Hotel L'O de Vie

Northeast Belgium


Ideal for those with limited mobility, this reworked century-old mini-chateau is an accessible rural getaway with wide bedroom doors, lift, shower-bars and hospital-quality electric beds, while retaining charm and a modern sense of style.

Sharing the beautiful, mostly agricultural setting 6km south of Sint-Truiden is a large sheltered-housing block whose decent-sized indoor swimming pool can be used by hotel guests. A wide, raised terrace overlooks the spacious grounds, with a plethora of birds roosting at sunset in trees that mask a lily-padded lake. A brasserie is downstairs.
