LA MAISON GÜTH

The Güth de Hoste house, a living witness to the 17th century, is 330 years old and has remained true to its period. It is a flowery usoir that welcomes you. The well and its trough refresh this postcard image. On the small limestone path, the eye lingers on the half-timbering, a weaving of wood on a beige and delicate facade. The red shutters and doors warm up this old lady. From room to room, the visitor goes back in time. Tools and utensils of our ancestors are waiting. The atmosphere is subdued and comfortable in the small living room, low ceiling with small windows as in a cottage. The kitchen has a Flemish-style fireplace and skylight. In the barn, a horse mill still resounds with the sounds of agricultural labour. Everywhere, the stone whispers stories of days gone by. A refuge for artists, its garden hosts concerts and shows several times a year. The music enchants while the taste buds enjoy a cool drink and a home-made pastry. The escape can continue in the arboretum, a collection of local and exotic species. A wooden bridge under the foliage offers the opportunity to continue along the paths of Hoste.
