Zum Löwen In Verano

07/12/2025: From the first moment, Alexander makes you feel like you've known him forever. He's friendly, sincere, and always available, a genuine person that's hard to find these days. The apartment is truly spacious and has all the comforts, but the absolute highlight is the breathtaking view. At any hour, you're enchanted by the mountains changing colors throughout the day. The town of Merano seems so far away from you, as if you were looking at it from a plane window. In the evening, it transforms into a whirlwind of moving lights and colors... we could have spent hours just gazing out the windows or from the terrace. The place is immersed in nature and catapults you into a slower, healthier life, based on true principles. In the evening, we ate in their restaurant, an unforgettable experience. Every dish is prepared with what Alexander and his family produce, everything delicious, haute Tyrolean cuisine. One word: THANK YOU

21/10/2025: After a breathtaking and nerve-wracking drive through the vineyards east of Merano, the first thing you need is a drink to enjoy the picturesque view. You can get just that at the Greiterhof. The friendly host, Alexander, welcomes you with open arms and explains how things work on the mountain. This young man specializes in making everything himself, and that is his goal. Almost every bite that ends up on your plate is either homemade or at least from neighboring farms. A special highlight in the South Tyrolean calendar is the annual Törggelen, which, of course, is also offered here. In addition to barley soup, three kinds of meat, and doughnuts, local wine is served. Those who prefer a vegetarian meal should pre-order, as vegetarians are still just as uncommon at Törggelen as a South Tyrolean who speaks fluent Italian. What is particularly remarkable is that the host apparently runs the whole operation single-handedly. From taking your order to cooking, serving, and billing, everything is done with a smile and interspersed with short anecdotes from the life of a mountain farmer. The special hospitality is evident when you're offered a whole jug of schnapps for free. A true gesture of honor, considering the whole thing doesn't cost much.
