Gasthof zum Roessl is a family-run guest house in San Genesio Atesino, on the plateau overlooking the Bolzano basin, about 34 km from the Trauttmansdorff Castle Gardens. The property, entirely non-smoking, features a panoramic terrace, a restaurant and a bar serving traditional South Tyrolean dishes, as well as free private parking and complimentary WiFi.
The accommodations are designed especially for extended or family stays: each unit is actually a small apartment with a fully equipped kitchenette, washing machine, satellite TV and private bathroom, furnished in alpine style with wooden details. Some units have a terrace, others a balcony, and several enjoy views of the surrounding mountains and the city of Bolzano.
The location is particularly appreciated by couples, who rated it 9.0, thanks to the quiet of the plateau and the proximity to trails and traditional restaurants such as Gasthaus Restaurant Tomanegger, less than a kilometer away. Bolzano Airport can be reached in just a few minutes by car, making the property convenient for guests arriving from outside the region as well.
Gasthof zum Roessl offers two types of alpine-style apartments, both designed to provide more independence than a classic hotel room. Each unit includes a sleeping area with a private en-suite bathroom and a separate living room with a sofa bed, useful for hosting a third guest or a child. The feature common to both options is the fully equipped kitchenette, with hob, refrigerator, utensils and washing machine, plus a flat-screen satellite TV and coffee machine.
The main difference concerns the private outdoor space: one type has a large terrace, the other a balcony, while the sizes vary slightly between 40 and 45 square meters. Both options offer views of the surrounding mountains and, on clearer days, of the city of Bolzano, making the apartments suitable for both couples and small family groups looking for comfort and space.
