Your accommodation in Southern South Tyrol
Summer in Truden
Two accommodations. One story. Everything started in 1979 when Ludwigshof was founded. Step by step, the hotel expanded, and in 2000, Luvina was added: a second building with its own unique character...
Our history
How it all began...
Christmas 1979
Anita and Josef founded the Ludwigshof Hotel with 18 rooms for their guests. Ludwigshof was a hotel, restaurant, bar, and disco at the time. People danced late into the night in the area which now serves as a recreation room.
1983 – 1992 – 1993
Renovation work took place during those years. Ludwigshof gained a terrace, the hotel was expanded with 16 new rooms, and a new dining room was added.
1997 and 1999
An elevator and 8 additional rooms were added. Ludwigshof had 42 rooms and needed a larger dining room again. As part of this, both the hotel’s entrance area and the reception desk were renovated.
Turn of the millennium – year 2000
A new chapter begins: Cristian and Helga open the Luvina hotel annex – 20 rooms designed to carry forward their vision of hospitality.
2003 and 2007
A new wellness area was added to Luvina, while Ludwigshof was expanded with a large motorcycle garage and additional parking facilities.
2018, 2020, 2022 and 2024
Step by step, the accommodations continued to evolve: all rooms received a fresh new design, while the lounge and terrace were redesigned. The hotel was also given a new exterior facade and balconies. The hotel’s kitchen underwent renovation as well. At Luvina, the breakfast room was redesigned, and a spacious carport was added.
Energy and Resources at the Hotel
We heat the hotel with a pellet heating system; the pellets we use are produced by BioEnergia Fiemme, around 13 km from the hotel. Part of our electricity comes from our own solar PV system, which has an installed capacity of more than 150 kWp. We also purchase certified electricity from renewable sources from SEL Energie Südtirol. Waste separation is also part of our everyday hotel operations.
Glimpse into the future
Today, Cristian and Helga run the hotels Ludwigshof & Luvina with great dedication and a forward-looking approach. Their two daughters, Jasmin and Letizia, are also working on new ideas to improve and further develop the accommodations.
