildings conceal ultra-modern interiors… rooms, all unique, combine period architecture with contemporary design and contemporary art, resulting in living quarters that are timelessly stylish.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set across five hectares of permaculture gardens along the Dyle in rural Loupoigne.
The rooms
Contemporary art sits against medieval stone walls, and the individual layouts stretch up to a two-hundred-square-meter loft.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool
The indoor pool sits beneath timber roof trusses in a high stone barn, warmed to 29 degrees.
Restaurant
Elements
Chefs Milena and Norman source over seventy-five percent of ingredients from the gardens and greenhouse within 150 meters.
At the table
Guests gather at the tiled counter with cowhide stools for homemade aperitifs and natural wines.
How it began
Tech entrepreneur Philippe Brawerman bought the medieval farm twenty years ago, starting with an organic vegetable plot before restoring the stone buildings.
