Le Morimont is a secluded country hotel set in an 18th-century farmhouse amid the forests of Alsace, right by the ruins of the medieval Morimont Castle. This family-run haven has been lovingly renovated with traditional stone, timber beams, and hemp linens to honor its heritage while meeting modern eco-standards. The hosts fell in love with this location and vowed to preserve its beauty – today Le Morimont stands as a model of Green Key-certified sustainable hospitality. Here you’ll find no TVs in rooms and spotty mobile signal, by design: it’s a deliberate digital detox so guests can reconnect with nature and history. In the mornings, sunlight pours through old wood-framed windows, and you might hear nothing but birds and distant cowbells. The hotel generates a feeling of “perfect peacefulness,” surrounded by meadows, woodlands and abundant wildlife. Its 18 rooms – including family suites – are cozy and unique, furnished with natural fabrics (cotton, linen, hemp) and upcycled materials. At the on-site restaurant, Le Salad’Bar, seasonal vegetarian and local Alsatian dishes take center stage. Fresh produce comes from nearby farms and the hotel’s own garden whenever possible, showcasing the owners’ farm-to-table ethos. They even craft homemade jams and herbal teas from the property’s orchard and herbs. Electricity use is carefully managed (the thick stone walls provide insulation, and low-energy lighting is used), and waste is rigorously sorted and composted – fitting for a hotel that “strives to exalt beauty while respecting it”. Guests are encouraged to explore car-free: borrow a bicycle or hike directly from the doorstep into the pristine Swiss Jura foothills. Nearby, the castle ruins whisper stories of the past – and Le Morimont even incorporated elements of the old castle (like a centuries-old spiral staircase) into its architecture, blending history into the guest experience. In the evenings, candlelight and a crackling fireplace create a warm ambiance with near-zero electricity. Le Morimont proves that simplicity, slow living, and sustainability can offer a luxurious experience for soul and senses alike. No wonder visitors often wish they could stay “about a year” to soak in the magic of this rare place.
