Our Meringerhof farm at Lagundo

Home cooking is the best

„I’m going to be a farmer when I grow up”, said Markus as a child.
He was completely fascinated by farming, and everything that went with it. He kept his dream alive over the years, and never became discouraged - quite the contrary! The Meringerhof farm at Lagundo/Rablà was purchased in 2001, and Markus built it up all by himself, transforming it into a splendid apple-growing concern. But that’s not the end of the story …

When love bears fruit …

Markus met Sieglinde and fell madly in love with her. And Sieglinde also fell in love with Markus and the farming life. They made the joint decision to diversify at the Meringerhof and make it a truly special place. They planted more fruit varieties, brought in some animals, and then their son Lukas was born.

A lot has happened in the meantime. Pigs, calves, chickens, ducks, rabbits, cats and Gina the dog have all come to live at the Meringerhof. The farm has its own butcher’s shop with a butcher: the speck, smoked salami and country-style salami are all home-made.

But there’s more. A whole variety of other things are produced at the Meringerhof:

  • Eggs
  • Alpine cheese
  • Jams (strawberry, apricot, blueberry, raspberry)
  • Syrups (raspberry, blackcurrant, elderberry)
  • Juices (apple juice, pear juice)
  • Vinegar (apple cider vinegar, balsamic apple cider vinegar)
  • Honey (apple honey, mountain honey)
  • Wine (Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet)
  • Grappa
  • Apple chips
  • Olive oil
Vegetables

Like father, like son

Lukas also intends to follow in his father’s footsteps by becoming a farmer, and is already providing valuable help. Every two weeks, the farm organises a guided tour with tastings (free for guests at the Lisetta). Markus and Lukas show guests around the farm, the orchard and the small collection of livestock. After their visit, guests can indulge in some of Sieglinde’s delicious treats.

The Lisetta, a real “drug”

We have to come back to the Lisetta for at least a few days every year. We just like everything here: the friendly, efficient welcome, the beautiful room, the delicious food, the perfect service in the dining room, the sunbathing lawn and the sauna.  It’s the ideal starting point for a trip around town or a pleasant hike. We can’t wait to go back next year.

Completely satisfied

The service in the dining room, the helpfulness of the staff and owners, the advice given to guests: we’ve never encountered anything quite like it. Here the customer is king! There’s so much on offer: top quality products (partly home-made), excellent cuisine, a lovely wellness area, superb relaxation in the outdoor pool and a splendid location with an amazing scenic view.
