Villa Athena

Assesse is quiet, with limited things to do, but there’s a train station and a return ticket to Namur costs less than €5 on the weekend. Namur has pretty much everything you might need. We were blown away by Villa Athena’s character, style, presentation, and lovely owners. Iris and Christian live next door, and Iris was exceptionally helpful and friendly. We had a couple of nice chats, and they gave us delicious fresh eggs from their chickens. They have all sorts of animals, from horses to dogs, cats, peacock, and chickens. Iris offered to bring over their pony chanel, but it didn’t work out since we were always home late after days out. The place is very snug, with just enough space for four. Upstairs there’s a double bedroom and an adjacent bathroom. Downstairs are the kitchen, living and dining room, a wc, and a bedroom with two single beds. It was super clean when we arrived and nicely presented. Outside, there’s a trampoline, climbing frame and slide for little ones, plus several places to sit. Our little one absolutely loved it. I’d recommend it to anyone! Just watch the doorways, they’re very low. I’m only 172cm and bumped my head a couple of times. I’d give it more stars if I could.
