The story

Hanswirt, Merano – Classic Cuisine with a Michelin Nod in South Tyrol

A historic inn with a modern touch

The Hanswirt in Rablà, just outside Merano, has been welcoming guests since 1357. For over 400 years the Laimer family has owned this farmhouse, balancing tradition with contemporary comfort. The restaurant, part of the four-star-S hotel, draws on this deep-rooted heritage to create a dining experience that feels both familiar and refined.

The restaurant and its recognition

The restaurant’s kitchen focuses on classic cuisine, prepared with ingredients sourced from the family’s own organic farm and regional producers. The result is dishes that let the quality of each component speak for itself. This commitment has earned the Hanswirt a Michelin Recommended award, alongside accolades from Gault Millau and Gambero Rosso. The guides highlight the team’s culinary skill and the warm hospitality that defines every meal.

What to expect

Guests dine in cosy farmhouse-style alcoves or in the bright, modern dining room. The atmosphere is unhurried, with attention paid to every detail – from the presentation of the food to the selection of wines from the cellar. The menu changes with the seasons, always rooted in the classic cuisine of South Tyrol but executed with precision and creativity. The Laimer family’s love for good things is evident in the careful sourcing and preparation of each dish.

Whether you stay overnight or simply come for dinner, the Hanswirt offers a genuine taste of the region, supported by centuries of tradition and a Michelin‑recognised kitchen.
