Castel Fragsburg

Almost like a fairy tale: the former hunting lodge Castel Fragsburg from the 14th century presents itself today, more than half a millennium after its construction, as an outstanding Relais & Chateaux five-star hotel. Guests stay in 20 stylish, luxurious suites whose elegance tells of times long past. Outside, the 50,000-square-meter Mediterranean castle garden beckons guests to take a leisurely stroll - the subsequent wellness afternoon in the Castellum spa is more than deserved. The spa offers an unconventional alchemical concept. Here, centuries-old knowledge flows into personal beauty treatments and healing baths. The herbs used for baths, masks or incense rituals come from the castle's own Soul Garden - and are carefully compiled according to ancient recipes from the "modern alchemist" Renate De Mario Gamper. In the evening, guests embark on a journey of discovery through the historic walls before hunger leads them to Prezioso, the castle's Michelin-award-winning gourmet restaurant. Here, chef Egon Heiss stages outstanding, healthy-purist South Tyrolean cuisine.
