I just got back from that Escape to LUXURY gig in Boevange-Clervaux and honestly? It was a rollercoaster. One minute I was feeling like royalty, the next I was…well, let’s just say I was contemplating the existential purpose of a tiny, hotel-branded soap bar.

Let's Dive In! (And Try Not to Drown in the Luxuriousness)
First impressions were… whoa. The place is undeniably beautiful. Think manicured lawns, charming little pathways, and a general air of “we take ourselves VERY seriously.” Seriously. Like, the staff were polite to a fault. Too polite? Maybe. I felt like I needed to bow. Anyway, after the initial awe, I started digging.
Accessibility: (Crucial, and frankly, a bit hit-and-miss).
- Wheelchair Accessible: Now, this is where it gets interesting. The website claims accessibility, and yes, there's an elevator, and some ramps. But… the paths around the grounds? Not always the smoothest ride. One of my friends, who uses a wheelchair, struggled with the uneven cobblestones. Inside the hotel, the public areas were manageable, but the hallways felt a bit tight. So, while they try, it's definitely worth confirming specifics before you book. I'd recommend calling and asking very specific questions. Don't just take their word for it.
- Other Considerations: The elevator and the staff's willingness to help make this a better choice than some.
On-Site Restaurants & Lounges: The Foodie Fiasco (and a Glimmer of Genius)
- Restaurants: There's a buffet, and you can order A la carte. I opted for the buffet for breakfast one day, and it was…an experience. Breakfast [buffet], Buffet in restaurant, Asian breakfast, Western breakfast It had everything, from standard continental fare to some genuinely interesting Asian-inspired dishes. The problem? The “hot” food was lukewarm, and the coffee… oh, the coffee. It was the kind of coffee that makes you question your life choices. I ended up pouring milk in it just to make it palatable (blasphemy, I know!). I tried the A la carte in restaurant experience for dinner one night, and this was a vast improvement. The International cuisine in restaurant was actually quite delicious, beautifully presented, and the service was impeccable. A solid win. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was also exceptional.
- Bars & Lounges: Bar, Poolside bar. The Poolside bar was a total vibe! Sun, a cheeky cocktail (or two!), and a view. Heaven. The Happy hour was a nice touch, and the staff were friendly. Perfect for decompressing.
- Coffee/tea in restaurant: Okay, maybe I'm being harsh. Coffee was adequate, it probably just wasn't my style. There was a Coffee shop, too.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: (More random observations)
- Room Service: I may have availed myself of the Room service [24-hour] more than once. Sometimes you just need a burger in your bathrobe at 2 AM, okay?
- Snack Bar: Convenient, but nothing to write home about.
- Vegetarian restaurant: It was there, but I didn't partake.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Days & Steam Room Shenanigans
- Spa: Okay, the Spa? Worth the price of admission. Seriously. The Massage was divine. They truly know how to knead the stress out of you.
- Steamroom: Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Sauna, Pool with view, Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Swimming pool. I spent a ridiculous amount of time in the Sauna, and the Steam room. I got a Body wrap and a Body scrub. The Pool with view was picture-perfect.
- Fitness Center: I intended to hit the Fitness center, I really did. But… well, the spa was more tempting.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: Beautiful, but I never went in as it was not swimming weather.
Cleanliness & Safety: Gotta Talk About the 'Rona
- Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment: They took COVID-19 precautions seriously. Hand sanitizer stations everywhere. Staff wearing masks. Tables spaced out. They were clearly trying, and I appreciated that. The Daily disinfection in common areas was reassuring. I felt relatively safe, but I still kept my own hand sanitizer handy.
- Room sanitization opt-out available, Sterilizing equipment.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things (and Some Big Ones)
- Internet & Wi-Fi: Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services, Wi-Fi in public areas, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Free Wi-Fi was a godsend. Reliable and fast. No complaints there.
- Hotel Amenities: The Concierge was incredibly helpful, arranging everything from taxi services to restaurant reservations. The Elevator was a lifesaver. The Gift/souvenir shop was overpriced, naturally.
