Hidden among the orchards of Limburg’s Haspengouw region, this restored Carmelite monastery near Sint-Truiden offers the kind of group stay that feels completely different from a typical countryside house. Sleeping up to 28 guests across 10 bedrooms, the property balances historic character with generous communal spaces that make reunions and long family weekends feel warm rather than formal.
The old monastic architecture still shapes the atmosphere throughout the house, from the peaceful lounges to the large dining hall where dinners naturally stretch late into the evening. During warmer months, most afternoons drift toward the terrace and orchard garden while evenings settle around the barbecue or games room filled with billiards, darts, and shuffleboard. The setting feels calm and atmospheric without becoming overly polished, especially with the church tower rising beside the surrounding fruit fields.
Sint-Truiden can be reached within roughly 11 minutes and is best explored slowly through its abbey tower, medieval squares, and café terraces around Grote Markt. The Sint-Agnes Beguinage lies nearby and remains one of Belgium’s quieter UNESCO-listed sites, while Reading Between the Lines, the famous see-through church installation in Borgloon, can be reached within approximately 15 minutes surrounded by orchards and cycling trails. During spring, the Haspengouw blossom routes become especially beautiful for cycling through apple and pear fields across the region.
Please note that pets are welcome at the property.

Unsafe and poorly maintained outdoor area Picnic benches with protruding nails, rough and worn boards, and paint residue/terpentine that caused damage to clothing. A picnic bench with a broken seat board, of which we know this happened six weekends ago. The damaged boards were still hanging loose on the bench. The statement that the responsible person who should repair this is “on vacation for two weeks” does not align with the facts and indicates willful negligence. Unmowed grass, abundant weeds, trash in flower pots, stagnant green water in large planters, dirty garden furniture on the terrace by the bedroom, abandoned ashtrays with butts... 1. 2. Poor hygiene and defects inside the accommodation Multiple broken chairs. Non-functioning lighting and defective outlets. Cabinet doors that came loose when opened. A dirty refrigerator, a filthy freezer with leftover food from previous guests. Loose parquet boards and a part of the parquet that was raised, which posed a real risk of falling. Damaged slatted bases, dirty mattresses, and worn pillows. Glasses that stuck to the shelf. 1. 3. Absence of the promised service and reception Upon arrival, there was no reception, although this was expected. The accommodation was left open and uncontrolled, without guidance or explanation. The contact person who eventually came by understood us insufficiently, did not give a tour, and denied the hygiene problems. The report that repairs "were not possible due to the vacation of the responsible person" shows that no effort was made to address the reported deficiencies.

What a gem of a place! The renovated monastery is stunning, and the garden is perfect for evening barbecues. We spent our evenings on the terrace enjoying the view of the orchards. Highly recommended for family gatherings!
Ostermann
We enjoyed our stay here, the kitchen was well equipped, and the washing machine was convenient, the location is great for exploring local fruit growers and markets in Sint-Truiden,
Denzer
This place is perfect for gatherings, The spacious layout allowed everyone to have their own space while still being together, The terrace was a great place for morning coffee, and the garden furniture made it even more enjoyable,
