Stay in a house that dates from 1450.
Yet is absolutely modern.

Since its restoration, the Fink family’s townhouse now has nine suites. In the course of the works the original stone walls and vaults were carefully restored to their original state and extended according to the principles of naturalness and sustainability. The suites embody the ancient monastic atmosphere of this centuries-old building.

Suites

Centuries-old stone walls and vaults, oriels and ceiling frescoes all characterise the atmosphere of the nine beautiful suites. The design of the furnishings is based upon the power of simplicity, with furniture made of old wood, alongside cosy fabrics and carefully applied stylistic touches.

Old wooden doors and stone walls, round arches and oriels adorned with carefully restored ceiling frescoes characterise the atmosphere in the suites. The elegance and simplicity of the furniture and fittings harmonise with the aura of the historic rooms.

The carefully selected furniture, lamps and fittings in the suites, most of which were designed in-house, combine a purist design with the demand for high-quality materials. The restrained aesthetics draw attention to the effect of the rooms themselves.

A spa under old vaults

An old wooden door leads to the spa area, which extends towards the inner courtyard: a place of tranquillity in the midst of the city. Surrounded by dense greenery, a Roman bath with cold and warm water pools sits naturally between the walls of the inner courtyard. The inner rooms with their wooden sauna, steam bath made of stone and the relaxation area under historic vaults with an open fire together create a private retreat. Herbs from Brixen’s monastery gardens fill every room with their fragrance as they are added to the heat.

The taste of nature

The cuisine here is characterised by innovatively interpreted dishes based upon historical recipes. Chef Florian Fink follows a philosophy of simplicity and naturalness: the fresh ingredients – mainly vegetables, fruit and herbs – for his seasonally changing menu come from the gardens of Brixen’s monasteries and organic farms.

From the Brixen arcades, the fink restaurant is easily visible through the window arches. A wooden door leads into the interior past a selection of South Tyrolean wines. In the course of careful restoration work, the historic walls and vaults were once more revealed. The effect of the elaborately restored walls is emphasised by furniture made of old wood and table linen created from soft fabric.

The menu offers seasonal dishes made from ingredients grown in Brixen’s monasteries and gardens. The choice changes with the rhythms of nature, supplemented with daily recommendations according to the fresh foods available.
