Getting Here
Sanssouci Palatina is located in Klingenmünster, in the Southern Palatinate wine region of southwest Germany.
The house sits between vineyards, forest, spa towns and the wonderfully atmospheric and gastronomic region of Alsace in France — rural enough to feel far from everyday life, but unusually well connected to the wider European travel network.
