Quiet Magic at Hofergut – A Historic Hideaway in the Puster Valley
The 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.
Yet Hofergut is more than a historic building. It is a place with a very special soul. 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 from the very first moment. Being a host seems to be in her nature – growing up with parents who ran a small guesthouse, hospitality is something she lives with genuine joy and ease.
A fresh bouquet of flowers on the table, a special restaurant recommendation for the evening, an extra blanket, a few words of South Tyrolean dialect or a local anecdote – Gudrun fulfils wishes from A to Z, adding a deeply personal touch to every stay. No magic wand required – just intuition and care.
Always exactly to the degree guests desire. Some seek 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: at Hofergut, everyone should feel as though they are staying with friends. Sometimes, these encounters even turn into real friendships.
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.
