Further renovations and the arrival of a new, young chef have transformed the offerings at this beautiful castle in the center of the small town. The à la carte selection, which is more tied to the local area, remains available at Stain, a classic Tyrolean stube that also offers outdoor service in the beautiful season. Meanwhile, "La Lumosa," a small and romantic setting with four tables, offers a more contemporary cuisine with a tasting menu that can be configured into five or six courses. There are twelve elegant suites for those wishing to extend their stay.

WebsiteA 17th-century farmstead run by the same family for four generations, initially as a produce farm (fruit and vegetables) before the younger generation expanded into dining in the early 2000s. The offering, based entirely on organic, sustainably sourced ingredients, is compelling, particularly delicious, and rooted in local traditions while casting a savvy, curious eye toward the present. Dishes are colorful and very generous; the all-female service team is warm and happy to explain the house philosophy. There’s also a shop where you can stock up on treats before you leave.
WebsiteSituated in a beautiful panoramic location a few kilometres outside Bressanone, this restaurant combines regional traditions with a modern approach thanks to its classic techniques and the use of Mediterranean ingredients in some dishes. There are also elegant apartments available, plus a private wellness space, for anyone wishing to extend their stay.
