You don't have to do anything here. You can just be.
What makes NIEL 71 Suite special
A house with a soul, not a hotel
This is not a room in a row of rooms. It is our house, with a suite included — built with as much love as a home deserves. You feel the difference the moment you step inside.
Handmade ceramics, everywhere
What you touch in the suite — tableware, small details — is handmade by Dominique herself, in her studio nearby. Not art to look at, but objects to truly live with.
Fresh sourdough bread, every morning
In the morning, the house smells of freshly baked sourdough bread, carefully prepared for breakfast. On some Saturdays, you can get your hands dirty during a simple sourdough workshop — without rushing, just learning how it's done.
In the heart of the living landscape of Haspengouw
No scenery, but real nature right on your doorstep. Horses, miniature donkeys, and goats live peacefully in the meadows surrounding the house — a rhythm you can experience here anew every morning.
Sincere, personal hospitality
No protocol, no reception desk. Dominique and Marco welcome you themselves, with genuine attention — and withdraw just as sincerely as soon as you want time for each other.
Privacy without sacrificing warmth
A private sauna, a private terrace, a garden — all to yourself. Peace and space, without the chill.
Slowing down as an attitude to life
