The mountainous region of South Tyrol is famous for the beauty of its snowy Alpine slopes. Despite the harsh climate, locals have come to love this region. If you visit the homestead located high on the hillside and named after the Ibex, you will definitely join them.

Rooms to Enchant
The complex of buildings of Gourmet Hotel Ansitz Steinbock dates back to the 15th century. It has the appearance of a small castle that immediately attracts the attention, surrounding one with the fascinating beauty of the Middle Ages combined with modern times. The reconstruction of the building in 2022 transformed the rooms into 12 exclusive, individually furnished suites. High-quality solid wooden furniture and other elegant designer fittings and fixtures are complemented by the saunas and infrared saunas in the rooms. Frette bathrobes, in which to snuggle up after a bath, and beautiful lamps from the Italian brand of Catellani & Smith complete the idyllic atmosphere.
Gourmet Experiences for All
Apart from the charming interiors, guests can admire another advantage of the hotel, and that is the culinary mastery of the team of Chef Tomek Kinder. Be sure to treat yourself to a 5-course Alpine dinner in the luxurious Defregger Stube restaurant.

Breakfasts in the typical Tyrolean Stube dining room are also incredible, made from delicious regional products, including home-made jams, cheeses and smoked meats.
