点评:My sister, her husband, and I wrapped up a several-city European vacation with our last 3 days exploring Bastogne, Belgium, The Ardennes forest, and several other sites critical to WWII's The Battle of the Bulge in which our Dad participated as a tank commander. Our 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment at L'Hostellerie du Panorama in Houffalize was the perfect base for our daily adventures in the area.
It's best to have a car to get around efficiently in this area, and driving is easy on highways and in the countryside with Google Maps instructions. The hotel itself is on a quiet road amongst small farms, so be aware you can't just run out to a grocery store or coffee shop. However, we did do some grocery shopping when we went to the Bastogne War Museum and the Bois Jacques section of the Ardennes (an excellent, extremely well-designed museum experience with immersive augmented reality and 3D-designed experiences).
Returning to our apartment after our daily jaunts every late afternoon was a perfect place to decompress, relax, and discuss the day over wine and snacks on our balcony overlooking rolling hills of farms and forests. This is just a beautiful area of the country!
During our stay we enjoyed a 5 course fixed price (very reasonable) Saturday evening dinner, which our host and hostess prepare by reservation on Saturdays. One previous review we read on Trip Advisor had raved about their dinner and that this place should be Michelin 5-star rated. I'm no expert, but I'd agree! The French food and wines were impeccably selected and presented and delicious! We also added a scrumptious breakfast for each day of our stay (home made breads and croissants, home made preserves and juices, smoked ham and cheese plate, fresh fruit, yogurt, and a fresh egg. Lunch and dinner (other than Saturday) are on your own, but the generous breakfast well fortifies you!
We were lucky that we had great weather and very few other guests to run into, and our host and hostess were extremely gracious and helpful but respected our privacy as well.
All in all, I'd love to return to L'Hostellerie du Panorama with additional family members to enjoy the excellent hospitality and the rich history of the region that is so relevant to our family!
翻译:我和姐姐、她的丈夫在最后三天探索了比利时巴斯托涅、阿登森林以及其他几个对二战突出部战役至关重要的地点,结束了欧洲多个城市的假期,我们的父亲作为坦克参加了这场战役指挥官。我们位于胡法利兹 L'Hostellerie du Panorama 的 2 卧室 2 浴室公寓是我们在该地区日常探险的完美基地。
最好拥有一辆汽车,以便在该地区高效出行,并且根据 Google 地图指示,在高速公路和乡村驾驶非常方便。酒店本身位于一条安静的道路上,周围有小农场,因此请注意,您不能直接跑到杂货店或咖啡店。然而,当我们去巴斯托涅战争博物馆和阿登地区的雅克森林区时,我们确实去买了一些杂货(这是一个优秀的、设计极其精良的博物馆体验,具有沉浸式增强现实和 3D 设计体验)。
每天下午晚些时候,结束每日短途旅行后返回公寓是减压、放松和在阳台上一边品尝葡萄酒和小吃一边讨论这一天的完美场所,俯瞰连绵起伏的农场和森林山丘。这只是这个国家一个美丽的地区!
在我们住宿期间,我们享受了 5 道菜的固定价格(非常合理)的周六晚餐,我们的男主人和女主人在周六通过预订准备了晚餐。我们之前在猫途鹰上读到的一篇评论对他们的晚餐赞不绝口,而且这个地方应该被评为米其林五星级。我不是专家,但我同意!法国食物和葡萄酒都经过精心挑选和呈现,非常美味!我们还为住宿期间的每一天添加了美味的早餐(自制面包和羊角面包、自制蜜饯和果汁、熏火腿和奶酪拼盘、新鲜水果、酸奶和新鲜鸡蛋。午餐和晚餐(周六除外)独自一人,但丰盛的早餐可以让您精力充沛!
我们很幸运,天气很好,遇到的其他客人很少,我们的主人和女主人非常亲切和乐于助人,但也尊重我们的隐私。
总而言之,我很乐意与其他家庭成员一起回到 L'Hostellerie du Panorama,享受与我们家庭息息相关的优质热情好客和该地区丰富的历史!