- Business Facilities: Didn't use it, but it was there. The Meeting/banquet facilities looked top-notch. The Xerox/fax in business center looks like a thing of the past.
- Laundry: The Laundry service was efficient, but a bit pricey.
For the Kids: (My perspective is largely childless, so…)
- Family/child friendly. The hotel is surprisingly accommodating of families.
- Babysitting service.
- Kids meal. I saw other kids there, and they seemed happy.
Room Amenities: The Devil is in the Details!
- Available in all rooms: The rooms themselves were gorgeous. Big, spacious, and well-appointed.
- Amenities: Air conditioning, Bathrobes, Blackout curtains, Coffee/tea maker, Desk, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Mini bar, Non-smoking. The things you expect in a hotel of this caliber.
- The Imperfect: Slippers. Why are hotel slippers always so…slippery? I nearly ate it attempting a midnight snack. And the Scale in the bathroom? Probably best to avoid that one after a week of spa treatments and delicious food.
Getting Around: (Mostly smooth sailing)
- Car Park [free of charge]. Parking was Car park [free of charge] and easy. Taxi service was readily available.
Access & Security: (Always Important)
- CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Smoke alarms, Security [24-hour]: They really do take safety seriously.
In Conclusion: Worth It? Maybe. It Depends…
So, would I recommend “Escape to LUXURY”? It's complicated. If you’re looking for a truly luxurious experience and don’t
Escape to Ardennes Bliss: Sauna & Luxury Awaits in Your Houffalize Holiday Home!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your average, pristine travel itinerary. This is… my itinerary. And let's be real, it's more of a suggestion box with a healthy dose of potential chaos. We're talking a Cozy Holiday Home in Boevange-Clervaux, Luxembourg. Get ready for some Luxembourgian loveliness… and a whole lotta me.
The Boevange-Clervaux Blitz: A (Mostly) Unplanned Adventure
Day 1: Arrival & "Oh Dear God, Is That the Right Address?"
- Morning (ish): The Great Departure. Got up like I had totally planned to. Packed, repacked, swore a little at the suitcase's refusal to cooperate. Left for the airport, feeling smug about how prepared I was… until I hit traffic. Rushed, flustered, and mentally composing an angry email to the universe for conspiring against my perfect holiday.
- Afternoon: Landed, grabbed a rental car that may or may not have been exactly what I booked (surprise!). Finding the Cozy Holiday Home. The GPS, bless its digital heart, got me close. "Boevange-Clervaux," it chirped. "You're here!" I swear I drove past what might have been the house three times before finally realizing… yup, that was it. The excitement was palpable, because I had been wanting a holiday.
- Evening: Unpacking… and then realizing I'd forgotten the important things (like the book I was dying to read and also my good face wash, you know, the essentials). Okay, crisis averted. Decided to explore the garden. It was lovely, but the mosquitoes? They were hungry. Dinner: makeshift pasta and a bottle of wine I'd grabbed at the airport. Delicious!
Day 2: Clervaux Castle & the "I Think I Got Lost in a Cheese Shop" Incident
- Morning: Woke up feeling like a new person. The fresh air? Magical. The bed? Comfortable. Coffee, strong enough to raise the dead. Today, the plan… Clervaux Castle! Looked up directions, took some turns. I was enjoying the landscapes. Beautiful.
- Afternoon: Clervaux Castle. Magnificent! Absolutely stunning. Spent a good hour wandering around, imagining myself as a medieval queen (or, you know, at least a moderately successful Lady-in-Waiting). The views! Breath-taking. Felt all cultured and historical… and then got distracted by… cheese.
- The Cheese Shop Debacle (and My Personal Nirvana): And there it was. A tiny, glorious cheese shop. I walked in "just to look." Yeah. Right. Thirty minutes and a mountain of cheese samples later, I emerged with a bag overflowing with pungent, creamy, and utterly irresistible dairy delights. My wallet was lighter, my stomach was happier, and I think I’d found my personal paradise.
- Evening: Attempted to cook a "fancy" dinner, inspired by the cheese. Disaster, mostly. Ended up eating cheese, crackers, and grapes while binge-watching something terrible. Perfect.
