Accommodation with a delicious breakfast
The old Remichhof, a typical wine-growing farm in Überetsch, had been empty and half-ruined for years when it was acquired by the Maran family in the late seventies and brought back to life. Under monument protection, it was converted into a three-star bed and breakfast, now a Hotel Garni, with 26 rooms, open from April to October. The spaciousness of its interior and the central open staircase connecting the three floors define the atmosphere of our house.
In the large passage room to the bar, where prams, bicycles and other sports equipment can be accommodated, resides our historical showpiece, the old wine press. You can enter the bar with its two lounges at any time and help yourself in peace. In addition to the usual chilled soft drinks, there is also a fine selection of wines from the Kaltern winery and the home-made wines cellared by the landlord himself. The courtyard terrace is used a lot and highly valued by our guests, from the extensive fine breakfast in the morning to the relaxed chat in the evening. A special advantage of our house is its perfect location. It is only a stone’s throw down to the businesses on the lake, but even in the biggest summer hustle and bustle, it remains pleasantly quiet at the Remichhof. Within walking distance you will also find a whole range of options for eating out, from the pizzeria to the fine restaurant.
Our guests have free access to the Gretl am See lido and receive a 15% discount on dinner including drinks in the two excellent restaurants Gretl am See and Seehofkeller.
Our rooms are all quite spacious and equipped with TV, room safe and W-LAN. The rooms on the 1st floor have been completely renovated and, with their higher beds, are particularly comfortable for our older guests. On the 2nd and 3rd floors, we have retained the original furnishings of the rooms, but replaced all bathtubs with spacious showers. The attic rooms on the 3rd floor receive light, air and a wide view through a roof loggia. The two “suites” on the 3rd floor are our largest rooms, with a small kitchen and a large covered balcony overlooking the lake.

The Remichhof is one of the oldest farms in St. Josef am See. Coin finds from late Roman times (Follis of Emperor Gratian 378-383) and from 1534 indicate this. On a map from around 1650, it is referred to as “Wirtshaus” (inn). It is mentioned in writing in church provost accounts of St. Peter and Vigilius in Altenburg in the years 1774 to 1778. Josef Maria von Remich must pay tithes of must from the “Gries Hof” on the lake. The name “Gries” indicates the limestone scree that was transported down the valley by the Altenburger Bach during floods. In 1773, such a flooding of the vineyards was recorded in detail in a pen drawing. The current name is derived from the noble family von Remich, who owned the farm with the surrounding vineyards in the 18th century. The family died out with Anton von Remich in South Tyrol in the 19th century. In 1935, the Peterlin family acquired the farm from the then owner Baron di Pauli. In 1963, the childless Franz Peterlin bequeathed his property to the municipal welfare office. After several detours, the Remichof finally came into the possession of the Maran family, who had the farm, which had since been placed under monument protection, converted into a bed and breakfast by the architects Fingerle and Klebelsberg in 1980. After 20 years, the gentle adaptation to the changed needs began with the help of the architect Walter Angonese. This project is still being continued, now supervised by the architect Tom Tschöll, together with the artist Manfred Alois Mayr.
The host, Ivo Maran, is not only a wine enthusiast but also an expert on the history of local viticulture. Among other things, he publishes on this topic in Schlern, the monthly magazine for South Tyrolean regional studies.
He has also co-authored the following publications in the series “Schriften zur Weingeschichte” (Writings on Wine History):
“Der Weinbau im Etschlande” by Augustin Nagele, Provost of Gries (1753-1815). (Wiesbaden 2015).
“Vernatscher, Traminer, Kalterersee Wein. Neues aus Südtirols Weingeschichte.” (Wiesbaden 20215)
He contributed several articles to the award-winning book “Wein in Südtirol. Geschichte und Gegenwart eines besonderes Weinlandes.” (Wine in South Tyrol. History and Present of a Special Wine Region.) (Bolzano, 2024), which he co-initiated.
Since 2012, he has been a member of the scientific advisory board of the Society for the History of Wine E.V. in Wiesbaden.
