Basile & Babouch is a little house hidden among the trees, on a luxurious 5,000 m² property in Conneux, near Ciney, in the heart of the Belgian Condroz. All new since 2025 and perfectly appointed. The place is very cinematic. Take a look at our drone view of the site.

Our experience
We had the opportunity to visit Basile & Babouch to take some photos. What we liked best: a golden location, absolute silence, the splendid grounds all around and the bathtub overlooking nature.
On-site arrival
On the day of booking, you can choose whether you would like to arrive on your own or be greeted in person by Marie-Noëlle. She's so friendly and charming! Private parking is available right next to your cottage, or a little further away, near the owner's house.
Good to know: dogs are not allowed on site, in order to respect the surrounding wildlife.
Marie-Noëlle is a sunny, ultra-smiling interior decorator. Look at this photo with her husband. She taught oil painting for 20 years and has traveled extensively throughout her life. She is particularly sensitive to light. She welcomes her guests with genuine kindness, always available but never intrusive.

A Few Ideas for Your Meals
Breakfast is not provided on site, but the kitchen is well equipped. We recommend bringing your own pastries to heat up in the oven, for example.
There's also the Pâtisserie Gerlache, less than 10 minutes away by car, offering excellent fresh bread and delicious croissants. A great way to start the day. In the evening, it's easy to arrange for delivery on site.
Looking for a great restaurant in the area? We highly recommend the Auberge (external link) at Château de Leignon, a superb fine-dining restaurant run by Michelin-starred chef Isabelle Arpin, just a few minutes’ drive away. The cuisine is delicate and generous, with delicious dishes like butternut squash ravioli with Parmesan, Cantabrian anchovies, and black olive powder. Delicious!
