Boutique hotel in the nature and gastronomical cuisine with wild herbs in northern Italy
Integrity and respect for the environment have inspired the philosophy of the gastronomical restaurant Terra, around which the boutique hotel has been built. Terra is the highest-lying Michelin starred restaurant in all of Italy.
Heinrich Schneider, the Chef, has completed the comprehensive course about local flora given by the R&D research center of Merano's botanical garden and propose a creative haute-cuisine with edible plants from the surrounding pastures, that he collects himself. Each new recipe is elaborated with his sister Gisela, sommelier, for perfect wine and food pairing.
Guests can see the inside of the kitchen from the restaurant, the wine cellar is upstairs, each course is served on a plate made by an artist and glasses are hand blown.
In the rooms, Swiss stone pine coverings decrease the heart rate and provide a restful sleep. Unique pieces of natural felt compose a contemporary decor, the fair-trade blankets are bougt in South America and the amenities are made locally of mountain pines.
