The choice to spend the weekend in Chateau d'Hassonville was made by me after thorough research of photos and reviews of different chateaus in Belgium. I wanted something special as a birthday present for my husband. And my expectations didn't let me down. The atmosphere and the setting were very peaceful and romantic. The medieval 17th century castle, the lake and 55 hectares of vast land stir your imagination and senses. Once you get inside you can browse around its endless living-rooms decorated with a slight touch of those times (even the old carpets have a touch of history), walk up the wooden stairs to the rooms (each has its own fleur) or sit in the lounge or on the terrace overlooking the surroundings. We had a room on the 3rd floor with a garden view. It was rather small but very cosy. The colours in the interior were very soft and pleasant to the eye (even the bed cover had a pattern of mint, pale pink and peach that, to tell the truth, are my favourite). The wadrobe was hidden inside the wall in the place that once used to be a window that adds to its charm. There were also two small bottles of water (still and carbonated) which was nice and a jar with port wine for those who like it sweet. The bathroom didn't have a shower, only a bath, but if you want romance what can be better than a bath for two! In the evening we had a three-course dinner (you should book a table in advance) and it was splendid. The service was very good despite the fact that some waitresses don't speak English (only French) but they do their best to make you welcome. The dishes were made to perfection. Even though at first I was slightly disappointed by the fact that they ran out of baby lobster that we had ordered, we got a starter that was not on the menu based on our preferences and it was adorable. And, besides, we got drinks on the owner as a compensation due to that slight inconvenience. And the wine selection is very extensive.

In general the facilities met my expectations for this level of hotel.

We loved the charming atmosphere! Very kind staff and tasty breakfast.

Cleanliness, Friendly staff, Majestic Locations

It was a beautiful small property with character

Nice place and very friendly staff.

This year I stayed in around 20 different accomodations in about 9 countries and this has been one of the most special ones. The building itself has a rustic and very cozy decoration and the staff goes the extra mile to make your experience the best possible. Would absolutely repeat. Also relevant to mention, for breakfast there's an exquisite selection of cheeses and cured meats, good bread and local honey among other options. 10/10.

Beautiful building and room in a quiet part of the center of Rochefort, with all conveniences nearby. Very friendly reception and smooth communication. The sauna was wonderful.
