THE UNIQUE STORY, AS TOLD BY THE HOMEOWNER
Peace, quiet and nature: this is what vacation home La Dolina promises. In the beautiful Ardennes, this chalet takes you into the woods, where you can enjoy a relaxing time with family or friends.
The owners built the house all by themselves. And they did so with great care for the environment and the surrounding nature. The chalet has a heat pump, a ventilation system and floor heating. You do not have to compromise on comfort and the beauty of it is that with your stay you also contribute to a better world.
Going out together also means eating together, cooking together and trying out new recipes. This is perfectly possible in the contemporary kitchen, where all modern equipment is available to let you live it up. After a nice lunch or dinner you can relax by the stove or admire the sunset from the large terrace.
After a wonderful day in nature you can enjoy a warm bath or a refreshing shower in one of the two bathrooms. Afterwards you will sleep like a log in one of the three bedrooms with a total of space for eight people. For the littlest dreamers there are cribs available.
The spacious, fenced garden is ideal for those traveling with pets and children. An adventurous climbing frame entertains young and old. And the many squirrels nearby are sure to provide a fun encounter.
There is also plenty to do outside. You can explore this beautiful, hilly region along the various mapped out walking and cycling routes. You can walk from Barvaux to Durbuy, or discover the impressive waterfalls of Aywaille. Daredevils sail down the Ourthe in a kayak, or they fly on a zipline through the nearby Durbuy adventure park.
In La Dolina every season has its charm. From the blissful warmth of summer and green walks in spring to the falling autumn leaves and white winter scenes. Is it snowing in the winter? Then be sure to visit the ski and cross-country ski slopes. They are less than 25 kilometers away.
