For 850 years, pilgrims and travellers of the Val di Non Valley have spent many a night at the Hotel Gasthof Zum Hirschen, a place to cherish the basics in life. Minimalism rules in this remote mountain hideaway for epicures in the placid pilgrim destination Senale, where the former hospitium’s monastic architecture harmoniously cuddles against the modern-day annexe. In this true haven of relaxation, the utter renouncement of any ornamental flourish brings calm and comfort to body and soul.
