Nestled on a sun-drenched mountainside high above Merano is South Tyrol’s smallest five-star hotel. Crisp alpine air flows down from above, mingling with the glorious Mediterranean sunshine: This historic hunting lodge combines two apparently incompatible worlds into an art of fine living.

Welcome to the Fragsburg

Award-winning gourmet cuisine is just as much a part of life here as a simple, honest, homemade pasta dish. Step through the gateway and you leave everyday life behind to rediscover what it means to breathe. Lose yourself in the stunning mountain panorama to a glass of wine on the terrace. Or tune in to the sounds of nature as you recline on a canopy bed in the enchanted castle gardens. At the Fragsburg you collect moments of beauty rather than business cards. It is a place to enjoy life in its purest form. A place so unique it could be nowhere but here.

Some people call us a boutique hotel, others call us a luxury hotel, and then there are those who call us a hideaway. We see ourselves as a place of refuge. A place in which we artfully combine simple Alpine comfort with sensuous Mediterranean flair. A historic hotel that not only has its own sense of style, but also its own philosophy – that of fine living. This philosophy inspires people to take a closer look at things that seem familiar and to discover something new in them. For example, we have devised the world’s first alchemistic spa concept: The “Castellum Natura” offers rejuvenating treatments and specially created, freshly prepared care products that are based on ancient knowledge of South Tyrolean herbs and natural ingredients, handed down through the generations. The same philosophy is expressed in our 20 suites , each of which features a unique design, and in the steadfast character of our exquisite gourmet cuisine , which is testament both to Merano’s bountiful natural surroundings and the personalities of our virtuoso chefs.

The Fragsburg pays homage to life and its many joys. We aim to inspire you to lighten up and join us in experiencing the fine art of unadulterated living. Take a hike in the magnificent Dolomites, stroll the streets of Merano just 15 minues away, relax to guided meditations, breathing exercises and yoga in the Sanctuarium , or spend the afternoon lounging in the heated outdoor pool within the enchanted castle gardens. Time to live by your own rhythm.
