Family hotels and homes in Braine-le-Château

The owners of the hotel, Gregory and Lien are gracious, friendly and helpful. The hotel is easy walking distance to the Halle town centre and a short bike ride to Komoot’s “Best of Flanders” cycle route (a.k.a. Vlaaderenroute). Safe overnight storage for our bikes was provided. Rooms are modern, spacious and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was great. Hotel Hallensis is one of the nicest hotel stays on our bike tour thru Belgium.

Very nice room and bathroom Friendly service Excellent breakfasts Parking nearby

Great room, view, location. Excellent breakfast

We spent four nights (5days) at Villa Servais. The neo-Palladian Villa is beautiful and ancient (it dates back to the 19th century), and inside, we feel immersed in the local history of Halle and in that of one of his best sons: the cellist Francois Servais. We resided in one of the eight luxurious rooms (ours was named Franz Liszt), managed by the adorable and professional couple Maud & Geert. From it, it was possible to see the roofs of a part of Halle and the bell tower of the church of San Rocco. Here we could relax by taking a hot bath in the magnificent ceramic bathtub and sipping a coffee on a comfy armchair near the window. The room, with its silence and its, warm darkness, and its relaxing colors (velvet green and bronze), allowed us to recharge after the long and intense walking all day through some of the beautiful Belgian cities we decided to get to know better (Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp, and finally Brussels). The Villa Servais is, in fact, close to the Halle train station (5 minutes on foot), and Bruxelles can be reached in about 20 minutes. Another contribution to our rest is the culinary excellence and abundance of the morning breakfast. The buffet ranges from savory (with a vast assortment of cold cuts, fish, and cheeses) with related accompanying sauces to the sweet buffet (apple and pear pies, glass desserts, yogurt). It is also possible to request the chef's preparation of excellent scrambled eggs or omelets, crepes, and pancakes. We had a good time as if the souls of the musician and his wife infused us with their connection. And we who come from Genoa (birthplace of the brilliant Niccolo Paganini) were thrilled by so much art in the building and by the welcome and harmony of the people who manage it. We thank you and hope one day to be able to return.

On a cycling holiday t his could not have been more perfect. Just wonderful.

Nice apartment, own parking free of charge. Owner is very friendly))

Beautiful old farmhouse in a stunning setting of rolling hills, meadows and forest. Lovely to see all the horses in the stables, and that it is still a working farm. The rooms were tastefully decorated, spacious and clean. The breakfast was great, fresh bread from the baker, locally produced cheese, meat, and jams etc. Communication with the proprietor was great, and he was very helpful and accommodating with our requests. Highly recommended

Very clean, silent, kind stuff

Daniela, the representative, was helpful. Thank you!
