Chateau de Vignee

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Château de Vignettes. Just a short drive from the capital, it’s the ideal escape for a relaxing weekend. The setting is stunning, peaceful, and full of charm. The wellness facilities are top-notch — a real hidden gem! The restaurant was amazing, with refined dishes and an excellent wine pairing that elevated the entire experience. Do plan any spa or treatment sessions in advance, as they fill up quickly. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind in elegance and tranquility.

We don't get to dine at Michelin star restaurants often but this was a fantastic experience. Stylish rooms with a patio overlooking garden and creek, wonderful sauna a pool. The fixed menu was fantastic with lots of little extra and creative dishes. We enjoyed the non-alcoholic beverage pairing as much as the wines!

My partner and I would like to sincerely thank you for the wonderful stay with you. It was incredibly thoughtful of you to decorate the bed so beautifully and to surprise us with a little sparkler show at dessert in celebration of our 5th anniversary – thank you so much for that! The room was simply phenomenal, the massage wonderfully relaxing, and the breakfast absolutely delicious. All in all, a perfect stay!

Amazing staff, the attention to detail is excellent. Beautiful rooms and spa and surroundings. 45 euros for breakfast felt like a lot for what the breakfast is. You can hear the highway a little bit when you are sitting outside but that’s not something the hotel can do anything about. For anything they can help you with, they really do their best. Truly excellent service.

One day, I would be able to book a room here. For now, each time I checked it was fully booked. And that's tells you also something positive about the place, right? I've been there for the wellness, the restaurant and venue. Oh man.... What a great experience for the soul Beautiful venue, close to a forest or walking path, and to a "moestuin", with views to the nature with peace and calmness.... It depends what you look for but... If you value peace, nature, quality and the venue; this is definitely your place.

Château de Vignée is a stunning retreat located away from busy roads. The beautiful grounds, filled with flowers and wildlife, create a peaceful setting. The rooms are both elegant and cozy. The dining experience is fantastic, although the food may take a little while to arrive. The restaurant’s atmosphere enhances every meal. Additionally, guests can enjoy the spa, bar, and swimming pool for ultimate relaxation. The staff are exceptionally friendly, particularly the gentleman at the entrance, who makes you feel right at home. Overall, this hidden treasure offers comfort and tranquility. I can’t wait to return for a leisurely getaway.

My second stay at Chateau de Vignée will also be my last as my experience was far from 5*. I stayed solo, on a stopover on a roadtrip and I booked the hotel specifically as I wanted to try Arden, their 1* Michelin restaurant. ||I booked directly on their website with the dining experience package.||My verdict as an experienced 5 star traveller is that this hotel does not live up to the level of a 5 *. ||First impressions are ok, but the devil is in the detail!||What I liked:||1. The welcome drink||2. Design of the lounge and restaurant Arden||3. The overall dining experience at Arden||||Areas for improvement:||1. Add the adequate photo of a Lesse room ( the one with the tiny cell like window) so you avoid people being disappointed with the room||2. Work on sound isolation as the hotel is surrounded by highways and roads and you can hear the traffic everywhere ||3. Reception staff is courteous but not exactly hospitable , rather cold and hautain. When you have a comment they immediately go into the defensive and do not care about the comfort of their guests||4. My mattress was placed the wrong way up; my head was on the feet end ( see attached photo) and when i mentioned this to the staff they kept to their POV that this was supposed to be like that. They couldn’t care at all that I had back pain as a result. ||5.Sommelier at Arden gave the wrong explanation about what is a rosé de saignée champagne, when you serve a champagne buffet with 2 rosé champagnes in it, thats a bit disappointing and unworthy of a Michelin star establishment.||6. The wellness was not as clean as expected, especially the doors of the hanmam had seen better times and the water in the pool was cloudy.||7. Breakfast at 45€ was disappointing. I couldn’t eat most of my order as my egg was too runny ( though I had specifically requested the egg white not to be runny) & the avocado was overripe ) nobody enquired if I liked it , nobody came to even clean the table.

I found breakfast disappointing in terms of diversity and staff lacks attention to detail (bringing the wrong order, and later forgetting separate order). If you are looking for an exceptional breakfast experience I would rather recommend the Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp and the Reylof Pillows Hotel in Ghent. Especially the latter hits the sweetspot of location, quality, service and price

This restaurant is featured in Guide Michelin. We just stopped by for a quick bite and they opened up the kitchen earlier than scheduled to give us a very nice entrée and a very good steak. Kudos for the nice service!
