The South Tyrol, Italy’s northernmost region and traditionally known for its skiing, is becoming popular in the spring and summer as visitors come to experience warm hospitality, fresh mountain air and spectacular scenery. This is a culturally diverse region where the Italian, German and Ladin languages are spoken and offers exceptional cuisine – a Northern Italian menu with an Alpine twist, enjoyed in a typical rustic mountain ‘rifugio’ or one of the many Michelin-rated restaurants. Our featured hotels are within two and a half hours’ drive from Verona, Venice or Innsbruck and prices include car hire; however if you prefer, we can arrange private transfers from any airport or Bolzano station.

Formerly a 17th century hunting lodge, the Castel Fragsburg occupies a stunning private park and perches on a bluff overlooking Merano, the vineyards of the Alto Adige valley and the dramatic peaks of the Dolomites. The wisteria-clad Loggia and terrace offer a breath-taking panorama all the way to Bolzano, 35 kilometres away.
The capital city of South Tyrol, Bolzano is well worth a stay in combination with one of our recommended countryside properties. Highlights include the renowned archaeological museum, the pink sandstone cathedral and the colonnaded arcades of Via dei Portici.
Since the 1960s, the Wieser family has welcomed guests at this friendly Alpine hotel. A short drive from San Cassiano and 45 minutes to Cortina via the Falzarego mountain pass, this is a good base for those who wish to explore by car or on foot – the hotel team will recommend walks which include a stop at one of the many mountainside rifugi for a typical lunch.
