Demeter certified biodynamic

We are the first Demeter hotel in Italy

The Demeter seal indicates that products and services are created according to biodynamic and sustainable standards. Our farm, the Bergerhof, has been run biodynamically since 1981, and our bio hotel theiner’s garten is the first hotel in Italy recommended by Demeter. This certification is both an honour and a motivation for us to continue pursuing our path with dedication.

The quality of food is a matter of vital forces, not just of chemical composition.

What does Demeter stand for?

The Demeter association was founded in 1924 and is the oldest organic association in Germany. It brings together farmers who practise biodynamic agriculture and are committed to the most sustainable and holistic form of farming. Resources are used responsibly, without pesticides or genetic engineering; animals are kept in species-appropriate conditions and biodiversity is protected. Climate protection is also a key concern for Demeter hotels and farmers.
The result is food that is rich not only in flavour and vital nutrients, but also respects soil, plant, animal and human life as an interconnected whole.

Detox with Demeter

We are also dedicated to natural detoxification. As part of our detox programmes and retreats, you can gently support the body and mind in releasing the stresses of everyday life through treatments, movement sessions and specially designed detox menus.
The biodynamic produce from our Bergerhof and high-quality natural cosmetics form the foundation of our detox programmes in South Tyrol. You can find a list of current retreats under our offers.
