Our experience at Terra the Magic Place is absolutely unforgettable.From the first bite, we were transported by the finesse and originality of the flavors.Each dish is a work of culinary art, and the food and wine pairings are perfectly orchestrated, revealing the complexity of each ingredient with rare subtlety. The service is impeccable.The hotel is as good as the cuisine: a magical place surrounded by nature, where everything is conducive to relaxation and contemplation.The spa is also exceptional, offering moments of pure calm in the heart of lush greenery.An enchanted parenthesis that we recommend to all epicureans in search of excellence.

The restaurant has a great ambience. Somewhat stiff service. The wine accompaniment was fine. Suggestion for improvement: Ms. Gisela could also have written the wine accompaniment on a card.Unfortunately, I missed being able to differentiate the individual tastes of the many courses. With 10 courses, the Maite sometimes fell in love with details and unfortunately let appearance take precedence over taste. Too much of a good thing for me. Sometimes less would be more. In individual courses you can no longer recognize the main product due to too many - I admit it is very good - ingredients. Over all - no dish managed to leave a lasting impression on me.Unfortunately, I didn't experience the "wow" effect that I get from many other restaurants here. Still a good 93 points from me.

What can we say about this establishment which dazzled us from start to finish…Gisela and Heinrich Schneider, the hosts and chef, warmly welcomed us into their superb family establishment for a timeless moment.We enjoyed our room with a lovely view of the forest, the SPA area is sublime with a panorama of the Dolomites, the breakfast is delicious and local and also deserves the green star!!!The dinner was in the same vein as this wonderful stay: very precise service and with a natural (and rare!) sense of attention so that we had a good time. The Chef's cuisine fully deserves his distinctions. Nice Italian/Swiss wine list. We recommend 300%!!Moment finalized under their advice by the Stoanernen Mandln walk, which continues this waking dream.Thanks to the entire Terra team!!Chloé & Aubin

We had dinner at Terra to celebrate my partner's birthday. Every dish is very well presented and the service is impeccable - but for some reason it feels something is lacking and though the dishes taste good there isn't a dish which I would remember for life (there's just not that "wow" flavour I was looking for). That said it's still a very good meal (esp the lemon bread is really refreshing).

The restaurant is a great experience. Gisela and Heinrich are simply a symbol of who the real chief and creator should feel like. The team, the food, the spectacle - it was all cohesive, wonderful and along with the location it brought an absolutely accurate picture of what perfection and passion should look like. Total recommendation!

From the moment we arrived at this boutique hotel, perched high in the mountains, we knew we were in for a special experience. With only 11 rooms, this family-owned gem offers a level of intimacy and personalized service that is rare to find. The breathtaking views of the mountain ranges and the town below are straight out of a postcard, making every moment here feel magical.The location is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, offering easy access to skiing and hiking in the nearby towns and mountains. But what truly sets this place apart is the staff. Their genuine kindness and willingness to go above and beyond made us feel like part of their family.The wellness room, with its saunas, massage rooms, and serene ambiance, offers a perfect retreat after a day of adventure. However, the crown jewel of this hotel is undoubtedly its culinary experience. The 2-Michelin-star restaurant provided a dining adventure like no other, while the equally impressive breakfasts, lunches, and casual meals were prepared with the same exceptional quality and care.In comparison to renowned establishments like Aman and Four Seasons, this hotel not only stands its ground but shines in its unique charm and excellence. It's a true hidden gem, offering a magical and unparalleled experience at every turn. We're already planning our next visit to this extraordinary retreat.

A hidden gem in south Tyrol. The hotel is small but very equipped (well maintained and clean spa, high end restaurant, great breakfast...). The 2-michelin star restaurant is one of the best we have experienced - all ingredients are from the surrounding mountains, and the chef knows how to turn all elements into a fantastic, creative cuisine through his "magic"! The staff team are so professional, helpful, and friendly! They made us feel like home! Totally loved this magic place! Hate I cannot give more than 5 stars!

A wonderful place to visit to be close to nature and if you enjoy hiking, as there are multiple trails just near by. The hotel is simple yet elegant and the owners as well as the rest of their team were friendly and very helpful. The highlight of our stay was dining in the restaurant where we experienced a cuisine that was magical in many ways. The presentation, the service, the chef and his team made every dish presented memorable flavours that tickles your taste buds. Would love to visit it again, we had a marvellous experience.
