Accommodation in the forges of Orval

Step into history at this beautifully restored, listed building in Orval, where the architect-owner has preserved its charm while adding modern comfort. Nestled beside the charcoal hall of the old forge, this family-friendly retreat features a furnished garden, ideal for morning tea or evening relaxation. The well-equipped kitchen invites you to start your day with a hearty breakfast before heading out to explore. Located in the heart of the Gaume region, known for its mild climate, the home is just 500 meters from the iconic Orval Abbey. From here, embark on scenic hiking, cycling, or mountain biking tours that wind through forests, past ponds, and even across the border into France. A tranquil pond separates the property from the abbey, adding to the serene atmosphere. After a day of adventure, unwind in the garden or explore nearby gems like Chameleux and Williers, or enjoy a local meal at La Galejade, Au Coup De Frein, or L'Orangerie du Pall. This is a stay where heritage meets nature, perfect for families and history lovers alike.
