Excellent and regional: food drink

To ensure that everyone stays seated at the table for dinner and breakfast and enjoys good food and conversation, there is no buffet at Hotel Petrus – all dishes are served. What South Tyrol has to offer is served on the plate. The quality of the products takes centre stage: much of the food is homemade, the kitchen team focuses on natural, regional cuisine with organic products and local producers.

Here he grows herbs, lettuce, radishes and many other types of vegetables that are used in the restaurants at Hotel Petrus. In summer, guests can visit the garden and look over the shoulder of the senior boss and hobby gardener.
