The water quietly splashes from the centre of the millstone and into the bowl. It calms the mood and allows you to leave your cares behind. Two pools flank the terrace that merges with the lower arcades and the bar. Dine romantically here between the cool and ancient walls that provide a tranquil timeout and a regenerating stopover for travellers. Hotel guests have the privilege of enjoying breakfast on the terrace, as well as ordering lunch and evening meals à la carte there.

Sedate white vaults alternate with beamed and wooden ceilings in the niches formed by the wood-panelled rooms of the Hanswirt in Rabland. Each alcove, each niche is special. The high-quality fabrics of the curtains and tablecloths complement the selected stylish table decorations and flower arrangements. Ancient and modern art objects are a delight at every turn. The Gurschler Stube, with its fresco dating from the 16th century, is appropriately named: the room features numerous works of art by Friedrich Gurschler, a contemporary artist and friend of the family from the Schnalstal Valley.

On the first floor the wood-panelled dining room, with round tables that seat ten, is ideal for celebrations. By expanding into the adjacent seminar room, 100 guests can be entertained here in comfort and style, creating a cosy farmhouse snug atmosphere for weddings, anniversaries and corporate celebrations. These rooms, with their intimate character, are also suitable for business meetings. The fully-equipped conference room, a separate bar and even a small lawn, are all ideal for spending time together, whether for conferences, training to celebrations.

Milestone and carter’s fare. You should absolutely take a look at the carter’s fare, outside the Hanswirt next to the Roman milestone dating from 46 AD. These testify to the long history of the Hanswirt on the Via Claudia Augusta. The old inn stands at the heart of the exclusive Hanswirt Ensemble, elaborately and stylishly renovated by your host Georg Laimer.
