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.
