We spent an autumn week with great pleasure at ‘La Chevalerie’ in Somme-Leuze. The house is located on a beautiful, quiet location, looking out over a valley, and towards the village of Somme-Leuze. A great viewpoint, both from the beautiful green garden, as well as from the house, especially from one of the bedrooms (if you opened the curtains in the morning in that room, you had a really fantastic view, even from your bed, a wonderful way to wake up 😊). Beautiful green hills and forests surround the house everywhere. This is a great place to settle down/relax and escape the busy daily life. La Chevalerie is located on a quiet hilltop with fields around, (pleasantly) private (the closest house is a couple of minutes away by car) which is nice, has plenty of room to park cars and a large garden, and is largely at ground level (except for the cellar). The house is clean and well maintained, spacious (we spent the week with 7 people there but there was room for more). Before booking - we did read some older reviews, some of them (not all) quite negative, but still decided to take a chance (these reviews were from a couple of years back), luckily this turned out well for us because these problems have been resolved in the meantime, our experience was that the house is clean and well maintained. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. La Chevalerie has 2 bathrooms, one smaller one with a shower and a toilet, and one really large bathroom, with a large marble bath (which our kids enjoyed). Our kids also loved the cellar, where they amused themselves especially with table tennis (there was also a table soccer table, shuffleboard (sjoelbak) and a simple air hockey table and other things for kids to play). The house is located close to the regional hubs of Durbuy (very charming!) and Marche-en-Famenne with plenty of shops and opportunities for activities. But it is also surrounded by nice and beautiful areas for hikes/walks, which we enjoyed very much. While we were there, a problem occurred with the shower, but after calling the renting agency, it was almost immediately fixed by the contractor who works for the owner, he came by, was very helpful and friendly, and solved the issue almost immediately, so that was also very positive. As mentioned, the house is wonderful for a relaxing week, especially in good company, with family or friends. For those with a busy life, it is an excellent place to settle down and relax. I would very much recommend La Chevale
