A quality label

Proud to display the new Gîtes de Wallonie sign: we fully adhere to their charter for quality tourism.

The next few days are expected to be dry, with a beautiful blue sky and autumn colours illuminating the Valley of Peace.

Perfect weather to (re)discover our beautiful region and enjoy some local tourism.

We still have a little bit of space left for the next few days: take advantage of it!

A 5-star return

A huge thank you for this superb 5-star review!
Our guest from Switzerland loved the comfort of the Hourpes gîte, ideal for a long stay.

He also enjoyed the surrounding calm between the Sambre and the forest.

A real breath of fresh air in the heart of nature!

An experience he highly recommends… and which fills us with joy (no need to tell you)!

La monnaie locale - le Carolor
29 Oct 25

Official partner of Carolor

The Gîte de Hourpes is now an official partner of Carolor – the local citizen currency of Charleroi and the Upper Sambre region https://carolor.org

✅ This means you can now pay for your night at the gîte in Carolor!

💚 Why is this important?

By accepting a local currency, we contribute directly to strengthening the local economy, supporting local producers, artisans and businesses, and circulating wealth locally rather than seeing it leave for elsewhere.

🌱 Local currencies encourage more responsible, humane and sustainable consumption.

We are proud to be part of this dynamic!
