Location & Setting

Villandro is located on the sunny plateau above the artists’ town of Klausen, at 880 metres above sea level, right in the heart of South Tyrol.

What to Do and What to See

Hotel Briol: Built 1928 in Bauhaus style. Architecture enthusiasts can hike up and enjoy a coffee and cake on the terrace. Accessible on foot or by jeep taxi.
Bagni Tre Chiese / Barbiano: The three churches are built on the site of an ancient spring sanctuary. The Bad Dreikirchen hotel is right beside the churches, and enjoys great fame as a haven of tranquillity with impressive architectural features.
Brixen / Bressanone: Medieval arcade, baroque cathedral and the cathedral square together with small alleyways, family-run shops and chic restaurants including, to name but one, the Decantei in via Hartwig. No ostentatious frills - just nostalgia and creativity at their finest.
Klausen / Chiusa: Winding streets, intimacy and artistic inspiration. Take a stroll through the old town, past the charming alcoves and up to the Cappuccini Mount to look over the rooftops of the town and the Sabiona Monastery towering on its rock. A like-worthy photo spot.
Velturno Castle / Feldthurns: A Renaissance Castle beyond compare. Built in 1850 as the summer residence of the Prince Bishops of Bressanone, visitors today can marvel at the master carpentry and art within its magnificent rooms.
