Lana, a picturesque location in South Tyrol, blends Mediterranean flair with Alpine charm. Surrounded by orchards, vineyards, and gentle mountains, Lana offers a perfect mix of relaxation and activity.

Lana tells stories – in its castles, on its paths, and in every glass of wine. A retreat that uniquely combines relaxation, enjoyment, and adventure.

The bread from Nals and Ultental, organic eggs from Vinschgau, tea from Bolzano, and coffee from Völs – each ingredient is a regional specialty. Honey, cheese, and yogurt also come from Ultental. The team maintains personal relationships with all farmers, producers, and suppliers, visiting them regularly. Depending on the season, fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, and fruits from the hotel's own black garden enrich the kitchen. Juices, beers, wines, and spirits are sourced locally, while the wine list impresses with selected drops from South Tyrol, the region, and Italy.

The kitchen team transforms regional and seasonal ingredients into delicious dishes – including vegan, vegetarian, or free from lactose and gluten. The breakfast buffet entices with a variety of specialties from local farmers and alpine pastures. In the evening, guests are treated to a high-quality 4-course menu (three choices) featuring the finest local ingredients and fresh fish from Italian waters. Lunch is available in the afternoon for an additional charge. The Schwarzschmied Bar and Lounge completes the experience with homemade and regional drinks, as well as creative cocktails.
