Le gîte du pic vert
A self-catered gite named for a woodpecker
About this hotel
Le gîte du pic vert takes its name from the pic vert, the green woodpecker found across this part of the Belgian countryside, a small hint at the natural setting around this self-catered gite near Hannut. With 11 reviews so far, it is a smaller, quieter listing, the kind of self-catered rural stay families choose when they want their own space and kitchen after a day spent largely in shared changing rooms and busy slide queues at the water park. 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.
- Self-catered gite
- Private setting
- Own kitchen
- Rural countryside
Our take
This suits families who prefer a self-catered, private gite over a hotel room, particularly those happy to cook their own dinner and set their own pace rather than work around restaurant hours. Given the smaller review history, it is worth confirming current details directly with the property before booking, especially for larger family groups.
- ✓Plan meals and shopping in advance, since this is a self-catered gite without an on-site restaurant.
- ✓Contact the property directly to confirm current availability, given the smaller number of reviews so far.
- ✓Bring binoculars if birdwatching appeals to older kids; the property's own name points to the local wildlife.
Why we love it

Why guests love itHaving our own kitchen meant we could cook something simple and quick after a long day at Plopsaqua rather than getting everyone dressed again for a restaurant. The gite itself was quiet and private, tucked into the countryside in a way that made the evening feel genuinely restful. It is a small, self-catered stay rather than a hotel, so plan your meals accordingly, but it suited our family well.
