Schloss Englar  

Perched on a sun-soaked hillside in Appiano sulla Strada del Vino, Schloss Englar is a 15th‑century Gothic castle hotel surrounded by vineyards and fruit orchards. It sits about 6.2 miles from Bolzano and offers easy access to the Catinaccio massif, the Ciampedie plateau and the Col Rodella ski slopes for Dolomites day trips.

This intimate, family-run castle has just eight rooms, romantic gardens, a private chapel and the grand Rittersaal with an open fireplace. Rooms feature mountain views and some include seating areas; all have private bathrooms. The estate has been in the Khuen‑Belasi family for roughly 400 years.

Relax in the outdoor pool and garden terrace or linger in the castle’s common rooms. The property includes an on-site winery fed by sunny vineyards, a bar and a restaurant. Free private parking, an elevator for accessibility, a safe-deposit box and a tour desk for booking local excursions are available. Wake up to vineyard and mountain views.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property and free private parking. Elevator access and multilingual staff (English, Italian, German) make short stays convenient.

An on-site restaurant and bar showcase South Tyrolean flavors alongside estate wines produced from the castle’s own vineyards. Ask at check-in about cellar visits, tastings and local specialties.
