Hofergut and the Art of Subtle Hospitality
Some places speak softly – and linger all the longer. Hofergut in the Puster Valley is one of them. A house shaped by history, character and a host whose intuition turns a stay into a feeling of true arrival. A place for those who value authenticity – and a proud member of the Lifestylehotels collection.
A House Shaped by Time
Hofergut is a place steeped in history, with roots reaching back to the Middle Ages. Full of character and atmosphere, the historic house has been carefully guided into the present without erasing the traces of its past. The old parlour, the traditional smoke kitchen and the vaulted stone walls all tell their story – as does the stone-framed doorway with its time-honoured carvings.
From the very first moment, it feels like a house that has preserved more than it has changed.
The Good Fairy of Hofergut
Yet Hofergut is not only defined by its walls. It is also shaped by a person. Almost like having a good fairy on site – one who fulfils wishes in German, English, Italian or South Tyrolean dialect, often before guests even step through the gate.
Gudrun Huber knows what a privilege it is to be part of this place – in her home region, the Puster Valley. And still, it hardly feels like work. With her warm and open manner, she welcomes guests straight into her heart. Growing up with parents who ran a small guesthouse, hospitality is something she lives with genuine joy and ease.
The Beauty of Small Gestures
A fresh bouquet of flowers, a thoughtful restaurant recommendation, an extra blanket, a few local dialect words or a story from the region – Gudrun fulfils wishes from A to Z, adding a deeply personal touch to every stay. No magic wand needed – just intuition.
This quiet, individual approach to hospitality is precisely what defines Hofergut as part of the Lifestylehotels® collection – a curated network of hotels that value personality, authenticity and atmosphere above all else.
Between Silence and Connection
Some come to Hofergut seeking peace and retreat, others enjoy conversation. When the latter is the case, a shared aperitivo in the cosy parlour is not uncommon – and often lasts a little longer.
Uncomplicated, heartfelt and authentic: here, guests should feel as though they are staying with friends. Sometimes, these encounters turn into real friendships.
Six Letters That Stay
And if you ask the guests – or read the reviews – one thing becomes clear.
The magical six letters G U D R U N appear again and again. Often accompanied by a sparkle in the eyes. Almost as if a little fairy dust really is at play.
