We had the opportunity to stay here and... What can we say? We loved everything about it. There are a few minor shortcomings, but overall the pros totally outweigh the cons: the truly fantastic restaurant, the choice of wines, the romantic indoor pool in the old barn, the beauty of the estate, the vegetable garden to visit, the alpacas and the very friendly team.

On site, be careful not to get lost as there are 2 buildings. You can park your car in the main square, near the bell tower. The check-in desk is right behind you. The hotel is divided between 2 carefully renovated historic farmhouses, witnesses to a rich rural and agricultural past. Napoleon Bonaparte himself set up his headquarters here in 1815.

There are just 12 rooms, and all of them offer a bath, except for the Coquelicot room. Here are our 4 favorite rooms: Prairie, Peuplier, Noisette and Chocolat. We stayed in Chocolat, which is very pleasant and quiet. The interior decoration is rather uncluttered. A home-made cookie as a welcome gift and many other little touches were much appreciated.

A deep-rooted ecological commitment is part of the hotel's DNA: short supply chains, low energy consumption, solar panels and respect for biodiversity.

If you want to eat well, you absolutely must try the 4-course vegetarian menu at Elements. Chef Jérémy, who has worked in several double Michelin-starred restaurants, is constantly renewing his menu according to what the garden produces: herbs, flowers, apples, berries, oils and infusions among others. Around 75% of the vegetables travel less than 150 meters before reaching your plate. Really, really good! Please note that the restaurant is only open from Wednesday to Saturday.

The drinks are once again excellent: apple juice from the orchard, freshly brewed water of the day, kombucha, kefir and a very good selection of roasted coffees. Try the house cocktails (with or without alcohol) or the delicious homemade lemonade. At the restaurant, we tried and thoroughly enjoyed a delicious white wine from South of France , which is also the chef's favorite.

Every morning, breakfast is served in the dining room next to the restaurant. Everything is very fresh. Try the homemade French toast. Sunday brunch with all-you-can-eat buffet at €38 per person.

The hotel's swimming pool is located in an old barn (our video on the spot) full of character. If you're the only one to enjoy it, it's magical and unique in Belgium. It's heated to a carbon-free 29°C by a heat pump powered by solar panels and a geothermal system. Many other wellness activities are available: sauna for 4 people, massages for 1 or 2 people, ceramics workshops and yoga classes.

During your stay, don't hesitate to take a stroll in the garden. Have you noticed this hole in the hedge? It looks like you're about to step into the world of Alice in Wonderland. Don't be afraid to explore the other part of the estate: the kitchen garden. Along the way, you'll discover many herbs and flowers for the restaurant, a greenhouse and some adorable alpacas. Don't hesitate to strike up a conversation with our friendly team of gardeners.

Indrani Lodge is located in Genappe, in Walloon Brabant, between Brussels, Charleroi and Namur. There are many churches and castles to discover in the area. If you're planning a visit after your departure, we recommend the nearby Villers Abbey. Founded in 1146, it became part of the Order of Citeaux and was abandoned after the French Revolution. A detour is a must, as the site is absolutely splendid.
