"Perfect for a stay in the quiet countryside just outside the city, this sublime 1698 château carved into a hillside combines a MICHELIN-Starred restaurant and a Bib Gourmand bistro with seven elegantly restored suites in a 17th-century lodgment." - Ty Gaskins
"This terraced castle is full of character and historical charm. From the herringbone parquet flooring to the impressive chandeliers, this place is a classic restaurant at heart. The views over the Baroque gardens and the Jeker Valley are simply stunning! An aperitif or coffee in the historical Marl Caves is an experience in itself.With a feel for the zeitgeist, Robert Levels breathes new life into French classics. Vegetables are harvested from his own garden (an appealing vegetarian set menu is available), and the sauces are always outstanding. A masterpiece in its own right, his foie gras terrine is served with a compote that provides a refreshing sweetness, along with a rich veal jus vinaigrette. His jus made from seasonal vegetables lends depth to the crispy blade steak. Chef Levels tempers the intense flavours of classical cuisine with exciting exotic touches, giving vegetables the attention they deserve and focusing on palatability. A castle fairy tale par excellence!" - Michelin Inspector
"Near Maastricht, this is where I started my Michelin-starred restaurant career, and it remains the most beautiful terraced castle in Holland. In summer, I like to have a drink in the beautifully restored castle terrace garden overlooking the Kanner valley—preferably a bottle of white Apostelhoeve riesling from one of the oldest Dutch wineries next to the castle—kept in wine cellars hidden in the mountain behind the Château. Save some time to visit this amazing property, and note that Chef Hans Snijders is famous for his mushrooms grown in the restaurant’s caves." - Kenneth Goh
"Neercanne is a one Michelin-starred restaurant in Maastricht where Richard Ekkebus started working at the age of 16. It played a crucial role in seducing him into the culinary world, ultimately leading to his decision to become a chef."
"High above the Jeker Valley, Château Neercanne stands out as the Netherlands’ only terraced castle, with formal Baroque gardens and a past that dates back to the 17th century. Built in 1698 by a military governor, the château is carved into a hillside laced with marl caves once used for gatherings and grand events. Today, it is best known for its culinary legacy, home to a Michelin-starred restaurant and a Bib Gourmand bistro, though its newest chapter includes seven elegantly restored suites in the 17th-century lodgment. The setting is dramatic, the history palpable, and the food delectable." - Tablet Hotels
