Castel Fragsburg

The Fragsburg Castle hotel lies on a slope above the Merano valley. Wonderful and magical view from the room as well as from the restaurant veranda. Reaching the hotel needs somewhat careful driving.|The place is run in a most professional manner. Restaurant was very good. Service was professional and excellent. In fact, all facilities were excellent. The gardens around are fantastic and well taken care of. Swimming pool was nice. The old Castle above the hotel is nice to visit. |The rooms are spacious and with large windows and exquisite view. But in our eyes, the decor was plane and rustic and could be upgraded to the level of the entire hotel.

This was our seventh stop at Fragsburg. It never disappoints The location is stunning, the service impeccable, the food wonderful and the people the nicest of any hotel/resort we have stayed. Four days is really not enough. We had had a stressful few months and were totally able to relax and be pampered.

My wife and I recently stayed at Castel Fragsburg to celebrate our anniversary. The staff was kind and attentive, the food was incredible, and views are beautiful. Every detail was well thought out, and the overall experience was 5 stars. This place is a hidden gem and we will be back in the future.

After staying in hundreds or even thousands of hotels in 80+ countries, Castel Fragsburg is in my Top 3 hotels in the world. Confirmed after a second visit, the property and staff are EXTREMELY impressive. It is one of very few hotels that I recommend without hesitation to my friends and family as a must-see.||To begin, the property is just magical. Quiet, on a mountain with awe-inspiring views of the valley below, fruit trees around you, and mountains above you, it is an escape from city life, yet only a 15 minute drive down to Merano. With only 20 rooms it never feels crowded. It feels exclusive and so luxurious. Public areas and rooms are finely decorated, with attention to small and large details. Everything is in perfect position and you see the staff constantly making it so.||I have stayed in three different room types - a junior suite, the Soul Luxury Suite and a Suite Royal. Obviously, if you can afford the larger suite, do it. You won't regret it. This is one hotel that I really believe is worth the upgrade price, especially if you plan to stay on the property a lot. I happily spent full days between the room, restaurant, spa, and pool. The Soul Luxury Suite is quite an experience with balconies on two sides for different views that are difficult to stop photographing. The Suite Royal that I stayed in most recently was gorgeous too with fantastic views from a single large balcony that included lounge chairs and a richly decorated large room.||The generous and gourmet breakfast served in a classical space contributes to why this is one of my top hotels of the world. It feels like a Michelin star quality breakfast, served in a restaurant that deserves recognition just for its design and view, but also for outstanding food (buffet and cooked to order) with white glove service that should be a model for all restaurants around the world. ||Dinner is also served in the same restaurant, and while on the expensive side for the quantity, it certainly impresses. I was yet again impressed by the attentive and friendly servers and the sommelier who tailored his recommendations perfectly for my requests, and I found a very memorable wine and local acquavite, plus great conversation as a result. This is not a review for the Michelin star restaurant Prezioso, which I did not try. ||Hiking and biking trails/roads from easy to difficult are all around the hotel for more active days without driving. ||Thank you to the wonderful people working at Castel Fragsburg for making such memorable experiences. This is a truly special place that I hope everyone can experience at least once.

Excellent visit from Mon- Fri, a luxury location. Stayed in a Jr Suite with breathtaking view of the mountains and the valley. Huge windows and a porch were perfect. Breakfast was exceptional each day. Small touches of treats left at turn down - some sweets, dried flowers- were lovely. Beautiful pool area and grounds. Gardens amazing. It’s worth doing the 20 minute hike to the waterfall. A very serene location with attentive staff. Highly recommend.

We recently visited Castel Fragsbyrg for our honeymoon, enjoying the romantic package which included: champagne on arrival, half board and a couples massage. The hotel is beautiful, it really did have a magical feel to it. The location was perfect for us, we particularly enjoyed the privacy of being up in the hills. The staff were attentive and friendly. The evening food was absolutely Michelin quality, we were very impressed with the menu which changed each night. Our room was elegantly designed, however the only small issue we experienced was that there was no tea and coffee facility in the room, so we had to ask for tea and coffee at the restaurant and then take it to our room at an extra cost. We explored the grounds, including e-biking, the nearby waterfall and the medieval castle—all of which we would highly recommend. Also, the spa treatment was fantastic, we would highly recommend.

Location is stunning, perched on a mountaintop above Merano. Facilities are outstanding. Great suite, restaurant, staff, and peacefulness. Would return in a heartbeat. Staff were wonderful-friendly, helpful and resourceful. Pool was marvelous

The most magical experience! We booked a 3 day romance package for our elopement and it did not disappoint. Walking in and getting offered an appertivo on the terrace, the view literally brought tears to my eyes. We had half board with 5 course meals every night and the best breakfast with cappuccinos every morning. The staff was absolutely incredible and made us feel right at home ( even as Americans ) For our wedding, we walked to the waterfall nearby and said our vows, then headed to the Castle courtyard for the most unbelievable picnic where we had the castle to ourselves. They had no problem with us bringing a photographer and were just the most supportive of our intimate elopement getaway. I added a bouquet to our room for $60 and omg it was more than I could have ever wanted for my wedding bouquet. Seriously everything was above and beyond. I wouldn’t have done it any other way! Our package also included and incredible couples massage in the treehouse massage room! (How am I ever going to get another massage without the south tyrolean breeze on my skin!??) It was sad to leave this place and I hope to come back someday!

This is one of the best hotels to stay in if you're traveling through Italy. It has a very quiet location if you're looking to get away from any city noise. It has a spa and pool area that is the most beautiful oasis ready to provide rest and relaxation.

My husband and I were lucky enough to celebrate our first wedding anniversary at Castel Fragsburg, and boy I wish we hadn't - now my expectations for anniversaries are so high I don't think we'll ever find another place that compares! We can't say enough good things about our stay at Castel Fragsburg. The moment we checked in, we were invited for a welcome cocktail and snack on the patio overlooking the gorgeous Merano valley. We were then led to our beautiful, tranquil room where a little homemade treat from the spa was awaiting us. We had an amazing dinner in the restaurant. Michelin taste and presentation with none of the pretentiousness. But the real star was the breakfast - O. M. G. I have never seen a more beautiful breakfast spread in my life. I would've stayed in there all day trying everything if I could have. To burn off all of the delicious food, we explored Merano and went on a hike to a waterfall right behind the hotel - recommended to us by the great receptionist. We also spent a lot of time in the spectacular gardens at Castel Fragsburg. We were lucky enough to visit when all the roses were in bloom and it was spectacular. Next time, I'll be sure to bring my swimsuit to enjoy the heated pool. Overall, an amazing experience. We can't wait to get back!

I wish I had something exceedingly witty and clever to say about Castel Fragsburg, but all I can manage is a bit of drool on my keyboard. The Michelin-starred restaurant is to blame. Fresh, creative food with a most spectacular view at every meal. If you're not staying at the hotel, at least stop here for lunch. For those looking to kill time between feedings at the restaurant, Castel Fragsburg offers a fabulous assortment of options for guests - lounging by the pool, getting a massage in the spa, a leisurely stroll to a nearby waterfall. Or you could just simply sit on the balcony in your room and stare at the view some more.
