living at the Dietrichhof

the host family

living simply

At the Dietrichhof, hospitality is not just an empty word – we live it with honesty, enthusiasm and an open heart.

Reinhard is a farmer by passion. Deeply connected to the land and his animals, he runs the farm in harmony with nature. Szilvia puts a great deal of energy and warmth into making sure our guests feel comfortable – in the house, in the garden and through personal ideas and offerings that contribute to a mindful and relaxing stay. Alex and Aron grew up here at the Dietrichhof. Farm life, the animals and the daily work are a natural part of their lives. Each of them is following his own path, yet both remain closely connected to the farm and lend a hand whenever their help is needed. Working together and helping to carry the farm forward is simply part of our family life.

Together, we run the Dietrichhof as a family – guided by our values and our philosophy, and by the joy of creating a special place for our guests.

We live and work here, surrounded by nature – and it is precisely this connection that makes the Dietrichhof what it is: a real working farm and a personal place to arrive, breathe deeply and feel at ease.

According to Nature

At the Dietrichhof, farming is simply a natural part of our everyday life.

Around 30 Brown Swiss cows and calves, chickens and our other animals live here on the farm. They are part of our daily life – not something staged for our guests, but simply because the Dietrichhof is a real, working farm.
Our livestock is our livelihood and, at the same time, an important part of our lives. We treat our animals with respect and care for each one of them with dedication and joy.
When farmer Reinhard goes to milk the cows early in the morning or in the afternoon, our guests are welcome to accompany him, watch and learn more about farming, our animals and everyday life on the farm.

Perhaps this is one of the special things about the Dietrichhof: you don’t experience a farm from a distance – for a little while, you become part of it.
And at the same time, you don’t have to experience anything at all.

Those seeking peace will find it here. Those who are curious are welcome to take a glimpse into farm life.
This is how authentic farm life, nature and the opportunity to simply take a step back from everyday life come together.

Animal Sponsorship

Dear guest,

We would like to introduce ourselves. We all – cows, cats, chickens and rabbits – belong to the Dietrichhof and enjoy our life here. We cannot introduce ourselves by name. There are too many of us. You are welcome to get to know us personally and become our godparent. Then we can tell you more about us, if you listen carefully. Feel free to ask Reinhard and Szilvia about godparenthood. We promise that you will definitely get a photo of us. We are am looking forward to meeting you.

Kindest regards

The journey towards oneself and the others

Experience South Tyrol – or simply do nothing for a while

There is plenty to discover around Dietrichhof throughout the year: hiking trails, alpine pastures, mountain lifts, nature and special places in the Eisack Valley and the Dolomites.
You can head out, hike, explore the mountains and experience South Tyrol.

Or you can simply stay here.

Because a getaway does not always have to be filled with activities. Sometimes a holiday means sleeping in, enjoying a long breakfast, reading a book, going to the sauna or simply sitting together and taking in the mountain views.

There is no programme you have to complete here. You decide what your day needs.
Every stay can therefore be different – active, relaxed or somewhere in between.

A third of the population in Velturno/Feldthurns lives from agriculture: at the bottom of the valley vineyards and orchards are cultivated, whereas higher up, farming is to be found.
You can lay back and relax while you are walking, hiking, sun-bathing, eating or simply enjoying the local culture.

In the centre of Velturno/Feldthurns – which towers the towns of Chiusa/Klausen and Bressanone/Brixen – you can find the Castle. Velturno/Feldthurns Castle used to be the summer residency of the prince bishops of Bressanone/Brixen. You can freely take part in the local various cultural activities. By using our free Wi-Fi you can connect and find out more about the calendar of local events during your staying.
We are more than happy to arrange for you or with you hiking tours or simply walks.

We are happy to give you tips for finding the right hikes, activities, sports opportunities or simply relaxing walks for all 4 seasons.
