Ansitz Montani
From Noble Residence to Holiday Home
1374: Our manor house is first documented when Georg von Montani acquires the noble residence. Today, we, Evi and Lorenz Eccel, have transformed our Ansitz Montani into a stylish retreat for those seeking peace and active holidaymakers.
650 Years of History
Stone, villa-like country estates, known as ‘Ansitze’, in the Überetsch style became the preferred focal point for the aspiring bourgeoisie and established noble families in the area between Bolzano and Tramin during the 16th and 17th centuries.
The Lords of Montani
Built in the 13th century for the Lords of Montani, our medieval castle complex was adapted to the Überetsch style through a renovation approximately 400 years ago.
The representative central hall, the battlements as a design element, and the double-arched windows are typical of this particular architectural style. It is a late Gothic construction incorporating elements of the Italian Renaissance.
Arrived in the 21st Century
The eventful building history of our manor house can still be seen today on its unplastered façade. Since 2021, we have been sharing these historic walls with you. Look forward to a luxurious break in our comfortable apartments, surrounded by newly planted grapevines. The vineyard is lovingly tended and cared for by Lorenz.
Passion for Wine
Thanks to the calcareous, easily warmed soil, the sun-drenched slopes and meadows of our district, Berg, are perfectly suited for producing wines of the finest quality.
In combination with the gentle wind that blows down to us from the Mendel, our grapes ripen under ideal conditions. We deliver our yields to the St. Michael winery, which processes our harvest into excellent wines. Look forward to fine wines from the Überetsch, from Pinot Blanc to Cabernet.
