The hotel in general
The history of the Naturresidenz Mair zu Hof in Sand in Taufers stretches back centuries, for the Ahrntal residence was once the headquarters of the knights of St. Mauritzien, who were first mentioned as early as 1271. This knight dynasty ranked among the noble ministries of Lord von Taufers, probably one of the most influential aristrocratic families in the whole of the Tyrol.

Since reconstruction in 2003, these historical roots have harmoniously combined with a modern and comfortable living environment in our informally run Naturresidenz in Sand in Taufers. Furnished with loving attention to detail and personally overseen, our holiday apartments let you experience restful days amid the unique natural landscape of the Ahrntal.

Hotel location
Mair zu Hof manor
holiday in historic surroundings

Centrally and yet quietly situated on the edge of Sand in Taufers is the Naturresidenz Mair zu Hof in the Tauferer Ahrntal, a holiday jewel amid the South Tyrolean mountainscape. The village centre is just 3 minutes away on foot.

Inwards the valley borders the Ahrntal, one of the most attractive side valleys of the Pustertal, by the glaciers of the main alpine ridge, and out from the valley rise the breathtaking mountain castles of the Dolomites.

On account of their privileged position, the apartments of the Naturresidenz prove to be an ideal starting point to discover the secrets of the Ahrntal and the beauty of the South Tyrol.
