Welcome to our little slice of Stavelot
We’re Frederic, Debby, and Sam (the dog, and our most loyal adventurer).
Back in 2019, we fell head over heels for the charm of Stavelot and decided to make this enchanting region our home.
Every week, we set out to explore—whether it’s hiking, running, packrafting, or cruising around in our vintage car.

Now, we want to share this wonder with you. Our doors are wide open to welcome everyone—young or old, two legs or four. Come experience the beauty of the region, the warmth of Liège hospitality, and the unique stories of Stavelot, all while feeling right at home with us.
