This twelfth-century chateau in the Belgian countryside is quite simply enormous. Not only does it sit within ten hectares of pretty private parkland, but it can also accommodate a whopping thirty-five guests across the building and its two wings. With all of this size to play around with, the host has ensured that every guest will find something that will appeal to them. The parquet flooring, original panelling, parquet flooring and open fireplaces mean that the living rooms are wonderful spots to do nothing more but relax, while the garden, courtyards and dining terrace also offer somewhere equally pleasant to sit and enjoy the sunshine. In addition to this, you'll find a recently built Finnish sauna in the home, plus a games room complete with a bar and billiards tables. If that gets you in the sporting mood, there's an all-weather tennis court on the grounds, as well as a private lake, which you can use for fishing, canoeing or even swimming. The closest town is Ciney, which takes about five minutes to reach in the car and has a handful of shops and restaurants. A little further afield, there's everything from caves, Roman ruins and outdoor activities to keep you occupied.

This home is managed by Oliver
