Grand Retreat in Redu

Large group stays in the Ardennes work best when there is enough space for everyone to disappear for a while and still come back together easily by evening, and this countryside holiday home near Redu is built exactly for that kind of rhythm. Sleeping up to 60 guests across 20 bedrooms, the property combines vast communal spaces with forests that make reunions, retreats, and multi-family gatherings feel relaxed rather than crowded. Most afternoons drift naturally between the garden, boules court, and nearby woodland trails while children spread out between the trampoline, sand pit, and open lawns surrounding the pond. Once the evenings cool down, the fireplaces and dining spaces quickly become the centre of the house after long hikes or kayaking trips nearby. The forest begins directly outside the house, with hiking and cycling routes crossing the Ardennes landscape in every direction. Dinant can be reached within roughly 36 minutes and is especially worth visiting for the Citadel overlooking the Meuse River and the historic centre connected by riverside cafés and boat cruises. Château de Vêves lies around 31 minutes away and remains one of Belgium’s most striking medieval castles, while the dramatic cliffs of the Needle of Chaleux can be reached within approximately 40 minutes for hiking and panoramic valley views. Guests looking for quieter scenery often head toward the Lesse River nearby for kayaking routes passing forests, limestone cliffs, and small riverside villages throughout the valley.