Day 3: Esch-sur-Sûre & the Case of the Missing Hiking Boots
- Morning: Hiking! (Maybe). Woke up with ambitious plans to hike around Esch-sur-Sûre. Packed my backpack, feeling sporty and adventurous. Went to put on my hiking boots… and they were missing. Panic mode. Searched the entire house, muttering about the Great Shoe Conspiracy. Turns out they were, um, under the bed. Whoops.
- Afternoon: Esch-sur-Sûre. The hike was beautiful, the scenery was spectacular. Got gloriously lost for a bit and wound up wandering through a field of wildflowers. It was pure magic. Took a million photos, probably annoyed everyone.
- Evening: Returned, tired but happy. Decided to reward myself with a hot bath and a good book.
- The Great Book Incident: I'd been looking forward to reading the book I’d brought. Got into the bath, found my book… and promptly dropped it in the water. Curses! Had to salvage it with a hair-dryer. Ended up reading a slightly soggy book in a bathrobe. Still worth it.
Day 4: Müllerthal Trail & The Great Bike Ride That Wasn’t (Quite)
- Morning: Müllerthal Trail was the plan. Did some research on routes. Got the bike.
- Afternoon: Got on the bike, felt all energized. And then… two minutes in, I realized my gears were… let’s just say, temperamental. The bike had a mind of its own. Decided, with a sigh, that a leisurely walk through the area was a better plan. Stunning. I mean, breathtaking. The waterfalls, the rock formations, the lush greenery… it was like stepping into a fairytale.
- Evening: Went to a local restaurant for dinner. Tried to order in French, mumbled something incomprehensible, and ended up with a delicious schnitzel and some local beer. Celebrated my attempt with a lot of laughter.
Day 5: Last Day & The Sad, Sad Departure
- Morning: Went for a last walk in the garden. Took as much pictures as I could.
- Afternoon: Packed up, felt wistful. Left a small thank-you note for the owners of the house.
- Evening: Drive to the airport. Reflect on the past few days. Realized how I appreciated solitude. The freedom to nap when I wanted, eat what I wanted, and get lost in the world.
Things I Didn't Do (and probably regret):
- Visit the Luxembourg City. (Next time!)
- Perfect my French. (Working on it!)
- Try all the local beers. (Because that would have been irresponsible.)
Final Thoughts (and a little emotional ramble):
This trip, even with the missing boots and the cheese shop crisis, was perfect. It proved that sometimes, the best adventures are the ones that aren’t perfectly planned. It's okay to get a little lost, to make mistakes. To laugh at yourself and soak up the beauty around you. And I'd totally go back to that Cozy Holiday Home in Boevange-Clervaux, Luxembourg, in a heartbeat.
Now, who's up for some cheese?

Escape to LUXURY: Your Dream Boevange-Clervaux Garden Getaway! – FAQs (Prepare for Realness!)
Okay, so... what *is* Boevange-Clervaux even *like*? I'm picturing... giant gnomes and... well, I have no clue.
Alright, deep breaths. Boevange-Clervaux. Think... rolling hills. Seriously green hills. Like, they're so green they almost make you feel *guilty* about being there. Then add in storybook villages, castles that look like they were plucked straight from a Disney movie (minus the princesses, I think), and this almost ethereal peacefulness that makes you want to just... stop. Breathe. And maybe, secretly, judge your life choices up until this point.
The gardens... well, they're the star here, right? Lush, meticulously kept, smells of a thousand different flowers. It's the kind of place where you accidentally spend an hour just staring at a single rose, just *thinking*. (Or, y'know, scrolling Instagram. I'm not judging. We all do it.) I went in October last year – weather permitting, the autumn colours were spectacular. Perfect for a long walk that ended in a hot chocolate. I definitely didn't fall into any rose bushes. (Okay, maybe I tripped slightly whilst trying to take a photo...)
Luxury? REALLY luxury? Like, is it the kind of luxury where you feel terrified to touch anything? Because I'm a klutz.
