A hotel-spa in the heart of Alsace
Le Clos des Sources is a three-star hotel set in Thannenkirch, a small Alsatian village between Strasbourg and Colmar, ten kilometers from the Route des Vins. The Stoeckel family runs a 33-room establishment with a chalet style, complete with restaurant, bar, fireplace and free parking. The place is best known for its wellness area, where nudity is allowed.
A generous wellness space
Across 1000 m², you'll find a heated indoor pool with jets, a jacuzzi, saunas, a hammam, three treatment cabins and a relaxation lounge. Access is by reservation, and the establishment deliberately caps attendance at ten visitors a day. That reduced capacity changes the whole atmosphere: this is far from the big crowded complexes, more of an intimate setting where you take your time.
Who comes here
The clientele mixes hotel guests, couples and families here for a spa day. It's a nudist relaxation spot in the naturist sense of the word, not a swingers' club: people come here for the warmth of the sauna and the calm of the hammam, not for a libertine atmosphere as such. Those looking for a wellness break in nothing but their birthday suit, and nothing more, will find what they're after.
Dining and environmental commitment
The restaurant, run by chef Marko Jerbov, serves local, seasonal cuisine regularly mentioned in reviews. The establishment also holds several environmental certifications (Green Key, Forest Effect Vosges, Natural Hotels) and keeps beehives as part of a bee protection program. The rooms, billiard table, WiFi and wheelchair access round out an offer that goes well beyond a simple spa visit.
What visitors say
Online reviews praise the quality of the facilities, the calm and composed atmosphere, and the sense of tranquility that the limited capacity brings. The food often comes up as a highlight of the stay, as does the house's environmental approach. People come here to recharge as a couple or family, in a polished Alsatian setting, more than for a night out among libertines.
