A prince’s castle that forms part of the Vinum Hotels South Tyrol
Castle-like atmosphere with historical wine cellars

Behind these castle walls you’ll find a very special and elegant little boutique hotel with historical wine cellars, a gorgeous terrace and a sophisticated lounge. With eight rooms and four suites, SCHLOSS PLARS is less a hotel than a romantic refuge, a place of repose and most importantly a place with a strong sense of harmony. Here all sizes fit together, and likewise all styles; nothing is overdone or intended solely to create an effect.

Andreas Theiner, the owner of the castle and also the winemaker, offers custom-tailored wine seminars as well as wine hikes with tastings. Irene Theiner, meanwhile, delights guests at the hotel’s lavish breakfasts, where her many culinary creations and homemade treats are served.
