We are also working on finding a suitable candidate for the separate gastronomic restaurant on the estate, with whom I will collaborate closely. The Cittaslow philosophy that Van Oys will follow particularly appeals to me, as sustainability in the food industry is becoming increasingly important.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2598821 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2598821\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e51dbc8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e51dbc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"747\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acbe3c7d-e5c8-4986-ae1b-24bdb605e588.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2334\" alt=\"acbe3c7d e5c8 4986 ae1b 24bdb605e588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acbe3c7d-e5c8-4986-ae1b-24bdb605e588.jpg 747w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acbe3c7d-e5c8-4986-ae1b-24bdb605e588-140x300.jpg 140w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acbe3c7d-e5c8-4986-ae1b-24bdb605e588-478x1024.jpg 478w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acbe3c7d-e5c8-4986-ae1b-24bdb605e588-717x1536.jpg 717w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acbe3c7d-e5c8-4986-ae1b-24bdb605e588-600x1285.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-672dcf0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"672dcf0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e8ff59 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5e8ff59\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e6938c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5e6938c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"747\" src=\"https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a067d589-4da1-4398-9eed-4f3e1e1b61ff.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2331\" alt=\"Nieuws\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a067d589-4da1-4398-9eed-4f3e1e1b61ff.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a067d589-4da1-4398-9eed-4f3e1e1b61ff-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a067d589-4da1-4398-9eed-4f3e1e1b61ff-1024x478.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a067d589-4da1-4398-9eed-4f3e1e1b61ff-768x359.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a067d589-4da1-4398-9eed-4f3e1e1b61ff-1536x717.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a067d589-4da1-4398-9eed-4f3e1e1b61ff-1320x616.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a067d589-4da1-4398-9eed-4f3e1e1b61ff-600x280.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4e8398 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c4e8398\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cce92ca ul-style elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cce92ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Source: Entr\u00e9e Magazine<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Marc Alofs, GM at Van Oys Maastricht Retreat, on the collaboration with Pascal: &#8220;He was looking for a new challenge and thought he had found it in southern Spain.

It owes its name to the knightly family Van Oys and has changed ownership several times over the centuries, the last time being in 2005. The Maastricht entrepreneur Michel Maes lived in the castle for a while but decided, in consultation with his brother Leon Maes, to give it a new purpose as a five-star Superior luxury hotel, a project that is currently underway.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Sustainability is a key focus. The sustainability concept referenced by Leading Hotels of the World in its acceptance letter pertains to the Cittaslow philosophy. This philosophy is the brainchild of Paolo Saturnini, the former mayor of Greve in the Chianti region of Italy. Cittaslow aims for a sustainable society with a strong social community in a high-quality environment. Cittaslow is innovative and employs the latest applications in communication, transport, production, and sales. At the same time, Cittaslow seeks and finds inspiration in the origins of things. Values such as authenticity, respect, time and attention for each other, and warm hospitality are the central themes that find concrete expression in the unique project of Van Oys Maastricht Retreat in Eijsden-Margraten, just a stone\u2019s throw from Maastricht.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-221d096 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"221d096\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbc74fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fbc74fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"747\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40af4271-8c53-4d46-ae9f-bfccbe30e6b5.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2322\" alt=\"40af4271 8c53 4d46 ae9f bfccbe30e6b5\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40af4271-8c53-4d46-ae9f-bfccbe30e6b5.jpg 747w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40af4271-8c53-4d46-ae9f-bfccbe30e6b5-140x300.jpg 140w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40af4271-8c53-4d46-ae9f-bfccbe30e6b5-478x1024.jpg 478w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40af4271-8c53-4d46-ae9f-bfccbe30e6b5-717x1536.jpg 717w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40af4271-8c53-4d46-ae9f-bfccbe30e6b5-600x1285.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-025f2c7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"025f2c7\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0dce473 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0dce473\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0b9bf9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c0b9bf9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"747\" src=\"https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6fb67970-81bc-40ba-8948-8a737b0675d3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2319\" alt=\"6fb67970 81bc 40ba 8948 8a737b0675d3\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6fb67970-81bc-40ba-8948-8a737b0675d3.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6fb67970-81bc-40ba-8948-8a737b0675d3-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6fb67970-81bc-40ba-8948-8a737b0675d3-1024x478.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6fb67970-81bc-40ba-8948-8a737b0675d3-768x359.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6fb67970-81bc-40ba-8948-8a737b0675d3-1536x717.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6fb67970-81bc-40ba-8948-8a737b0675d3-1320x616.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/pascaljalhay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6fb67970-81bc-40ba-8948-8a737b0675d3-600x280.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8bf5568 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8bf5568\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4826980 ul-style elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4826980\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Happy and Proud<\/strong><\/p><p>For the realization of their unique project, the owners enlisted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitality-management.nl\/zoek?keyword=marc+alofs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marc Alofs<\/span><\/a>, who previously earned a five-star Superior rating for La Butte aux Bois in Neerharen and Botanic Sanctuary in Antwerp.
