Historic Renaissance manor house in the Überetsch style

The Tschindlhof was built in the typical Überetsch style. This South Tyrolean architectural style combines late Gothic and Renaissance elements with influences from neighbouring Italy. Bay windows, turrets, natural stone, vaulted ceilings and historical details give the estate its distinctive appearance.

Parts of the house are more than 500 years old. Nevertheless, the Tschindlhof is not a museum, but a personally run holiday hotel. Historic architecture and individually designed rooms are combined with modern amenities such as Wi-Fi, satellite TV, a minibar and contemporary bathrooms.

The location above St. Michael offers peace and quiet, without guests having to sacrifice proximity to the town centre. The centre of Eppan is less than one kilometre away as the crow flies; the actual walking or driving distance may be slightly longer.

19 rooms and suites, each with its own character

The hotel has just 19 rooms and suites. No two rooms are exactly alike. Names such as ‘Rosenstube’, ‘Kuckucksnest’ or ‘Weinberg’ reflect the history, nature and traditions of the region.

Guests can choose between different room categories, subject to availability:

• Princess Room

• Double room with balcony

• Double room without balcony

• Single room

• Suite without balcony

• Garden cottage or park room

• Professor’s Room with terrace

• Emily Suite with balcony

• Other individually named rooms and suites

The rooms can be decorated in a modern, rustic or romantic style. Historic walls, varied floor plans and individual furnishings are all part of the hotel’s character.

Room facilities

According to the hotel, all rooms and suites feature comfortable standard facilities, including:

• Bath or shower

• Toilet

• Hairdryer

• Free Wi-Fi

• Satellite TV

• Telephone

• Minibar

• Safe

Depending on the category, a balcony, terrace, separate living area or a special location in the garden or park may also be included.

As this is a historic building, the size, layout, view and accessibility vary. Guests with specific requirements should discuss their preferred category with the hotel before booking.

Princess Room

The Princess Room is one of the hotel’s most romantically designed categories. It combines the historic ambience of the estate with a balcony and is particularly suitable for couples who, during their South Tyrol holiday, value atmosphere and a personalised style of accommodation.

The exact size, view and bed configuration may vary depending on the room.

Double Room with Balcony

The double rooms with balconies allow you to enjoy the South Tyrolean air and the view of the green surroundings directly from your room.

A balcony is particularly pleasant during the warmer months – for example, for a peaceful morning, a short break to read or a relaxing end to the day.

Double Rooms without a Balcony

The double rooms without a balcony offer the hotel’s full standard facilities and are ideal for guests who spend a lot of time in the park, by the pool or on excursions.

Depending on their location, these rooms may feature a particularly historic layout or characteristic details of the old manor house.

Single rooms

Solo travellers will find suitable accommodation at the Tschindlhof in a personal atmosphere. Please enquire when booking to clarify which single room category is available and whether a larger room for single occupancy can be offered.

Suites

The suites offer more space for longer stays or for guests who would like an additional living area. Options include a suite without a balcony as well as various suites with balconies.

The Emily Suite is one of the hotel’s most individually designed rooms. Exact floor space, occupancy and room layout should be taken from the current room description or the specific offer.

Professor’s Room with Terrace

The Professor’s Room features a terrace and is ideal for guests who appreciate having their own outdoor space. Its unique design blends seamlessly with the historic overall concept of the estate.

Garden Cottage and Park Room

The Garden Cottage or Park Room offers a special proximity to the hotel garden. This category may appeal to guests seeking a quiet retreat with direct access to the park grounds.

The exact location, any steps involved and the facilities should be checked before booking.

Breakfast at the historic estate

A breakfast buffet awaits guests in the morning. Weather permitting, breakfast can be enjoyed outdoors. The garden and the view of the surrounding vineyards, orchards, castles and mountains create a particularly atmospheric setting for this.

The selection of hot dishes, regional produce and allergy-friendly alternatives on offer may vary depending on the season. Any special dietary requirements should be communicated before arrival.

Dinner on request

The hotel offers its guests the option to book dinner. This is a catering service for hotel guests and is not necessarily a public restaurant open to the general public every day.

Guests can choose from a range of menu options. The focus is on Alpine-Mediterranean cuisine, which combines South Tyrolean traditions with lighter influences from southern Italy.

Particular emphasis is placed on regional and seasonal ingredients. According to the hotel, some of the produce used is grown directly in the immediate vicinity of the hotel.

Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free cuisine

Vegetarian dishes form part of the culinary offering. Upon request, dishes can also be prepared to be vegan.

The official South Tyrolean accommodation directory also lists gluten-free options as well as special dietary and light meals. Guests with allergies, coeliac disease or medically required dietary requirements should definitely discuss their needs before booking.

Wine list featuring more than 150 labels

The South Tyrolean Wine Route is one of Italy’s most renowned wine regions. Wine is therefore a key focus at the Tschindlhof.

The wine list features more than 150 labels. Some of the wines on offer are grown on the estate’s own vineyards. The regional selection may include typical South Tyrolean grape varieties and wine styles, such as:

• Pinot Blanc

• Sauvignon Blanc

• Gewürztraminer

• Chardonnay

• Vernatsch

• Lagrein

• Pinot Noir

• Cabernet and Merlot

On request, the hotel team will recommend a wine to complement your chosen menu.

Historic hotel grounds

The Tschindlhof’s extensive grounds offer a special retreat. Ancient cedars, shaded seating areas and a large lawn create a peaceful, almost stately atmosphere.

Here, guests can:

• read

• have breakfast

• relax under ancient trees

• enjoy the view

• unwind after a hike

• spend peaceful afternoons

• round off the day with a glass of wine

The park is an important part of the hotel’s unique character and sets the Tschindlhof apart from a traditional city hotel.

Outdoor swimming pool and sunbathing lawn

The garden features an on-site outdoor swimming pool. The adjoining sunbathing lawn offers space for sunbathing and relaxation.

Opening times and water temperature depend on the season and weather. Pool heating is not explicitly guaranteed on the official website and should be enquired about in advance if required.

Children and non-swimmers must be supervised at the pool.

Family holidays

The hotel also welcomes families and, according to its own information, offers special family rates. Children under the age of three stay free of charge, in accordance with the currently published pricing information.

The specific pricing depends on room category, season, occupancy and meal plan.

The official accommodation portal lists a playground among the other facilities. Parents should enquire directly with the hotel regarding cots, high chairs, any extra beds and the appropriate room category.

Holidays with dogs

Dogs are generally permitted. The hotel currently quotes a price of up to 15 euros per pet per day, excluding food. Fees and conditions are subject to change and should be confirmed before booking.

South Tyrol Guest Pass and mobil & activ Card

During their stay, guests will receive the South Tyrol Guest Pass or the mobil & activ Card, according to current information.

The criteria taken into account include:

The historic character of the property and the use of public transport via the Guest Pass support a more resource-efficient stay.

The facilities include:

The municipality comprises several districts. The Tschindlhof is situated near St. Michael, the lively main town with shops, cafés, restaurants and public transport links.

According to the tourist board, the full walk takes around four hours and involves a climb of approximately 400 metres in altitude. A shorter route takes about two hours.

One section runs along a secured flight of steps approximately 60 metres long. Sure-footedness, sturdy footwear and a reasonable level of fitness are required.

Visiting times, guided tours and the opening hours of the castle tavern vary depending on the season.
