VELPE55 is a holiday house in the Hageland region. And it’s a house just the way we like it: lovely architecture, pleasantly appointed with every comfort, a quiet location with nice views and all sorts of things to do close at hand. Situated in South Hageland in Opvelp - Bierbeek, which is where we live, too, VELPE55 offers you all of the reasons why this is such a great place to have a home: the charm of the countryside, close to attractive cities such as Leuven, Brussels, Liège, Namur and others – and right in the centre of some beautiful areas. Plus, of course, the Hageland, the Groene Gordel (Green Belt), Haspengouw/Hesbaye and Walloon Brabant are all nearby. In a word, it makes the ideal base for spending an exciting week exploring or a weekend away with family and friends.
