Long (±300 words)

ArdenNest is a holiday home for 26 guests in Malvoisin, a village in the municipality of Gedinne in the Belgian Ardennes. Until 2026 the house was called Ferme du Château; the new name reflects the vision of owners Bieke & Christophe: quiet luxury for moments together — an oasis of calm where every detail serves togetherness. Bieke & Christophe live on the estate themselves and have welcomed guests since 2003. That proximity defines the style of the house: one fixed contact from booking to departure, a full inspection of the house after every group, and local tips from people who have lived here for 25 years. The house is built for large groups without compromising on comfort: 9 bedrooms with 9 ensuite bathrooms (no morning queue), a professional kitchen with a Lacanche stove, two Miele Professional dishwashers and a fire-suppression system above the stove, and an oak table where all 26 guests eat together. Around the house lie 2 hectares of rolling garden with a football pitch, pétanque lane, play barn for the little ones and a terrace with barbecues. Deliberately absent: a swimming pool or sauna — the house chooses space and calm over distracting facilities. ArdenNest is recognised as a Meublé de Tourisme by Tourisme Wallonie (valid until June 2030, capacity 26 guests), holds the international Green Key label for sustainable tourism (including composting all garden waste with a HOTBIN composter and billing based on actual consumption) and is a member of Gîtes de Wallonie.

Certifications & recognitions

Sustainability (Green Key)

ArdenNest has held the Green Key label, the international eco-label for sustainable tourism, since 2026. In practice: all garden and kitchen waste is composted with an insulated 200-litre HOTBIN composter — children learn to compost during their stay and take a small bag of compost home. Guests only pay for the heating and water they actually use, which rewards conscious energy use. The website runs without tracking cookies, and the house deliberately chooses what not to have: no energy-hungry swimming pool or sauna.

Establishment type (Tourisme Wallonie): Meublé de tourisme
