Hotel Preidlhof Luxury Dolcevita Resort*****

One of the most beautiful spa hotels in South Tyrol arose from a one-time orchard and wine farm. Formerly known as Ladurner, this small guesthouse welcomed its first holiday guests in 1966. Hotel Preidlhof Luxury DolceVita Resort splendidly situated at the foot of the Texel Group Nature Park is in Naturno near Merano. Hotel host Klaus Ladurner's grandfather was himself a winegrower and served his own wine in his Buschenschenke (local inn). The family has since been cultivating a little vineyard in Naturno.

Vernatsch and Pinot Noir cultivated by "Urschele-Egg", the hotel's vineyard, flourish on Sonnenberg just behind Preidlhof. A fruity, fresh wine with nuances of cherry and bitter almond.

Guests and like-minded wine aficionados can experience unforgettable moments of pleasure together with their decidedly wine-savvy hosts. This shared passion for wine establishes powerful yet unique relationships when it comes to tasting fine wines either out in the vineyards or in the winery. In addition to this, the charmingly rustic rock-cut wine cellar is the venue for weekly wine tastings of excellent international and South Tyrolean wines with the hotel's sommeliers.

Preidlhof soars at such culinary heights that their gourmet cuisine has been awarded three Gault-Millau toques. The committed kitchen team attaches particular importance to regionality and high-quality products producing so much in the kitchen itself with a great deal of love and know-how. Fine air-dried Speck (bacon), homemade jams and herbs from the hotel's own fruit farm and herb garden respectively, round off the excellent food selection.

The honey comes from their own beekeeping and the senior host often treats guests to a Vinschgau Marilleler, a regional schnapps speciality still distilled by hand in the hotel's very own distillery.

Wine also plays a primary role in the spa area. The wine sauna is distinctively unique - an exclusive experience available only at Preidlhof. In the quaint cellar, ceilinged with bricked arches, the scent of maturing wines makes you feel like you're in a cosy South Tyrolean wine cellar.

And the special insider tip for all those seeking rest and relaxation: the legendary moonshine sauna is idyllically located between the outdoor pools in the middle of the spa garden. After a visit to the sauna, relax in the Mediterranean park amidst magnificently tantalising fragrant flowers. Countless lemon trees, olive trees, cypresses and a multitude of herbs from all over the world transform this magnificent setting into a paradise for those in search of relaxation.
