Welcome to Villa Aurora, our new haven of peace in Alsace

Villa Aurora — A Finnish spirit in the Kaysersberg valley

Guesthouse & Spa in Orbey — available for exclusive hire for group stays

Welcome to Villa Aurora, an authentic Finnish house tucked away in Orbey, in the Vosges mountains, just 15 minutes from the Alsace Wine Route and Kaysersberg, and 15 minutes from the mountains and Lac Blanc.

Designed as a place to relax and share, Villa Aurora invites you to slow down, enjoy nature and savour simple moments.

There are two ways to enjoy the house:

  •  As a Guesthouse & Spa, for couples and travellers who want a cosy stay with homemade breakfast and Nordic spa (on weekdays and some weekends).
  • For exclusive hire (at weekends or during certain holiday periods), for group stays of up to 12 people.

The cosy, comfortable rooms under the eaves are designed as cocoons for resting. But the Villa Aurora experience really comes alive in the shared spaces of the house and garden.

Here you can:

• relax by the wood-burning stove in the large living room with its cathedral ceiling

• enjoy the reading nook upstairs

• unwind in the Nordic spa with sauna and hot tub, freely available throughout your stay

• find a quiet moment in a corner of the garden, surrounded by fir trees

Villa Aurora is a simple, warm and lively place, somewhere between Finland and Alsace.

Taïka – an unusual place to stay

Taïka means “magic” in Finnish.

This unusual little cocoon, tucked away in the garden at Villa Aurora, takes its inspiration from the far North.

Rustic and welcoming, it offers:

• a large, comfortable bed

• a snug little seating area

• an eco-friendly toilet

• total immersion in nature

From the windows you can admire the majestic fir trees around the garden and enjoy the peace of the surrounding countryside.

A simple, magical refuge for an extraordinary night under the firs, with access to the shower and to the chalet’s Nordic spa (sauna and hot tub).

The Finnish log chalet

Villa Aurora is an authentic Finnish wooden house that brings a Nordic spirit to the Vosges.

Spacious and welcoming, the chalet is full of light and combines modern comfort with authenticity. It sleeps 6, for a comfortable stay in a natural, soothing atmosphere.

Ground floor

Upstairs

The cosy, bright guest rooms under the eaves have a simple, warm atmosphere, with quality Lin Vosges bedding to rest after a day out in the Vosges.

Their names come from Finnish:

AAMU – dawn

VALO – light

LUMI – snow

While the rooms are designed as cocoons for the night, the Villa Aurora experience really comes alive in the shared spaces of the house: the living room with its wood-burning stove, the reading nook, the Nordic spa and the different corners of the garden.

Upstairs there is also a shared bathroom with shower, bath and toilet.

Outside

• Private hot tub

• Private barrel sauna with glass front

• Large wooden terrace with garden furniture

The sauna and hot tub invite you to enjoy a true Nordic spa ritual, perfect for unwinding after a day of hiking, skiing or exploring the villages of Alsace.

The big wooden table is made for sharing delicious meals and good times with fellow guests.

Mökki - The family suite

In Finland, mökki means “cabin” or “holiday home”: a simple, cosy place where people gather to enjoy nature and time together.

It includes:
