"Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire."
(Gustav Mahler)
 
The house was first mentioned in an official document on the 20th of August 1581.
The farm in blockhouse style has been in existence for more than 200 years. In 1880, the great-grandfather Anton Raffeiner, a shoe-maker, acquired the building and started the accommodation business at the start of 1900. The first guests started to visit during the summer.
Since agriculture was only enough to meet the personal needs, the great-grandfather Anton Raffeiner specialised in shoe-making. His business with 6 employees flourished throughout Italy. After our father Anton Raffeiner ended the shoe-making business in the 60'ies, the family started concentrating on tourism. Locals met for a glass of wine. All rooms were renovated at the beginning of the 70'ies, and adjusted to the standard of then. The new building and the winter garden were added and renovated from 1992 - 2003.
The new wooden building was ready to be moved into in December 2006. All of our 20 rooms are individually designed, and hence unique.

South Tyrol's biggest Nature Park comprises the entire Tessa Group - a vast alpine mountain landscape between the Senales Valley (west) and the Passiria Valley (east). These protected areas ensure our landscape and nature are preserved. Hiking in this unspoiled mountain world is of course a unique adventure.
The Val di Fosse Valley amidst the Tessa Group Nature Park is one of the areas with the most game in South Tyrol. Here you count more chamois and ibex than there are inhabitants in the entire Senales Valley.
 
The probably most interesting and most beautiful hiking path in the Alpine region is the Merano Alpine Path. This alpine path is accessible almost all year and extends over a distance of 100 km. It takes between 4 and 6 days to hike the entire route. This hike can however be started or interrupted at different spots.
