Local Region: Peer
Place: Peer
Organisation: Historic Hotels of the Benelux

Historie
Casa Ciolina is a charming, luxurious residence situated in the foothills of ‘de  Kempen’, a rural area in the Belgian province of Limburg close to Peer and  Hasselt. The 19th-century premises were formerly a soap factory and have recently been converted into a magnificent farmhouse with an inner courtyard. Although Casa Ciolina was originally a so-called ‘Teutenhuis’, which refers to a place where travelling salesmen from the region used to congregate, this location is a delightful experience for any kind of traveller. Casa Ciolina, owned by Maria and her originally Italian husband Enrico Ciolina, is a welcome breath of fresh air for anyone who enjoys subdued luxury.

Accomodations and prices
Even though Casa Ciolina’s interior forms a harmonious entity, the owners strived to give each of their six charming guest rooms an individual character through the use of furniture and accessories. Four spacious rooms are located on the first floor. Dinner is prepared on request, primarily on weekends, but there is also a choice of good restaurants in the vicinity. Transport can be arranged, if desired. Casa Ciolina’s Jachtkamer (Hunting Room) can be used for special occasions. Breakfast is served in the stylish area that leads to the cosy living room. Hot and cold drinks are available all day long in the small guest kitchen. The old, spacious stable has been converted into a very luxurious wellness centre with a sauna and delightfully warm swimming pool.

From EUR 120.00 per room, based on double occupancy, including breakfast.

Hidden in the folds of the Limburg countryside lies this 17th century farm in an opulence of space and silence. Until 1969 the farm was part of the castle complex of Wijer. Thereafter it stayed unoccupied for 28 years up to the day that Tessa and Erik Feldhaus van Ham purchased it to carry out their ambitious plan to restore this ruin by their own hands and to bring it back to life.

Accommondations:
Today part of the property has been transformed into an attractive and hospitable Country House with 6 bedrooms, a dining room, a library, a tower room and a spacious kitchen where Tessa conjures up heavenly dishes from her AGA cooker with biological ingredients from their own vegetable and herb gardens.

The Kerckhem offers a perfect retreat from which one can undertake various activities in the region. There are an extensive cycle route network, beautiful trails, various golf courses and weekly antique markets in the cozy towns just around the corner.

The stylish guest rooms are a great point of departure from where to venture out on a bike trip or hike through the surrounding Haspengouw area, or go on a garden tour, search for antiques at local flea markets, or enjoy a round of golf on one of the local courses nearby. Or would you rather read a book under an apple tree? Relax and enjoy yourself.
