Van Oys Maastricht Retreat: A Castle Estate in the Hills of Limburg

Van Oys Maastricht Retreat is a castle estate in the rolling green countryside of Limburg at Eijsden, on the Meuse just south of Maastricht near the Belgian border. The Leading Hotels of the World retreat blends the grandeur of a historic château with a nature-led, sustainability-driven philosophy that runs through everything from the grounds to the plate.

The dining is rooted in the land. Restaurant Maes serves cuisine du terroir from ingredients found within a 50-kilometer radius under chef Raymond Remmen; crEATe brings nature indoors beneath a suspended tree trunk under chef Guido Braeken; and Bar César offers cocktails and small plates on a terrace over the Limburg countryside.

For a tranquil castle stay near Maastricht, Van Oys is a standout.
