Castel Hoertenberg
Bolzano, ItalyA new life for Castel Hörtenberg
The Family entrusted the renovation project to Anna Podini, the youngest one within the real estate family. The latter, together with her father Alex, has overseen every single step of the project. Her youth and a cosmopolitan upbringing, along with the support of a team of architects, has made the difference, giving Castel Hoertenberg its unmistakable allure. A mix of ancient history blended in with an urban style and traditional craftsmanship. Today the Castel Hoertenberg is a place of today, full of life where exclusive comfort, esthetic sensibility and excellent service are one. A place where there is no room for sentimentality but where one lives in the present. In its most beautiful form.
Spa – or Health through Water, is based upon its roots in the Roman civilisation and brings with it the cult of Man and Beauty. Love for the body discovered since centuries can be considered a gift that the ancient populations have transmitted to our modern epoch. In this place, the sensibility is stimulated to put us into contact with the sensations of nature and the elements that surround us. The way to do it and the indicated treatments in this splendid renaissance castle from the XVI c. allow us to defend ourselves from anxiety and daily stress, giving us a sensation of pure inner well-being as part of nature waiting to be discovered.

Bolzano, the capital of South Tyrol region, is a city split between two cultures, and this is where its charm comes from. It’s a city with a thousand different shades: culture, languages, traditions, gastronomical heritage, wine culture and a Mitteleuropean charm. A short ride on the cable car will take visitors to the mountain behind the city (1220 mt), the perfect destination for hikers, for outdoor lovers and families. Bolzano is also a place for wine lovers; it’s the starting point of the South Tyrol wine route, a winding road through ancient towns, unspoilt hamlets, blue lakes and castles.
For centuries, Bolzano has been the privileged centre of commercial exchanges between Italy and Germany.
Today, the capital of Alto Adige has become a cosmopolitan city that knows how to be lively, cheerful, modern and yet refined all at the same time!
