Maurerhof
Vipiteno, South Tyrol, South Tyrol
Alpine apartments on a working farm above Vipiteno, in the German-speaking end of Italy.
Why we love it
South Tyrol is Italy in law and Austria in almost everything else — the farms are Höfe, the food is dumplings, and the Roter Hahn scheme that certifies working farms for guests is one of the better-run rural tourism systems in Europe.
Maurerhof is one of those farms: apartments with their own kitchens and bathrooms, cattle outside, and the Stubai and Zillertal ridges on the skyline. Vipiteno's arcaded main street is a few minutes down the hill.
Best for: mountain walking with a farm breakfast, at Austrian standards and Italian prices
