We love the Italian style of the Missoni Jewel Suite, the stunning view of the private park from the Geert Voorjans Suite, and the glamorous vibe of the Velvet Moondust Suite. Finally, we’ve truly fallen in love with the Moonlight Suite and its celestial style, as well as the Luna Aurea Wellness Suite with its jacuzzi, sauna, and private terrace.

Your dining options

In the morning, it’s a pleasure to wake up to the sound of birds singing. If the weather is nice, you can have breakfast in the garden, by the pond.

For lunch and dinner, you can choose between two exceptional venues. First, there is the two-Michelin-starred restaurant "Ralf Berendsen," where the chef of the same name executes high-end creations to perfection. From the tree-lined terrace with its dark wood floors to the bright dining room, everything in this restaurant exudes class, captivating you even before the first bite.

Another option: the brasserie "Le Ciel," run by Franco-Belgian chef Pieter Beurskens, which is just as surprising. Discover Franco-Belgian cuisine with global influences, translated into surprising yet approachable dishes.

The brewery’s glass-walled interior features a subtropical tree that beautifully showcases the space’s rich collection of decorative objects: ammonites, fossils, crystals, minerals, petrified wood, and gemstones set into jewelry. Magical!

The expansive wellness area

A lovely spa is available free of charge throughout your stay: the Shiseido Institute. It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful on Let's Go My Love.

You have access to the following amenities: indoor pool, panoramic sauna, steam room, dual-person infrared benches, polar zone, indoor hot tub on the terrace, lounge, outdoor terrace, fitness center, and massage services.

Limburg, just a stone's throw from the Netherlands
