In the picturesque village square of Burgeis in South Tyrol, historic buildings and rural charm meet modern architecture. The Hotel “Weisses Kreuz” – a traditional country inn which has been family owned since 1871 – has been reconstructed and expanded in close cooperation with the South Tyrolean Monuments Office. The hotel now features modern suites, a spacious wellness area as well as new lounge, bar and dining areas. Located directly opposite of the hotel is the “Ansitz zum Löwen”, a listed building of the 13th century. Five unique suites have been created in the former living rooms with magnificent woodworks that have been originally preserved. Wood also plays a dominant role in the four suites located in the former barn. However, here the style is straight forward and modern: large glass fronts and south–facing loggias open the rooms to the village square and the Vinschgau mountains. The restaurant serves modern cross-over cuisine – from South Tyrolean dishes to international specialities.

Das Haus vereint auf gekonnte Weise Tradition und Moderne, der Stilmix zwischen früheren Zeiten und heutiger Handschrift ist bis jetzt gut gelungen. Der neue Wellnessbereich bietet alles, was zu Ruhe und Erholung beiträgt, klein aber sehr fein. Die Zimmer im Ansitz zum Löwen sind an Sauberkeit nicht zu toppen, die Materialien mit viel Liebe und Geschmack gewählt. Die Lage der beiden Häuser ist wundervoll, mitten im Dorf, im Zentrum des Dorflebens, wo sich alle kennen und auch Gäste ganz selbstverständlich dazu gehören.
Ein feines Hotel, unspektakulär spektakulär, unkompliziert und herrlich "down to earth".
Wir warem vom 1.-5.10.2015 im
Weissen Kreuz. Es war alles perfekt:
das sonnige Wetter, das moderniserte Haus,
das freundliche Personal und besonders
das abendliche "Sterne"-Menue.
