Davy
Our Belle Epoque villa dates from 1900 and has always been used to train and take care of race horses before they went to go racing to the Hippodrome of Groenendaal. A famous horse doctor/trainer lived here. Nowadays part of the stables are converted into rooms.
Davy has been in the hospitality business for more than 15 years, with a broad knowledge, interest and love for Belgian beers and gastronomy. In Hoeilaart and three other grape cities we used to grow world famous table grapes.
In the middle of the Sonian Forest or the green lungs of Brussels, near Waterloo, and only half an hour from Leuven.
