Our favorite romantic stays and hidden gems
Les Fées Miroir is a true haven of peace nestled in the heart of nature in Libois, a village between Namur and Durbuy, Belgium. This home is the fruit of the passion of 2 inspired designers (Vicky and Chaton) and is distinguished by its reflective appearance, which captures the surrounding splendor and makes it almost invisible. Here's our on-the-spot video.

Our stay
We had the opportunity to stay here and the accommodation totally exceeded our expectations. It's an experience to be lived and one that can hardly be felt in the photos. What we liked best: the profound sense of disconnection (albeit with the wifi connection), the many little touches to be discovered just about everywhere (the passion can be felt everywhere) and the very subtly realized interior decoration.
This exceptional 40m² accommodation offers the following facilities: bedroom with king-size bed, video projector, comfortable bathroom with elegant green marble, Italian shower, fully-equipped kitchen, living room with unique swivel armchair (my god! it's incredible!), large bay window and open fire. The instructions on arrival are very clear. Everything is thought out from A to Z.
Outside, it's pure pleasure and relaxation, especially at sunset. You'll enjoy the following facilities: private, unoverlooked garden, large covered terrace, armchairs for relaxing, wood-fired Nordic bath, sauna, brazier area and stylish mobile barbecue. Peace and quiet in the garden. All you can hear is birdsong. Just enjoy...
The little touches are everywhere: the handwritten welcome note, the handmade dishes by Vicky and Kitten, the beautiful wine glasses, the cables to charge your phone if you've forgotten yours, the marshmallows available, the beautiful plaids, the hot water bottle and the quality of the blinds, for example.
A few tips:
- Start filling the Nordic bath as soon as you arrive, as you'll need around 2 hours to enjoy it: 30 minutes for filling and between 1 and 1.5 hours to heat up the water. For us, 40° is the ideal temperature. You can enjoy the sauna in the meantime.
- Looking for the table in the kitchen? It's cleverly hidden in a kitchen drawer. We didn't notice it right away.
- If you want to work on the spot, this is the ideal place. In that case, we advise you to stay at least 2 nights.
- A late check-out at 1pm instead of 11am is sometimes possible at a cost of €15. Don't hesitate to ask if you want to extend the pleasure.
