Gently embedded between modern wood panelling, glass and béton brut, the Mansion zum Löwen in the village of Burgusio in the Upper Venosta Valley opens a window into an 800-year-old past. Each of the nine unique suites in the landmarked building complex tells mystic stories of life and laughter in a Gothic farmhouse, of chatting and cheating in the Chur prince-bishops’ merchant house, and of flings and fights in the former barn.

Avant-garde: a well-made fusion of then and now.
»What we accepted was a kind of symbiosis where both the old and the new find their space.«

A conversation with Mara Theiner of the Ansitz zum Löwen
talks about the three most important words in South Tyrolean architecture-and how bathrobe selfies at the village well brought Burgusio back to life.
