What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
In the quiet hamlet of Issing, beside the late-Gothic St. Nikolaus church on the village road.
The rooms
Rooms sit behind horizontal larch slats that shade the balconies, looking out across the village rooftops.
The spa
A heated whirlpool sits in the garden, and the stone pine relaxation room has an open fireplace and waterbeds.
At the table
Tasting menus bring Mediterranean touches to Alpine cooking, served in the Merlotstube or out on the garden terrace.
How it began
Hans and Christl Baumgartner ran the ancestral gasthof for decades before passing management to their daughter Melanie in 2022.
