For over 50 years the Ladurner family has been taking care of the mental and physical well-being of its guests. In 1966 it was a small pension with nine rooms for spa guests, today it's one of the best wellness hotels in Italy. The five-star house offers one of the largest spas in South Tyrol with over 5500 square meters of wellness area. Adults aged 16 and over sweat in the six-story sauna tower, do their laps in the sky infinity pool or enjoy privacy in the private outdoor spa lounges.

The Ladurners realized early on that relaxation is key on vacation. That's why, in addition to transformative wellness and time-honored practices such as Ayurveda, the hotel has medical staff on hand to help guests achieve a more relaxed and healthier self. The wellness hotel has already won several awards for this. Under the direction of Dr. Alexander Angerer, health checks to aesthetic procedures are offered; massages, wraps and beauty treatments are also available. In summer, you can relax in the Garden Spa with a treatment in the middle of the greenery. Since fall 2021, the Preidlhof has also been allowed to call itself a spa: health-promoting thermal water from the Bad Kochenmoos spring is fed into the indoor pool via a supply line. Tip: Underwater massages in the thermal water loosen even stubborn tensions.

Enjoyment isn't neglected in the Preidlhof: The restaurant has been awarded three toques and serves the finest specialties daily. Early in the morning you strengthen yourself at the rich breakfast buffet, in the evening guests feast a 7-course menu with suitable wine company. Very large rooms offer the opportunity to retreat to your own four walls; some suites offer a private walkway to the biotope, others score points with a whirlpool or private loggia. In the penthouse suites, a private butler takes care of every wish.

So that guests can continue to enjoy the beautiful nature of South Tyrol for a long time to come, the Ladurner family has joined the Turn to Zero initiative and has been making its contribution to more sustainable tourism and climate protection for years. The indoor pool is heated with solar energy, the in-house cosmetics line is certified organic. Only the best is good enough - that's why the hosts themselves are on site every day, taking care of the guests.
