Restaurant L'Ermitage - Le Hohwald

It was for us a weekend in love, and we had taken advantage of a special offer that included two days in half board and a massage. We didn’t know the hotel at all, but the location at the hohwald is ideal, near Obernai, from selestat or strasburg, yet in the middle of nature, at 700 meters above sea level, with lots of possibilities of walks on marked paths. as I am a vegetarian, finding this type of establishment is undesirable. Upon arriving, once overcame the first shock of the "free university of samadeva", which surprises with its secty side of illuminated, one discovers a very beautiful building a little debridled, nestled in a green setting, on the heights, quiet. the landscape is idyllic and the environment very soothing. gardens (trees and lawns) are decorated with beautiful basins. Second shock, when entering, before the reception, a bookstore full of dvd and other opuscules on the reïki, the family constellation (whatever it may be) and works dealing with similar topics. Later, a more in-depth visit will even show a corner with some books and tutorials to “speak with the dead”... whatever it is, the host lady was smiling and nice, (and quite normal) as will all the staff during our stay. when we had a problem with the room (heating was not working), we were changed immediately. and to kiss on the only real black point of the hotel, I would say that the two rooms we could see had a rather small bathroom, with a narrow bath in which a fairly low shower is installed (I almost 1 m 80 and my husband almost 1 m 90...), and therefore uncomfortable. I stopped hitting at the shower gel dispenser before dismantling it. However, all the products offered (shampooings, soaps, etc...) were organic. The bed was 1 m 40 wide on 1 m 90, and there too, we had a little space problem. That said, the bedding was comfortable, the cotton satin sheets and the clean room, although it also a little deflected (such as the stairs and the corridors, by the way). We talked about it by going with the receptionist, and there seems to be other rooms with a larger bed and sanitary. a check at the reservation!the cleaning woman did not pass during our stay. at this point, we had already understood that the hotel hosts many seminars, and on the door is hanging a sign that the trainees must clean up their own room, but it seems strange that it is the same for "normal" customers. The physiotherapist, very nice and pleasant, made us a divine massage. Really. Mmmm...The dining room is beautiful is bright, and as there were few customers, we were able to benefit, each time, from a table near the window with views of the garden and trees. Very nice! The meals were elaborated and inventive, ranging from "good" (pepper stuffed with parmesan cream and smoked tofu) to "excellent" (roasted to vanilla on mascarpone bed), to "very good" and always surprising (carpaccio of beets to pesto, parsemé de dés feta). the whole bread with the seeds was excellent and very fresh. At breakfast we were offered to the buffet the same excellent baguettes as at meals, plus complete breads, excellent them too, homemade jams (very good), honey, cereals, yogurt, milk – cow and rice – bread of flowers (gender of gluten-free cracottes), tahin and butter. at the request, we could have cheese (in slices), fruit (for us, at the end of April, apples, oranges, kiwis) and an egg, cooked as we wanted. It was very good, but I who likes to eat salt in the morning, I have to admit that I would have liked a homemade tartinade, and even, in German, cucumber or pepper pucks... I have to say that I did not dare to ask, it might have been possible.For, again, and as every time, the staff was smiling, attentive and pleasant. The kindness of all the people we had to deal with has never been demented, whether it was the leader, receptionists or servers. Overall, the positive points were much more numerous than the negative points, we spent an excellent weekend!

In a beautiful place with lots of beautiful walks to do! with regard to the hotel our room was not very clean (3 spiders found), old carpet, decoration not at all current ! but fortunately we were very welcome!

I had the opportunity to stop at the restaurant in the fence. very nice, organic and vegetarian cuisine (it is rare). The staff is dedicated and smiling. A nice moment. Thank you. (Good to know: no alcohol on site, but the wine route is close!)

I went several times to the hermitage at the hohwald - outside of the many internships that go there, otherwise there is no room - having the chance to enjoy a table is squarely out in the beautiful season - to breathe the good air pure that there is up there - either in the harmonious view of the forest that surrounds this amazing place, in the rich history, in the calm and atmosphere cooking fresh, organic, or even biodynamic foods - nowhere else does the potatoes seem as good to me, frankly! - and the dishes, all vegetarians - even in the sausages are vegans - are tasty, scented, beautifully presented, gracefully served by a discreet and very smiling staff. No alcohol but an excellent alcohol-free beer to accompany the so-called vegan sauerkraut (a heresy, what, in the middle of alsace!) and then the water is very good in this corner. good coffee and also excellent teas. There is also a shop where you can enjoy it to buy small gifts of the kind natural wax candle, essential oil soaps, socks, Japanese incense, relaxation music. ! and then afterwards, you can go for a good walk or digest on one of the park's long chairs in front of it. short, a moment that does good in the belly, in the heart and in the head for less than 20€

Everything is excellent. The atmosphere is very friendly and the abundant and delicious dishes. vegetarian cuisine exclusively but highly gastronomic. very good value quality price . I recommend it to all those who want to feed themselves differently and take care to think about what they eat.
