Ferme-Auberge du Kohlschlag sur Soultz-Haut-Rhin

27/07/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An authentic address you absolutely must discover! The Auberge du Diefenbach is a true gem nestled deep in an Alsatian valley. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with a warmth and simplicity that are becoming increasingly rare. Jean-Claude, the owner, is an extraordinary character. A car mechanic with a passion for classic cars, he also runs his own sawmill, delivers wood to the surrounding villages, and pilots autogyros and small planes... yet he still finds the energy to liven up his inn every Sunday, transforming it into a dance hall for seniors! At the keyboard and with his singing, he creates a convivial and infectious atmosphere, accompanied by his daughter, whose voice is remarkable. As for the food, the meals feature simple, generous, and delicious local specialties. The value for money is exceptional, both for Sunday lunch and dinner. The cottages are comfortable, very well-equipped, and impeccably maintained. Jean-Claude is always attentive to his guests' well-being. A freshly baked kugelhopf and an excellent bottle of Alsatian wine await you. A quality barbecue is available, as is a pleasant, tree-lined, and flower-filled terrace, perfect for relaxing. On some Saturdays, this terrace also hosts family gatherings in a warm atmosphere and a magnificent natural setting. We came to discover Alsace and found much more than just accommodation: a place to live, to meet others, and to experience authenticity. No need to travel hundreds of kilometers to feel the soul of Alsace; it's right here. An address we recommend without hesitation and where we will gladly return.

15/07/2026: I was there for a wedding and it's really huge, there's plenty of space, and it's in the middle of the forest. Just one thing, but it doesn't even warrant taking away a star: the sign indicating arrival leads to two paths; take the one on the left.
