The space
The Similaun cottage is spread over 3 levels: 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large, fully equipped kitchen, and a cozy living room with a wood-burning stove.

A secure area is dedicated to bicycles, with basic repair equipment and a washing station. Marked trails start from the property: Bayehon Waterfall, Signal de Botrange (highest point in Belgium, 694 m), Reinhardstein Castle, Caillebotis de la Polleur.

In winter, the Xhoffraix and Botrange cross-country skiing trails are just a few minutes away, and the Ovifat alpine slopes are right across the street.

The Similaun cottage is conveniently located 15 minutes from the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, one of the legendary circuits on the world championship calendar. A perfect base for attending the Belgian Formula 1 Grand Prix, the 6 Hours of Spa (WEC), the 24 Hours of Spa, or the 25 Hours VW Fun Cup, and for enjoying peace and comfort after a day in the grandstands.

To recover after exercise: private Jacuzzi, billiards table, foosball table, wood-burning stove.

Upon request (minimum of 5 days' notice), our catering service offers meals, BBQ packages, or raclette/pierrade packages made with local products.

As in all Belgian vacation rentals, bed linen and towels are not provided.

Guest access
Guests at the Similaun cottage have private, independent access to the cottage, the terrace, and the adjoining garden. Private parking for 4 vehicles is available on the property.

Access to the cottage is preferably via a hand-delivered key; Etienne or Jill will welcome you upon arrival.

A physical key and a virtual key are also available for added flexibility if your check-in time cannot be set in advance.
