Welcome to the Steineggerhof!

For almost 50 years we, the family Resch, are passionately running this small family hotel at the gateway to the Dolomites. Living with nature is very important to us: vegetables and herbs from our own garden, meat from our biological farm. We cook according to the "Cook the mountain" style, with everything that grows in the mountains. We have placed the emphasis on vegetarian cuisine, with our choice of menus we naturally also offer a choice of meat or fish dishes. The barbecues and kitchen parties are our highlights, which are always enjoyed by our guests. Since 2018 we are a member of the „Climate Neutrality Alliance 2025“, would like to get away from plastic, plant more by ourselves... there is still a lot to do to save the world at least a little bit!

We have been a founding member of Bikehotels Südtirol since 1995. Two bike guides go on tour with our guests. Bike professionals like Tom Öhler, Stefan Schlie, Manfred Stromberg and Stefan Hermanns MTB-Academy hold bike or eBike technique courses with us. Hikers and nature lovers who are looking for peace and relaxation, mountain huts with delicious South Tyrolean specialities and a unique panorama are in good hands with us between the forests of Steinegg and the Dolomites. Motorcyclists can look forward to 30 different mountain passes, just waiting to be discovered and driven on!

For our guests, who would like to take it a little easier, our long-time employee Sigrid offers yoga lessons, taster courses for functional training or accompanies you on short and long hikes. New are our unique planetary suites (Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Mercury, Venus), our extended wellness area with indoor pool, whirlpool, Finnish sauna, steam bath and the spacious relaxation room "Terra" with reading corner, as well as a yoga and fitness room. Our sunny panoramic rooftop terrace with Finish sauna amazes with a magnificent panoramic view of the Catinaccio, Sciliar, Alpe di Siusi, Valle Isarco and Renon, all the way to Bolzano. You can rent the rooftop terrace in the evening as a private SPA and spend the night under the open sky!

The small mountain village of Steinegg is located at 900 m above sea level, without through traffic, surrounded by the Dolomite mountains of Catinaccio, Latemar, Tschafon, Sciliar and Alpe di Siusi. Directly from the hotel you can reach the earth pyramids of Collepietra, an impressive natural spectacle made of clay and boulders. Steinegg is the first European star village. In the neighbouring village of San Valentino there is a planetarium, an observatory and a solar observatory. If you are fascinated by the cosmos and interested in astronomy, the star village Steinegg is the right place for you! On the planetary path it is possible to walk from Mercury to Pluto in a few hours thanks to the conversion of the sizes in the solar system in a ratio of 1:1 billion.

We are only 13 km away from the South Tyrolean capital Bolzano. Besides the beautiful old town there are several great museums and castles to discover: Archaeology museum with the Ötzi, nature museum, Messner Mountain Museum, the Runkelstein Castle, etc. The spa town Meran is about 40 km away from us. Especially worth seeing is the twelve hectare botanical garden of Trauttmansdorff Castle including the "Turiseum". The cable cars for high alpine hiking on the Dolomite massifs Catinaccio, Latemar or Alpe di Siusi can be reached in 20-30 minutes by car. A dense network of forest and forest paths runs through our holiday region Val d'Ega ideal for hiking and eBike tours.

In summer, South Tyrol’s picturesque hiking trails are within easy reach, too. Here, you have access to the best known ski areas like "Kronplatz", "Alta Badia", "Gardena" and "3 Cime" by ski or by bike.

Welcome to La Casa di Melo!
 
La Casa di Melo is an ancient farmhouse in Eastern Sicily, recently renovated into a lovely farm holiday resort.
 
It lies beneath an organic citrus plantation and it is the green lung of our business. Our farm has been cultivating organic products for the past 20 years. To us, organic is a lifestyle, a better way of living with a low environmental impact. It is a lifestyle we would like to share with you.
 
We created an environment in harmony with surrounding nature so that you can fully enjoy the leisure of Sicily's countryside. La Casa di Melo is located in a special position: only 12 kms away from Syracuse, very close to the beaches of Fontane Bianche and just 15 minutes away fromNoto. A perfect base from where to start discovering the magic of culture, nature and food of South Eastern Sicily.
 
La Casa di Melo has a shop where you can find our own products such as almond paste or extra-virgin olive oil, the output of organic agriculture.
 
And for those of you who are not content of being just a short distance away from the seaside, there's a beautiful swimming pool that fits harmoniously within the landscape, just in front of the farmhouse. Once recharged by such relax, you can arrange short bicycle rides to the nature reserve of Ciane river. Bicycles are on the premises, of course.
 
If you are lloking for a all-inclusive hotel or a conventional b&b we are not the right place for your holidays.
 
No pets allowed.
