About the host
Hosted by De Schrynmakers de Dormael Stéphanie
We live on site, 1 km apart and others of our two rentals. We restored these buildings as early as 2005, and decided to share this extraordinary environment with others.
Why they chose this property
We left Belgium in 1991. Our family bought this large property of 700 ha in 1988. David is a farmer, and he restored all these houses. Stéphanie loves contact with customers, and manages the gîtes (Gîte des Orfeuilles, Chateau de Bizard and Maison du Cerf). Together we do our best to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
What makes this property unique
quiet, space, nature, large houses of all comforts, private pool at each Gite, outdoor and heated from June 1st.
