Garberhof
1st Place: Around 300 days of sunshine a year and as little rain as in Sicily—that’s the Vinschgau Valley. And here, in the historic village of Mals, lies the Pobitzer family’s 4-star superior hotel, the “Garberhof.” Since December 2022, the hotel has been rebranded under the motto “Silent Luxury.”
Silent Luxury—this is where dreams come true, where body and mind find peace, and where understated luxury blends with Alpine traditions. That is what the Garberhof stands for. The newly renovated hotel is an extraordinary design gem where this very “quiet luxury” is brought to life: clean lines, light colors, designer lamps, and light-filled rooms welcome guests to the Lounge Bar 1981, the panoramic restaurant, or the cozy chalets and suites.
In the generously renovated wellness area, spanning over 2,200 m², you can fully enjoy your break from everyday life. Italy’s largest hotel hammam ensures lasting feelings of bliss—a magnificent oriental paradise of sensually scented mountains of foam and fascinating plays of light. In the water world, featuring a Finnish sauna with a glass façade, a bio sauna, an experience shower, and an indoor pool, your worries simply melt away. In addition, an infinity pool in the wellness garden invites you to splash around amidst the greenery while enjoying the view of the imposing three-thousand-meter peaks of the Sesvenna Group. At the Mii:amo Spa, guests are pampered with soothing treatments, massages, beauty treatments, as well as wraps and baths. The wellness experience continues outdoors, where an enchanting wellness garden, a new natural swimming pond, comfortable loungers, and a breathtaking view of the Upper Vinschgau mountains await.
The culinary offerings at the Garberhof are also impressive. Classic and timeless rooms with large window facades, as well as cozy parlors, reflect the openness of the local culinary culture and provide an authentic and appealing setting for the exceptional quality of the cuisine.
The culinary concept is rooted in regionality. As such, ingredients are sourced from local farmers and producers. The menu features traditional South Tyrolean dishes, Mediterranean, and international specialties that are appreciated by both guests and locals alike.
At the Garberhof, the timeless rooms with their natural colors and locally sourced materials reflect a well-thought-out living concept. The rooms, suites, and chalets pay homage to coziness and reflect the beauty of nature in the Vinschgau Valley. Large window facades allow natural light to flood the interior; the only distraction is the sensational mountain panorama. By the way: In 2018, the Garberhof was honored with the ICONIC Award in the “Corporate Design” category. The ICONIC AWARD is one of the world’s most prestigious design and architecture competitions.
In winter, nearby ski resorts beckon, while in spring, summer, and fall, guided hikes and mountain tours await amidst breathtaking natural scenery. Yoga retreats (“Nama-Stay Weeks”), hiking and snowshoeing tours, and e-bike options make for a particularly varied stay. The on-site fitness room and bike rentals round out the leisure offerings.
