The Relaxing Hotel

Warm Interior Design

Hi beautiful! I put this old article about the lovely NEST hotel & Spa that may inspire you for your next staycation. Let's head to Namur in Belgium!

Are you looking for a haven of peace in Belgium where you can spend a (long) weekend? Reading in the sun with feet in the water and a view of the beautiful stone buildings of an old renovated farmhouse. Enjoying a breakfast made up of organic products from the region. Sleeping in a large tastefully decorated suite, with family or friends. At the NEST Hotel & Spa in Namur, everything is for relaxation.

You need a car to access this little gem located in a residential area. What a great surprise once you are in the property! Warm welcome by the small team and you immediately feel good. We are guided to our “garden view” suite with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dressing room, dining room, living room and modern kitchen. There is space, a very pleasant lighting, palette of light and soothing colors in contrast with the greenery of the garden.

In the evening, if you don’t want to cook, you can order food and dine in your suite. Or, drive to a restaurant in the center of Namur. During the day, I recommend a nice ride by e-bike that connects Namur to Dinant, along the Meuse river. The round trip is more or less 56 km and landscapes are beautiful. Then come back at the end of the day and simply enjoy your beautiful suite!

Un hôtel pour se détendre

Une décoration apaisante

Bonjour à tous! A nouveau à la une, cet ancien article sur le superbe NEST hotel & Spa qui peut-être vous inspirera pour votre prochaine escapade. Direction Namur, capitale de la Wallonie!

Vous recherchez en Belgique, un havre de paix où passer un long weekend? Bouquiner mollement au soleil, les pieds dans l’eau, avec vue sur de beaux bâtiments en pierre, d’une ancienne ferme entièrement rénovée. Déguster un petit déjeuner composés de produits bio de la région. Dormir dans une vaste suite décorée avec goût, en famille ou entre amis. Tout prête à la détente au NEST Hôtel & Spa, à Namur.

L’hôtel situé d’un quartier résidentiel, est un peu “difficile” d’accès la première fois. Mais quelle belle surprise une fois dans la propriété! L’accueil de la petite équipe est chaleureux : on s’y sent tout de suite bien. On nous guide vers notre suite “vue jardin” comprenant deux chambres, deux salles de bains, un dressing, une salle à manger, un salon et une cuisine moderne. De l’espace, un éclairage tamisé très agréable et une palette de couleurs claires et apaisantes, ponctuée par la verdure du jardin.

Le soir, si vous ne voulez pas cuisiner, vous pouvez commander des plats et dîner dans votre suite. Ou encore, conduire jusque dans un restaurant du centre de Namur. Dans la journée, je vous recommande une belle ballade en vélo électrique (ou non) qui relie Namur à Dinant, en longeant la Meuse. L’aller-retour correspond à plus ou moins 56 km, les paysages sont vraiment beaux. Puis rentrer en fin de journée, profiter de votre belle suite, tout simplement!

Strolling Around Bruges And Surroundings

A Huge Need for Beauty And Culture

At the beginning of spring, it was freezing cold and I walked for a long time in the historic center of Bruges without any real goal, just the huge need for beauty and culture. Cobbled streets, old buildings and the Reie river. Following the inspiration of the moment, I follow the narrow passage that opens onto an interior courtyard with a pretty garden. Continuing, near the canal, small bridge probably dating from the Middle Ages extremely curved and slippery. I observe the old stones steeped in history. And it’s off again to get lost in a maze of streets until nightfall. Walk, stroll and visit a museum!

In the city of chocolatiers, I finally tasted the famous chocolate (with hazelnuts) from Dominique Persoone, star chocolatier. Its chocolate is fine, subtle and tasty, without fuss: such a treat! I think the decor of his shop doesn’t represent well to the finesse of his creations. Close to the Ellis Gourmet Burger: very good burgers with quality meat. After many feasts (lololol), I finally head the Groeningemuseum to discover eminent Belgian painters over six centuries, starting with the Flemish masters Jan van Eyck (15th century) and Pieter Bruegel the Elder (16th century). The museum is not huge, but there are many major art works. A really exciting visit, collections absolutely to see!

The big breath of fresh air : on the way to Bruges, we made a detour through the landscape park of the Bulskampveld castle estate. The tour started with the Herb Garden (herbs that can be purchased from a vending machine; bring change). Then the Paths through the water: soothing landscape, even under a threatening sky. We continued into the nearby woods. Very pleasant walk without great difficulty, beneficial for both the mind and the body. As a reward for these 10 km walk: my first homemade ice cream of the season!
