Breakfast is served buffet-style with homemade juices and jams, while the restaurant offers traditional South Tyrolean dishes with a salad buffet. In summer, staff organise hiking and cycling excursions, and in winter a ski storage room is available, with the Merano 2000 ski slopes just 5 km away.

The rooms at the Adults only Hotel Grafenstein share some basic features: private balcony, en-suite bathroom with bathrobe and slippers, flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a fridge.

The Superior and Deluxe categories include a free parking space in the garage and, in the case of the Deluxe, the largest space available in the property. Some accommodations also offer a pool view, while one Superior room type stands out for its bathroom with walk-in shower, bidet, safe and a small sofa in the room. In all cases, at the time of booking it is possible to indicate the preferred bed configuration, choosing between an extra-large double bed or separate single beds.

The area retains a rural, peaceful character, ideal for those seeking a restful stay while still staying close to city amenities.

Bolzano Airport is about 27 km away. Within a one-kilometre radius there are already several restaurants, such as Thurnerhof at 350 metres and Petermann at 700 metres, useful for dinner without straying too far from the property.
The ski slopes of the Merano 2000 ski area are about 5 km away, making the hotel a practical base in winter too, thanks to the on-site ski storage room. In summer, the area is well-suited for hiking and cycling in the Texel Group Nature Park, less than a kilometre away. For those wishing to visit Merano, the Trauttmansdorff Castle Gardens, the Princely Castle and Sissi’s Gardens are just a few minutes away by car, while the SüdtirolCard included in the stay allows guests to reach these attractions for free using local public transport.
