AWARD-WINNING CUISINE

Preidlhof’s approach to nutrition is fervently anti-diet as this is short-term and usually self-defeating; many people simply end up putting on more weight once they finish, while eliminating certain foods often leads to nutritional, physical, emotional and mental imbalances. Preidlhof advocates a balanced approach with enjoyment being a key factor in securing more sustainable and long-term results. In short: happy people make healthier food choices and they move much more.   

Instead of rigidly focusing on what you eat, the Preidlhof Way is to focus on the very act of eating: Do you chew your food properly? Are you tuned into your body? Are you listening to what it is telling you? How do you feel? How do your emotions influence your food choices? Are you indeed aware of how your food choices also influence your emotions?  

“We are all trained in mindful eating, sensory analysis and other specific techniques taught by slow food experts, scientifically based to create an approach to food that is then integrated by Dr Angerer into his specialities and knowledge for specific cases,” says Patrizia.  

Preidlhof offers guests full-board accommodation, allowing them to indulge in its healthy “farm to fork” cuisine. Preidlhof’s Restaurant has been awarded three toques by Gault Millau. Guests enjoy local products and regional delicacies, much of which Preidlhof cultivates and harvests itself.

There is a new vegetarian menu, the Wellness Healing Gourmet Menu, specialising in luxury spa cuisine. It blends the alkaline and mediterranean diet while granting a gluten-, soy-, sugar-, and lactose-free selection of dishes. 

In January 2021 the new Vita Lounge Restaurant will be dedicated to guests experiencing this healing menu.
