Gasthof Krone one hour south of Bolzano is not a hotel, but a traditional South Tyrolean inn where the hosts value good food, excellent wines, a beautiful atmosphere and tranquillity. You sleep in lovely decorated rooms up on the mountain, enjoy the old parlours, walk through gorges and up to mountain peaks, and in the evening you meet on the terrace for Aperitivi. Afterwards, there’s a typical South Tyrolean menu just like in the old days. More details can be found here.
Prices
Room approx. 119 euros per person including breakfast and dinner.

Also the 1477 Reichhalter in the old town of Lana near Merano is more of an inn than a typical hotel. But it was renovated in 2019 very smartly and with a lot of respect for its history. Now you stay in eight differently furnished historic rooms with creaky floors and modern bathrooms. And you have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the restaurant on the ground floor. What’s not to like here! At 1477 Reichhalter, residents from cool urban districts find themselves comfortable here. More details? Check this link.

Doubles with breakfast from 99 euros per person.

There you can dine sumptuously when returning from hiking (or skiing in winter) during the day. All further information on the new gem can be found here.
