The rooms

Conviviality is key in our holiday chalet! The kitchen is equipped with cookware, dishes and all the tools you need to prepare memorable holiday meals and the large table really makes for a quiet family-friends evening with good chats, fine wine and local beer. Spätzle, Knödel, Kaiserschmarrn … At the end of a day, happiness will be greater if the pan sizzles on the stove with traditional South Tyrolean specialties. For a 100% South Tyrolean meal, don’t forget to say: “Mahlzeit!”.

The floor-to-ceiling windows bring in all the sunshine and give a breathtaking view over the surrounding mountains, consisting of the Zillertal Alps and the Rieserferner Group.

Stube was the name given to the only heated room of the house. The traditional wood stove is the protagonist of the room, gathering the whole family with its gentle warmth to eat, pray, kneading doughs for bread, writing letters, or do arts and crafts together.

The Stube was, and still is, the heart of Alpine houses. Today, as in the past, this room still radiates calm and comfort, inviting people to spend a pleasant time together in a homely atmosphere.

What a perfect nap spot. Try this once, and you will never want to take your nap anywhere else! You can tell the social class of the family just from the stove: the Kachelofen is the majolica stove used in the richest environments, whereas the Bauernofen is the stone-made stove that used to warm the less wealthy families. Near the stove, housewives used to place the bread dough to rise, or thick wool clothes to dry. A habit that still appears in today’s stube, where hikers and skiers lay their jackets to dry after a day in the snow!

The Tannhäuser accommodates up to 10 guests, who share the six bedrooms of the house. The house has three single rooms, one double, one triple and one twin room, all fully furnished with bed, wardrobe, quilts, radiator, carpets and chairs. Additional woolen blankets are available in the bedroom wardrobes, to warm up your evenings if winter temperatures are particularly harsh.

Hay container, milk cans, cowbells … As you probably have already guessed, what is now the bathroom was once the barn of this farmhouse!

Now this room is kept comfortably heated by a radiator and includes two sinks, two showers and two toilets separated by an old stone farm fence.

The modern style of this room sets the sitting room apart from the rest of the house, but colours and materials have been selected to create a pleasant-to-the-eye environment in total harmony with the rusticity of the entire chalet.

In our chalet, the many objects and decorations are not dedicated only to farmers. Several hand-made chandeliers decorating the house are a tribute to another important artisan figure of past times in South Tyrol: the blacksmith. In particular, the chandelier of the sitting room was forged in a smithy located in the Aurina Valley.
