A story that lives on
Passionate hosts
The Bäcksteinerhof was first mentioned as early as 1277. Over the centuries, a lot has changed here – and yet to this day the farm has remained a place where people live, work and welcome guests.
Today, the historic ancestral farmstead is run by the Verdorfer family in its 13th generation. For three generations, we’ve also been welcoming guests here.
To us, hospitality means being personally available, staying attentive, and at the same time giving you the freedom you’re looking for on holiday.
We intentionally keep Bäcksteinerhof small: personally run, with time for our guests, and with the aim that you don’t just feel accommodated, but truly welcome.
Structures that have evolved over time
The history of the Bäcksteinerhof can still be seen in many places today: in old walls, time-grown structures, and special rooms such as the Merano parlour from 1808.
For us, preserving doesn’t mean leaving everything unchanged. We want to carry the farm’s story forward and introduce new elements where they make sense.
This is how historic building fabric and traditional rooms are intentionally brought together with contemporary architecture, clean lines, and new ideas. This is especially visible in the two lofts in the historic barn and in the romantic fireplace room. Spaces are created that don’t hide where they come from – and still feel completely at home in the present.
From the field to your table
Our philosophy
Apples, grapes, and other fruit grow all around the house, setting the rhythm of our year and belonging to the farm for generations.
That’s how the connection between the farm and breakfast becomes naturally tangible.
Landwirtschaft ist für uns keine Kulisse
sondern ein wesentlicher Teil unseres Alltags. Was auf unseren Feldern wächst, wird zum Teil direkt am Hof weiterverarbeitet und findet als Saft, Marmelade, Trockenfrucht oder frisches Obst seinen Weg bis auf Ihren Frühstückstisch.
Wer selbst Lebensmittel produziert
entwickelt einen anderen Blick auf Qualität, Herkunft und Geschmack. Genau dieser Anspruch begleitet uns deshalb nicht nur in der Landwirtschaft, sondern auch bei allem, was wir unseren Gästen servieren.
We believe in knowing what matters.
A special place
We don’t believe a special stay comes from offering as much as possible.
The Bäcksteinerhof is not meant to be a place that offers a bit of everything. We want to focus on what truly suits us: peace and quiet, personal hospitality, special spaces, good food, and being close to the city without having to give up nature.
That’s why, for us, quality comes before quantity. At breakfast just as much as in the design of our rooms and lofts, and in the way we continue to develop our farm.
We don’t have to be the right place for everyone. We want to be a special place for the right guests. Because it’s precisely this clarity that makes the difference for us.
