The Hotel Sigmundskron has a fantastic location in Frangart — right between Eppan and Bolzano — with stunning views of the famous Sigmundskron Castle.
The absolute highlight is the gorgeous outdoor area with a pool surrounded by grapevines. Rooms are understated and decorated in warm colors, and both breakfast and dinner are seriously delicious.

Every apartment has a kitchen and plenty of space. It’s also a great choice for families — the outdoor area features a lovely pool and a children’s playground.
A delicious breakfast is included in the price, and Villa Montis ticks all the other boxes too: free parking, a quiet location, and mountain views. Really hard to fault.
Belia Lofts - adults only
The Belia Lofts are an incredibly stylish adults-only property in Unterrain, near the starting point of the popular Three Castles hike in Eppan.
Each loft comes with a kitchenette and perfectly coordinated furnishings — the pastel tones give the rooms a wonderfully cozy feel that we really loved.
The outdoor area with its pool, garden, and free parking is equally impressive, and the views over Eppan are simply spectacular. One of our top picks for the best hotels in Eppan.
Schloss Freudenstein
Feel like you’ve stepped into a fairy tale — because you’re actually staying in a real castle. Schloss Freudenstein was built in the 13th century and has been transformed into a luxurious castle hotel.
The ancient walls now house a stunning modern and elegant interior, making the rooms an absolute pleasure to stay in. Outside, there’s a breathtaking infinity pool with valley views and a golf course on the grounds.
Service here is first-class — the staff is incredibly helpful and attentive, and breakfast is top-notch. If you’re looking to splurge on Eppan accommodation, this is the place.
Wineries with Accommodations in Eppan
Eppan is renowned for its wine production — it’s one of the true highlights of South Tyrol. That makes it the perfect region for a stay at a winery. Here are our two top picks.
Weingut Gasshof
Weingut Gasshof is a comparatively affordable winery stay in Eppan, set between St. Michael and St. Pauls right among the grapevines — and the estate is absolutely beautiful.
Being family-run, the service feels genuinely personal. There are just a handful of apartments, all with a kitchen, and a lovely pool outside.
On request, you can book a guided tour of the vineyards to learn about wine growing in Eppan. There’s also a small farm shop on site, and breakfast rolls can be delivered to your door each morning.
Ansitz Rungghof
Ansitz Rungghof is a winery with accommodations in Girlan — the undisputed wine capital of Eppan. From here, you can walk to the Montiggl Lakes or simply stroll through the vineyards.
The estate has a beautiful outdoor pool, and all rooms are comfortably and elegantly furnished in a boutique style — some even have their own whirlpool.
Bike rentals are available, and there’s a children’s playground for the little ones. The food is equally impressive: breakfast at the winery is excellent, and the on-site restaurant serves refined cuisine. Honestly, a wonderful all-round place to stay in Eppan.
Hotels in St. Michael
St. Michael is the largest village in Eppan. Here are our lodging recommendations for St. Michael.
Appius Design Suites
For us, the Appius Design Suites rank among the most beautiful small hotels in South Tyrol with a pool. All rooms are stylishly and modernly furnished — we’d recommend booking one with a balcony.
The small but impressive wellness area with sauna and whirlpool is a real treat, and the garden has a seasonal outdoor pool too.
With a hearty breakfast, bike rentals, and free parking, the Appius Design Suites have everything you need for a great stay in Eppan. Do note that this is an adults-only hotel in South Tyrol.
Hotel Christof
The Hotel Christof is a newer hotel on the outskirts of St. Michael with superb amenities. The décor is a cool blend of wood design and modern elements — really warm and inviting.
There’s a large outdoor pool and a beautiful wellness center with a fitness room and all the trimmings. The standout feature? The sauna with valley views. Seriously special.
Parking and a delicious breakfast are included in the price, and the hotel’s own restaurant with an excellent wine selection is well worth a visit too.
Where to Stay in St. Pauls
St. Pauls is the second-largest village in Eppan and borders St. Michael. Here are two great places to stay in the area.
Mederle Hof
Mederle Hof is a small property on the edge of St. Pauls that we especially recommend for families. The apartments are modern and spacious — plenty of room for guests of all ages.
The garden features a lovely pool and a children’s playground, and if the weather turns, the kids have an indoor play area to retreat to while you relax with a glass of wine.
The hosts are incredibly friendly and always happy to help. Free parking is available on site.
Residence Paulser Hof
Residence Paulserhof offers several vacation apartments in a typical South Tyrolean farmhouse. There are just a few units, all of them very spacious.
Being right in the center of St. Pauls means everything you need — supermarket, bakery, and local restaurants — is just around the corner. The property also has a restaurant serving excellent cuisine.
The hosts and staff at Paulserhof are warm, friendly, and always on hand to help with whatever you need. A solid, welcoming choice for Eppan accommodation.
