A blissful little chateau in the Italian Dolomites, with spectacular gastronomy, wellness and vistas. Stay here for the unique atmosphere and a very restful holiday.
Stay at Castel Fragsburg
A castle stands isolated on the mountainside. You approach slowly from a delightful alpine road, twisting and turning through Dolomites nature. Entering the chateau it feels like time in standing still, as you’re welcomed by the charm and authenticity of a noble era. Settle into the unpretentious luxury, embrace the unique character of this 17th-century retreat, immerse yourself in nature. And as you explore you realise this isn’t just a castle from the past. It’s a refuge for the modern-day traveller, with Michelin dining, an alchemist spa, and a personalised service only an owner-operated property can deliver.
Location
Surrounded by mountains and vineyards, on the southern slopes of the Dolomites near Merano. It’s remote and silent up here, just not so accessible without your own car.
Rooms
This is one of Italy’s smallest five-star hotels and every suite is individually designed. These vary immensely. One has a historic four-poster bed, traditional wood panelling and a love seat. Another is a contemporary interpretation of a hunting lodge. All are spacious and have good bathrooms and views. Some have a tub with a view as well.
Who is it for
Come here for a relaxing break in nature, at an owner-operated castle hotel. It’s good for couples and travelling solo, but we wouldn’t recommend it for children. Getting here can be a challenge without your own car, but getting here is a spectacular alpine road trip.
Facilities & activities
You could happily spend a week at Castel Hotel Fragsburg enjoying everything on offer. The remarkable alchemistic spa has all the traditional and new amenities, plus personalised treatments and beauty products. There’s yoga, wine tasting, meditation and learning how to forage for wild food. Hiking is great too. And there’s a Michelin-starred restaurant where Egon Heiss creates tasting menus based on the surroundings.
