La Villa du Hautsart
A residential villa in quiet countryside
About this hotel
La Villa du Hautsart offers a more residential, villa-style stay than the hotels and converted farms elsewhere on this list, set in the same quiet Hesbaye countryside around Hannut and Landen. With 329 reviews, it has built a solid reputation among guests, suggesting a well-run, dependable property rather than a newly opened one still finding its footing. For families who prefer the feel of staying in a proper house over a hotel room, a villa setting like this offers a genuinely different rhythm to the stay. That single fact shapes how the whole stay should be planned around the park visit. It is a small detail, but one that changes how the rest of the day tends to unfold for a family with kids in tow.
- Villa-style stay
- Countryside setting
- 320+ guest reviews
- Residential feel
Our take
This suits families who want a home-like, residential feel rather than a hotel corridor, particularly those planning a longer countryside stay around a single Plopsaqua day. Families who specifically want on-site dining or hotel-style daily service should compare this against the more conventional hotels on this list, since a villa stay leans more toward independence than staffed hospitality.
- ✓Confirm what is included in your stay directly with the property, since villa-style accommodation can vary in service level.
- ✓Book early for peak school holiday weeks, given the strong existing following this property has built up.
- ✓Ask about outdoor space if travelling with younger kids who will want somewhere to run before or after the park.
Why we love it
- Residential, home-like villa feel
- Well-established, highly reviewed stay
- Quiet countryside setting
- A different rhythm than a hotel
Why guests love itAfter two nights in hotel rooms elsewhere on our Belgium trip, staying somewhere that actually felt like a house was a welcome change, especially with kids who needed space to decompress after Plopsaqua. It has the quiet, settled feel of a property that has been doing this for a while and knows what families need. Not flashy, but comfortable in a way that suited our family better than another hotel room would have.
