Host information
Welcome to the RETTER organic nature resort!
Ulli and Hermann Retter are enthusiastic hoteliers. The 4*Superior hotel in the Pöllauer Tal nature park in eastern Styria has been organically certified for many years and all guests spend the night climate-friendly. The orchards of the Retter family are located around the RETTER Bio-Nature-Resort. Quinces, stag pears, berries and apples from the Retter family's orchards, which have been organically certified for 30 years, are skilfully processed into juices, distillates, jams and ice cream in the adjacent Retter BioGut.
At the breakfast buffet, guests will find a good 30 varieties of organic bread and pastries fresh from the Retter bakery. Interested parties have the opportunity to discover their creative streak in bread-baking courses or zero-waste flower-laying courses, soap-making and fermentation. Out of conviction, only happy, organic, free-range animals from a radius of 25 km are processed into fine toque creations in the Retter kitchen, and that in its entirety.
All in all a round thing! The success proves Ulli and Hermann Retter right - the Retter Bio-Nature-Resort was once again voted Austria's best seminar hotel and was awarded the Green Globe, TRIGOS, Hermes business prize, environmental label and as a leading Austrian company.
