Hotel with half-board in South Tyrol with local products

Pleasure first …

…and then? There’s always pleasure here, from morning to evening, with all the joy and excitement in between. Our hotel in South Tyrol offers you lots of culinary treats!

But “pleasure” here is not limited to the table, it also includes that sense of fulfilment and gratitude for what life and nature have to offer; it’s an approach to living that we want to celebrate and share with you throughout your stay.

The most important meal and a positive start to the day:
breakfast

“The early bird catches the worm,” as they say, and our bees are also well aware of that, because nectar is always sweetest when it’s wet with dew.

the Birkenbrunn’s gourmet menu

“What comes from the heart, goes to the heart,” said the poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. And the kitchen at the hotel Birkenbrunn encapsulates the meaning of these wise words: everything that’s boiling in pots, sizzling in pans or roasting in the oven is made with love and dedication by the two house chefs, Josef and his son Thomas.

  • Pure pleasure: 4-course menu with large salad buffet
  • Summer: barbecue evenings with tasty meat specialities and various salads
  • In honour of the bee: honey-themed gala dinner with honey interlude
  • From grandma’s recipe book: South Tyrolean evenings with delicious traditional cuisine
  • From producer to consumer: we grow our own vegetables, aromatic herbs and seasonal fruit
  • Small but fine selection of wines: selected labels from the wineries of South Tyrol

Goodness at your fingertips:
the produce from our vegetable garden

During the summer months, senior hosts Joseph and Elisabeth cultivate the vegetable garden, ensuring a good supply of fresh, crisp vegetables such as tomatoes, courgettes, cucumbers, pumpkins and types of salad. Thomas and Evelin, on the other hand, tend the beds of lush aromatic herbs, which fill the garden air with their fragrance.

Finally, the big fruit trees in our grounds not only offer pleasant shade in summer, but also provide delicious pears, plums, cherries, walnuts, kiwis and grapes, for us to enjoy throughout the year.
