No, La Truite d'Argent is an adults-only resort. We focus entirely on couples seeking peace, privacy and romance. All guests must be 18 years or older.

Pets are not allowed for hygiene reasons. Placing an extra bed or bench is not possible.

No and Yes; All our accommodations are carefully and lovingly designed for 2 persons. Booking multiple accommodations (and perhaps moving furniture and cutlery around) to 'stay' together in one accommodation is something we do not allow. Our experience is that this always causes nuisance to other guests and our accommodations get worn out. In short, this is prohibited.

However... if you want to come with two couples, our Lodge is perfectly suited for this.

The easiest way to book is via our online reservation module. Bob or Henja will personally assist you and help you choose the perfect accommodation for your weekend.

Check-in: between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM
Check-out: between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM

We recommend booking in advance, especially on weekends and during autumn - our most beautiful period. If you have specific wishes (for example a special occasion), please let us know!

Absolutely! La Truite d'Argent is one of the most romantic places in the Ardennes for a honeymoon:

• Complete privacy in your own accommodation
• Adults-only environment - only the two of you matter
• Intimate restaurant for romantic dinners
• Beautiful nature for walks together

Many couples choose us for their honeymoon or anniversary. Let us know when you book - we will make sure you receive an extra special welcome!

Yes — with our Bon Cadeau you can give a stay for two as a gift. Choose the amount yourself (€350 to €700), personalise the voucher with a message and print it right after payment.

The recipient chooses the accommodation and dates, and redeems the voucher code when booking. The voucher is valid for 1 year; remaining value stays on the code. Not valid for separate restaurant reservations or Camp & Dinner; the deposit is paid separately upon reservation.

Checking in or being received before 4:00 PM is not possible. We need all the time to prepare your accommodation, do shopping, carry out any maintenance inside/outside, or to spot wolves and dragons ourselves. If you want to arrive earlier to explore the forests, you can of course park your car in the car park opposite the Inn.

It is possible to arrive later by arrangement. You should check this with us before making your reservation.

Yes. When you stay in a Cabane, you receive a starter supply of firewood with firelighters to start the first evening romantically. When this runs out, you can purchase a new supply from us (€8.50 per bag).

All accommodations are provided with soap/shampoo, bed linen, towels and kitchen towels. If you wish to replace the bed linen or towels after a few days, you can simply hand in the used ones and exchange them for clean linen. The cost for this is €10 per bed linen or towel set.

Our experience is that this approach limits water and energy consumption. This is how we contribute to protecting the environment.

Yes. In the communal car park there is the possibility to plug into a 220V, 16A socket with a kWh meter. You pay the current cost price for charging. Don't forget to bring your 220V converter.

Our restaurant is not an 'a la carte' restaurant and we serve a fixed, daily changing menu where you can choose between vegetarian and 'standard'. The menu will be emailed to you the week before arrival. If you have a food intolerance, it is useful to discuss this beforehand. However, if you have a food allergy, dining or having breakfast with us is not an option. It is impossible for us to use separate kitchen utensils or equipment to prevent (cross-)contamination by allergens. We do not want to risk an anaphylactic reaction.

Almost everything. You only need to bring your own ingredients to prepare your meals.

• Electric hob
• Pans, plates, cutlery, cooking utensils
• Microwave/grill
• Nespresso coffee machine, kettle and starter pack of coffee/tea
• Refrigerator

And when you don't feel like cooking, you can dine at our restaurant on weekends.

No. Cetturu has no public village café, and ours is not one either: the café is exclusively for staying guests — guests staying in one of our accommodations. It is only open at weekends, from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Not staying with us? At weekends you are welcome to dine in our restaurant, by reservation only.

There is so much to discover, but you don't have to do it all! Many guests come specifically for the tranquility:

• Hiking: Direct access to nature trails from your accommodation
• Cycling: Beautiful routes through Nature Park Des Deux Ourthes
• Relaxing: Reading on your private terrace, listening to the silence
• Dining: Local specialities in our atmospheric restaurant

The real activity? Simply having nothing to do in the most beautiful nature of the Ardennes.

We are located in the middle of nature, but easily accessible:

• Brussels: 2 hours driving (160 km)
• Antwerp: 2 hours driving (180 km)
• Maastricht: 1 hour driving (90 km)
• Liege: 1 hour driving (60 km)
• Luxembourg City: 1 hour driving (70 km)

Address: Cetturu 1, 6662 Houffalize. GPS: 50.1211844, 5.8395919. It is worth the journey - as soon as you drive into our valley, you feel the stress melting away.

Every season has its own magic here:

• Spring (March-May): Everything comes to life, perfect hiking temperatures
• Summer (June-August): Long evenings on your terrace, all greenery in full glory
• Autumn (September-November): Stunning autumn colours, cosy evenings by the fireplace
• Winter (December-February): Possible snow, ultimate cosy feeling, romantic by the fire

Many guests come specifically outside peak season - it is extra quiet then and you receive the full attention of Bob and Henja.