Okay, full disclosure: yes, it's luxury. But here's the *good* news. It's the kind of luxury where you *can* actually relax. You know, the kind where they *want* you to enjoy stuff. Not the one where you're constantly worrying you'll break a Ming vase. I mean, yes, there are probably things that cost more than my car, but the staff are so lovely; they just want you to have a good time. I once spilled red wine down my entire front at a Michelin-starred restaurant (yes, mortifying). They dealt with it with grace, a wink, and a fresh napkin. That’s real luxury, right there.
Expect comfy beds (the kind you sink into and never want to leave), excellent service, and food that will make your taste buds do a happy dance. Plus, the gardens are so big you can wander and not get that "trapped in a gilded cage" feeling. Which, for me, is a huge win. I need space to pace when I eat too much (which is often).
Ok, garden-y vibes sound nice... but what if it rains? I’m pretty sure I'm cursed to be rained upon when on vacation.
Oh, honey, *I feel your pain*. I swear, I brought a suitcase to Iceland once, and it rained *sideways* for a week. But even if the heavens open up in Boevange-Clervaux (and let's be honest, Luxembourg *does* get its fair share of weather), there's still plenty to do. The hotel will have cosy reading nooks, spa treatments (hello, massage!), and maybe even a fireplace.
Plus, it is within easy reach of some of the best museums in the country. They’ve got heated indoor pools, too. Look, I’m not going to lie, a rainy day in Boevange-Clervaux is still a good day. It might even be *better* than a sunny one, purely because you've got your excuse to stay inside and do absolutely nothing. (Which, let's be honest, vacation is all about, right?)
I have dietary restrictions/am picky. Can I still enjoy the food? I have issues, you see...
Oh, absolutely! They cater to *everything*. Seriously. Gluten-free? Vegan? Pescatarian? They've seen it all, and they'll happily whip up something amazing. The chefs are talented, and they understand that food is about enjoyment. Tell them your issues – whether it's allergies or simply a dislike of, say, cilantro (that stuff is evil, I swear) – and they'll work their magic.
During one visit, I met a woman who was allergic to pretty much everything *except* air. (Okay, I exaggerate. Slightly.) But the staff were amazing, making sure she was fed things she could actually eat and enjoy. So don't worry. Embrace the deliciousness – or at least, the deliciousness that *you* can eat!
Getting there... is it a nightmare? I hate long journeys!
Look, it's not *right next door*. But it's also not a grueling trek. Luxembourg is easily accessible by plane, train, or car from a lot of major European cities. The hotel can arrange transfers, too, which I highly recommend. Imagine: you arrive, you're whisked away, and you don't have to deal with rental car mishaps or confusing public transport. Worth it. Trust me.
I once tried to drive in Luxembourg and got lost... *badly*. Ended up in a field, with a very confused cow. (The cow was less stressed than I was, by the way.) So, yeah, let someone else do the driving. It's worth it for the peace of mind, and to avoid a potential hay bale-related incident.
What about the cost? Is this going to bankrupt me? My bank account is already crying…
Okay, let's be honest: a luxury getaway isn't cheap. But (big but!) it's worth it. Think of it as an investment in your sanity. Seriously, the feeling of pure relaxation you get from a place like this is priceless. There are different rooms/suites at different price points, so do your research and see what works for you.
Also, consider the value you're getting. Impeccable service, stunning surroundings, incredible food… it all adds up. Look for deals, travel in the off-season (spring/autumn are beautiful!), and maybe, just maybe, start saving now. Think of it as a reward for all your hard work. And, hey, you can always cut back on that daily latte to help fund your escape. (I say as I'm cradling my third cup of coffee.)
Okay, you've convinced me. What's the one thing *not* to miss? Spill the tea!
Alright, here's the REAL deal. The one thing you absolutely, positively, cannot miss? **The Sunset in the Garden**. I'm not even joking. Find a quiet spot, grab a glass of something fizzy, and just *watch*. The colours are insane. They shift and change and paint the sky with every shade imaginable. The air smells of flowers and damp earth, and the world just... *stops*.
Seriously, I've seen some stunning sunsets in my life, but the ones in those gardens... they're something else. It’s the kind of moment that makes you appreciate being alive. It makesHotel Haven Now
