In the lush folds of the South Tyrolean Alps, Castel Fragsburg reigns supreme – a secluded former hunting lodge turned Relais & Châteaux jewel, brimming with romance and noble heritage.

Suspended above Merano like a royal retreat in the clouds, this exquisite hideaway invites couples to live out their own fairytale, surrounded by rose gardens, soaring peaks, and the scent of alpine herbs.

For lovers of elegance and mindful pleasures, this is a holiday fit for Empress Sissi herself. Begin the day with an energising herbal infusion and mountain air on the terrace, followed by spa rituals rooted in ancient herbology.

Whether you're bathing in forest stillness or savouring nourishing cuisine by candlelight, Castel Fragsburg offers a rarefied sanctuary where romance, wellbeing, and natural beauty flourish in perfect harmony.
