Our stay at Zum Riesen was wonderful! Alexandra and her team were the most gracious hosts. The breakfasts were superb- the variety every day was perfect, and Sandra's homemade bread was always fresh and delicious.

From the moment we arrived we experienced such friendly and welcoming staff. A beautiful old building with a modern twist and feel. Rooms are well appointed and a comfortable size. Every morning we were served an exceptional breakfast with the freshest of breads and local produce.

So glad we were recommended this stay! The design is very sympathetic to the history of the refrugium. Lovely sitting areas, beautiful views, a sensational host and great views. We came with not much planned but found there were many surprises in the town and areas close by. It was lovely coming back to a sauna after a day of hiking.
Only downside is not having booked another night…

Stunning property. Beautifully renovated, keeping to the original charm, with an impeccable eye for detail. We had a lovely warm welcome from Alexandra and her sister. Each room has natural flowers throughout, and everything is extremely clean. Plus I think my favourite part was coming back to the home filled with candles. I’ll never forget it.
- Too cramped. We stayed in the Aunts Room. Only one person could fit on the balcony at a time, and unfortunately, it was too cramped for two people and a dog.
- Undesirable bathroom. Again, the room we had had a tiny bathroom that did not allow the door to fully open and you had to step in the shower to get into the bathroom to close the door. The shower also ran hot and cold midstream unexpectedly, plus the towels were a bit stiff and sparse.
- Lack of dining options. There is only the pizzeria downstairs, which is a completely separate entity and does not share the same atmosphere as the guesthouse. It’s also unknown if the open rooms around the house are available for guests to enjoy on their own. We had purchased some wine and cheeses to enjoy in one of the beautiful parlors, however, when we tried to get acclimated in an empty room, it got real awkward, real fast. We quickly felt our presence was not appreciated and hastily retreated to our room and the door shut to stay out of the way.
If there were to be snacks, wine or aperitifs offered later in the day that would really be special! Or if they are not welcomed from outside, that there be some kind of understanding at checkin would be really helpful.

Alexandra, who's family has been running the hotel for generations, is the perfect host. She was able to give good advice on activities and restaurants and is also a very pleasant person. The hotel itself is both very stylish and comfortable. Its obvious that a lot of effort has gone into every detail. The surroundings are beautiful, with great views all around. The breakfast is delicous with local treats. A sauna is present for use after a long hike, which is great. I highly recommend staying a number of nights at Zum Riesen.
Nothing, everything is perfect.

The breakfast was great. Every day we had a different table prepared with different dishes and cups set to enjoy different experiences and views of the location. Quiet and elegance were mostly appreciated and very valuable, especially on the roof terrace. I don't think that is something you would find in any other location in the area.
I found strange that the water in the shower had a bad smell. Really this was the only defect we found.

Property is located in a small village hillside in a truly gorgeous valley. The view from our window was jaw dropping. The room is simple and stylish with a comfy bed. Nice shares balcony and sauna which in our eyes was a big plus. The house is incredible, living in such a place pictures a dream in my mind. Rich breakfast and lovely helpful crew.
We had a great time.

A lovely place up in the hills from Latsch/Laces with very warm and helpful staff. Our stay was wonderful, it's a perfect place to relax and get away from it all. The rooms were comfortable and very clean and the guest house itself is very beautiful with a lot of character but also a good blend of old and modern style.
There wasn't a hairdryer in the bathroom and there were a couple of foxes skins on chairs in the hallway which is most likely not to everyone's taste.

Die Pension „Zum Riesen“ ist ein herrliches Kleinod für einen Urlaub in den Südtiroler Bergen. Wer den Rummel eines großen Hotels nicht braucht, ist hier ebenfalls sehr gut aufgehoben und wird es nicht bereuen. Die Wirtin, das Ambiente, der Mix aus historischem Bau und modernen Anbauten, die Atmosphäre im Haus, die Herzlichkeit, bis hin zur Sauna im Dachgeschoss. Alles ist da! Wir haben uns mehr als wohlgefühlt!

Sehr individuell eingerichtet mit viel Liebe für das Detail. Design, Komfort und Aufmerksamkeit sind absolut außergewöhnlich.
Teilweise Straßenlärm schon am frühen Morgen

Ein Kleinod im Vinschgau...! Ein altes Bauernhaus, mit viel Fingerspitzengefühl und gutem Geschmack behutsam modernisiert! Die Ausstattung elegant, natürlich, mit viel Holz, schönen Stoffen, altem wertvollen Porzellan und einem hinreißenden Frühstück. Dazu ein außerordentlich freundlicher Empfang und Umgang mit dem Gast. Das war wirklich eine Entdeckung...!
Vielleicht als einziger Punkt...die Auffindbarkeit des Hauses. Man steht davor, und ahnt es noch immer nicht....aber das kann ja auch ein Vorteil sein, wenn ein solches Schmuckstück nicht gleich laut und auffallend daherkommt und die Touris anzieht wie die Mücken.

Ci è piaciuto tutto, in particolare la cura dei dettagli e il modo in cui le cose antiche , perfettamente restaurate si inseriscono nell’ambiente e si accostano alle comodità moderne. Il tutto
impreziosito dalla calorosa accoglienza della signora Alexandra e della sua famiglia. In questa dimora gli oggetti di un tempo riprendono vita… Torneremo sicuramente.

Man fühlt sich hier nicht wie ein Tourist, sondern wie ein willkommener Gast – und genau das macht den Charme des Hauses und des ganzen Ortes aus. Das Dorf ist lebendig und authentisch, kein klassischer Touristenort. Abends sitzt man mit den Einheimischen im Biergarten, genießt Pizza und ist mittendrin. Das Frühstück war jeden Morgen ein Highlight: liebevoll zusammengestellt, mit ausführlichen Erklärungen zu den einzelnen Komponenten und mit viel Liebe zum Detail angerichtet. Überall im Hotel entdeckt man kleine, schöne Akzente, die das Gesamtbild abrunden.

Super freundliche Gastgeberin. Alexandra hat uns gleich beim check in toll über das historische Haus informiert. Es gab ein super Frühstück, mit altem Geschirr, einfach entzückend. Die Mädels die uns jeweils beim Frühstück bedienten waren auch super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Super Matratzen und sehr ruhig. Haben am zweiten Tag auch im Haus Pizza gegessen, auch sehr zum empfehlen.

Wunderschönes Haus, sanft&stilvoll renoviert, superschöne Lage, sehr zuvorkommendes Personal und ein äusserst liebevolles Frühstück mit viel selbstgemachtem. Ein kleines Paradies.
Das Restaurant hat Mo&Di geschlossen und Dienstags hat nichts in Gehdistanz geöffnet. In Latsch finden sich (mit dem Auto) aber einige Restaurants.

Wunderschöne Verbindung von uraltem Haus und neuem Anbau. Liebevoll und mit großem Geschmack restauriert. Zimmer und Bad in angenehmer Größe. Große Ruhe und eine gute Atmosphäre im Haus. Sehr nette zugewandte Wirtinnen und sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal.
Stufen im Boden nicht farblich abgesetzt, für Leute, die nicht mehr so sicher gehen, Stolperfallen. Nachttischsituation als Brett hinter dem Bett umständlich. Keine Ablage in der Dusche. Kein Fön im Bad und zu wenig Toilettenpapier im Vorrat. Uns persönlich wäre ein Frühstücksbuffet lieber als Bedienung mit größeren Wartezeiten.
