Peter Linger and his family believe in quality over quantity. Their charming boutique hideaway, Lingers Suites & Residence, offers just 16 stylish suites and apartments, creating an intimate Bed & Breakfast experience designed for guests seeking tranquillity, comfort and authenticity. Nestled among the vineyards of Girlan near Appiano, just a short distance from Lake Caldaro, the new property is set to open in April 2025. Peter Linger is the heart and soul of the house. Having spent many years living in Munich and working closely with the hospitality scene, he understands exactly what modern travellers are looking for: peace, nature and understated elegance. A place to wake up to birdsong, spend quality time together and enjoy a glass of the estate’s own Chardonnay or Merlot while overlooking the vineyards and the beautiful backdrop of the Mendel mountain range. The elegant suites and apartments are ideal for a romantic escape. Contemporary interiors, subtle colour palettes, clean lines and high-quality materials create a refined yet relaxed atmosphere. In addition to spacious living areas, separate bedrooms, bathrooms and private balconies, the apartments also feature fully equipped kitchens, allowing guests complete flexibility during their stay. The hotel’s idyllic garden provides ample space to slow down and recharge. A swimming pool, heated whirlpool and peaceful corners surrounded by greenery invite guests to embrace the art of doing very little. A generous gourmet breakfast is included in every stay, while afternoon snacks and small bites are available at the day bar. In the evening, the “Dine Around & Enjoy” concept encourages guests to discover the finest restaurants in the surrounding area. Unsure where to begin? Peter Linger is always happy to share his personal recommendations and insider tips. It is perhaps a pity that the German language has no direct equivalent to the English verb “to linger.” Because that single word perfectly captures the spirit of the place: once guests arrive at Lingers, all they want to do is stay a little longer.
