Welcome to Villa Aurora, our new haven of peace in the heart of Alsace
Villa Aurora — A Finnish spirit in the heart of the Kaysersberg Valley
Guesthouse & Spa in Orbey — available also for private group stays
Welcome to Villa Aurora, an authentic Finnish house nestled in Orbey, in the heart of the Vosges mountains, just 15 minutes from the Alsace Wine Route and Kaysersberg, and 15 minutes from the mountains and Lake Lac Blanc.
Designed as a place to relax and share simple moments, Villa Aurora invites you to slow down and enjoy nature.
The house can be experienced in two ways:
As a Guesthouse & Spa, ideal for couples and travelers looking for a cosy stay with homemade breakfast and Nordic spa access (during the week and some weekends).
As a Vacation rental (on certain weekends or during holiday periods) for groups of up to 12 people.
The bedrooms, cosy and comfortable under the eaves, are perfect little retreats. But we feel that the real Villa Aurora experience happens in the shared spaces of the house and garden.
You can for example:
• relax by the wood-burning stove in the living room with a cathedral-ceiling
• enjoy the quiet reading corner upstairs
• unwind in the Nordic spa with sauna and jacuzzi, freely accessible during your stay
• find a peaceful spot in the garden by the fir trees
Each morning, a homemade breakfast with a Finnish touch is served to start the day.
Villa Aurora is a simple, warm and lively place between Finland and Alsace.
Taïka - Unique nature retreat
Taïka means “magic” in Finnish.
This small and unusual cocoon, nestled in the garden of Villa Aurora, is inspired by the spirit of the Nordic North.
Rustic and cosy, it offers:

From the windows, you can admire the majestic fir trees at the edge of the garden and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
A simple and magical retreat for an unforgettable night under the trees, with access to the chalet’s shower as well as the Nordic spa (sauna and jacuzzi).
