THE UNIQUE STORY OF THE HOMEOWNER

Put on your army uniform, because at holiday home Bunker Richelle, World War II comes to life! You stay in a real bunker and sleep in beds that were used by real soldiers. Hidden behind the 1.30m thick walls you look through the holes where the cannon fired and you search for enemies on the horizon.

The bunker has been restored with great care. Old clothes, weapons and even a Morse code device tell you how things used to be here. Yet you don't miss the comfort. The stairs take you to a completely different world: a world of luxury, opulence and beauty.

The brand new upper floor offers a state-of-the-art living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a fabulous master bedroom and a stylish bathroom with walk-in shower. A big contrast? Yes, but one that will make you admire this unique vacation home even more.

Moreover, there is plenty to do in the area. From the idyllic village of Richelle you can take beautiful walks or cycle tours in this green and wooded area. You are in the heart of the Ardennes. And all this just a stone's throw from the Dutch border. Ideal for those planning a trip to Maastricht.

You can also easily travel to the lively city of Liège, where you can learn more about the rich history of the region and the bunker. During World War II, it was part of the belt of forts around Liege, consisting of a dozen other military bastions, including the famous Fort Eben-Emael. This is now accessible, as is the accompanying museum.

What is a cleaning audit charge?

We charge customers a small cleaning audit fee to prepare the room for the next guest, even as some outgoing guests prefer to clean the room themselves. Are such guests still required to pay a cleaning charge? Yes. Please let us explain.

While we appreciate guests cleaning the room themselves, we nonetheless conduct an audit to ensure that the room is in excellent shape. The cleaning audit fee we levy is for the time and effort involved in checking that our cleaning standards have been met, so that we can provide our customers with the best experience.
