1477 Reichhalter
A house that is more restaurant than hotel — and that is precisely its strength. Small, pared-back, historic, but not nostalgic. The 1477 Reichhalter feels like a place that has grown over centuries: honest materials, old structures left deliberately visible, and a kitchen that defines the stay.

Our take
Why we love it
The house dates from 1477 — and was not polished smooth in renovation, but deliberately left raw. Old structures, honest materials, no staging.
Restaurant first: guests come primarily for the food. The kitchen is regional, modern, focused — and you feel it in every course.
Only eight rooms — boutique in the genuine sense. No bustle, no mass, no standardisation. Each room feels different.
Lana rather than Merano: quieter, more authentic, less touristy. The right place for this concept.
No spa of its own — a deliberate decision. The focus is on food, atmosphere and place; the large spa is 350 metres away at the Schwarzschmied.
Food & Drink

Restaurant first — the hotel is the extension.
Restaurant & Café
A small but refined café and restaurant with a seasonal menu that changes every month. Fifty seats spread across two parlours and — the favourite spot in summer — the terrace beneath the vine pergola. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and aperitivo; awarded by Falstaff for its kitchen.
Espresso Bar & Rooftop Terrace
The ground-floor espresso bar is a meeting point over coffee and house-made croissants from the in-house pâtisserie. For warm evenings: the small rooftop terrace with views over the roofs of Lana, reserved exclusively for hotel guests.

A House with History
For more than half a millennium the Gasthaus Reichhalter has shaped life in the pedestrian zone of Lana. Once a mill, later a coffee house and most recently a butcher's shop with an inn — since the summer of 2018 it has been a boutique hotel with eight rooms, a café and a restaurant.
Klaus Dissertori carefully rebuilt the house, first mentioned in 1477, and reopened it as an "Eat & Sleep" address. The venerable traces of the past were preserved and combined, with restraint, with contemporary design. Two charming parlours with an espresso bar form the heart of the house — a meeting place for locals and guests over coffee, aperitivo or dinner.

Rooms & Architecture
Pared back to the essential
With just eight rooms, it is easy to feel at home here. Architect Zeno Bampi brought a clear, calm line into the building's grown architecture; interior designer Christina Biasi von Berg married the unique setting with design classics and finds from the past.
The room names recall former owners and the crafts once practised in the house — Schönmüller, Erasmus, Balthasar, Helmsdorf, Mözpanckh, Mihl, Brodtbank and Stadele. Every room is furnished with artworks by Jasmine Deporta; two have their own tiled stove. A small rooftop terrace with views over the roofs of Lana is reserved exclusively for hotel guests.

A Kitchen From Its Own Fields
Earthy and refined
At the 1477 Reichhalter, the kitchen is all about authenticity and the seasons. The menu changes monthly, and almost every ingredient comes from close by — from local suppliers, directly from the region's farmers, or from the house's own Arnica field. The bread comes from the South Tyrolean baker; the salami is made in-house.
Alongside fixed institutions such as the Martini goose dinner and the New Year's Eve aperitivo, seasonal speciality weeks enrich the calendar — from stockfish hash in April to tasting menus on the "garden to table" principle and the game-meat evening. The restaurant has been recognised by Falstaff for its cuisine.

Spa & Activities at the Schwarzschmied
Just three minutes' walk away, guests have access to the sister hotel Schwarzschmied. There a generous 1,000 m² spa awaits, with panoramic windows onto the South Tyrolean mountains: indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, a steam bath, relaxation rooms, and massages and beauty treatments.
The Schwarzschmied's activity programme is open to guests too — daily yoga classes, guided hikes and bike tours. Its restaurant, La Fucina, serves refined slow-food cuisine made from organically grown ingredients.

People
The Hosts
The 1477 Reichhalter is family-run and part of the family of houses around the art-of-living and yoga hotel Schwarzschmied and the Villa Arnica. Klaus Dissertori revived the original idea of the good old "Gasthaus" as a gathering place for the community and brought it into the present: restaurant first, the hotel as its extension. Less a classic hotel operation, more a curated place with a personal signature.

Lana, South Tyrol
Metzgergasse 2, 39011 Lana, Südtirol, Italy
Lana sits near Merano — quieter, less touristy, surrounded by orchards and vineyards. The house stands in the historic centre, just 350 metres from its partner hotels Schwarzschmied and Villa Arnica, and makes a very good base for South Tyrol: hiking, wine and nature without the crowds. Rail travellers alight at the Burgstall/Lana stop and are collected free of charge; the nearest airports are Bolzano, Innsbruck, Verona, Bergamo and Milan.
