Somewhere deep hidden in the picturesque Dikkelvenne, in the heart of the Flemish Ardennes, lies the house. Immersed in an oasis of greenery, it is the perfect accommodation to come to complete rest. This cozy cottage borders the banks of the Scheldt, after which it was named. Also the Saint-Christian spring, with which local lemonade is still brewed to this day, flows into a small stream that babbles under and along the cottages.There where lush fields of flowers bloom in summer and the spindly forests color the surroundings colorfully in autumn. Sunk in nature, this is the ideal place where romance, peace and cosiness meet.

Something for everyone.Oudenaarde, also known as the center of the Tour of Flanders and other spring classics, is only a bow boat away from Dikkelvenne. The city is saturated with culture: from museums and heritage to breweries and annual festivities.Within walking distance of the house on the waterfront you arrive at the right bank of the Scheldt, which turns into the nature reserve De Kaaihoeve.
