BOOKING REQUEST

Laurin’s garden

Natural exuberance in the middle of town

Every self-respecting house in South Tyrol has a garden; watching plants grow is a source of happiness. The Laurin Park in Bolzano is an English garden with impressive trees, exuberant flowers and shrubs, and quiet spots in which to enjoy coffee, aperitifs and good food to the accompaniment of birdsong. Owner Franz Staffler planted the giant redwoods and chose the sculptures himself. He says the garden is part of him, and he is part of the garden. ”Like an old oak tree.“

Art and nature in harmony

Green towers

The trees of the Laurin Park

On 4,000 square metres, plants from all over the world have congregated here for 150 years. Giant redwoods, Himalayan cedars, Himalayan pines and yew trees tower above bowwood, cherry laurel, ginkgo and wintersweet. On one tree, the most exuberant rose in the Alps ascends to lofty heights. How far will it go?

Elephants in Bolzano

Art in the Laurin Park

Owner Franz Staffler has an eclectic approach to art. As a patron and collector, he buys what he likes. Among other things, a stroll round the park reveals a huge bronze head, a single rubber hand, a red steel loop and several elephants. If you want to unwind, just count the elephants.

Summer Lounge

An aperitif outdoors

The Laurin Park is in love with life. In summer, we move the Bar outdoors.
When evening comes, the locals feel like they’re on holiday too. Come and immerse yourself in the latest talk of the town – or drop by Aperitivo Lungo on Thursdays for chillout music with a selection of DJs.

The Park Restaurant

Come on out – the weather’s fine

What’s the point of a park in bloom if no-one can see it? At the Laurin, we open white sun sails and serve light dishes with a Mediterranean flair. Isn’t that what summer is for?

How Franz Rottensteiner became a gardener

Franz Rottensteiner was a machine fitter with the state railway for 38 years. When he retired, he joined the Laurin as a gardener after replying to an advertisement before his doubts got the better of him. He couldn’t tell a cherry laurel from a magnolia at the time. ”It was more of gut feeling,“ says Franz – and one that owner Franz Staffler clearly shared. He hired the ingenuous gardener, but that doesn’t mean they always see eye to eye.

Who’s in charge of the park?

"Great location just by the train station. Beautiful lounge and lift (with seats!) with a wonderful garden and small pool. Lovely rooms with wonderful art. Good buffet breakfast with range of options. Recommended."
