Schwarzer Adler FAQs: From “Where can I park?” to “Is late check-out possible?”
Giving you clear answers to all your questions.

The essence of Sterzing hospitality

A Sterzing institution: Hotel Schwarzer Adler. Its neighbours: the town square, the Zwölferturm tower, the arcades of the new town. The quintessence of Sterzing.
The Schwarzer Adler reimagines holiday accommodation and travel – just for you.
Inspiring and different. Smart and modern. 

Sterzing
Shopping. Sport.
Savouring the moment.

Location

The medieval town located on the Isarco/Eisack river, between Brenner and Brixen, looks back on a long tradition of hospitality. After all, if you’re travelling into Italy from the north, Sterzing is right on your route – and boasts the most beautiful old town in Tyrol. Read more here about why it’s worth more than just a pitstop.

To travel is to live.

All this is part of the Schwarzer Adler.

It’s all about the spaces.

More questions?
Here are the answers.

Where can I park my car?

Being located in the heart of the historic center of Vipiteno, there are few parking spaces directly at the hotel. For guests arriving with an electric car, some of these spaces are also equipped with charging stations. Alternatively, you can park your car about an 3-5-minute walk away in our second private parking lot.

In both cases, your parking space is guaranteed for the duration of your stay: it will be available from check-in at 3:00 PM until check-out at 11:00 AM on your departure day.

Parking fees: 
Hotel car park: €19.00 per day
Car park near the hotel: €12.00 per day

For an easy arrival at our parking area, we recommend entering the following address into your navigation system:
Meinhard II Gasse 39049 Sterzing

At the end of the passage, just before the post office and just before the passage divides itself into two little alleys, on the left-hand side you will see a large black gate and a house with black balconies. To the right of the gate there is a doorbell. You are welcome to unload your luggage in the courtyard and – if booked or still available – park your car there.

I’m travelling with my dog. Is that ok?

We know that a trip without your four-legged companion somehow feels incomplete. That’s why furry friends of all sizes are very welcome in our spacious studios and Italian Restaurant. Thank you for understanding that the spa area is reserved for two-legged guests. 

Sterzing is THE place to be for big and small pups. You’ll find all the information about the best routes for walkies, dog-friendly hikes, vets (just in case), and where the emergency treats are in our dog brochure. So that your loyal companion enjoys the heights of comfort, you’ll find a cosy dog bed and food bowl in your studio. We charge an extra €15.00 per night (without food) for the additional cleaning required.

What are the check-in and check-out times at the Schwarzer Adler?

The studios are available from 3:00 pm. You are also welcome to check in earlier: if the studio is already prepared, we will be happy to hand over the keys. Should it take until 3:00 pm, you can store your luggage with us in the meantime.

 

Reception is open until 9:00 pm. Please let us know if you expect to arrive later — we will be glad to prepare everything for a late check-in.

On the day of departure, we kindly ask you to check out between 7:30 am and 11:00 am.

If you plan to leave very early in the morning, we kindly ask you to settle the bill the evening before.

If you would like to stay longer, we will be happy to check the possibility of a late check-out.

What is there to do?

Sterzing is a real all-rounder. A well-known trading centre since the Middle Ages, the old and new towns are today a shopping hotspot filled with elegant boutiques. Action fans are spoilt for choice in Sterzing and environs all year round: hiking routes, mountain carts, a summer toboggan run, rafting on the Isarco/Eisack river, three ski areas and toboggan runs, horse-drawn sleigh rides, the Sterzing Christmas market, plus castles, ancient ruins, museums … the list goes on. Find out more here.

What do I need at check-in?

Because we want to know you better: Please bring your ID document with you when you check in.

I’d like to book a studio. How can I pay?

Payments must be secure and flexible. For everyone involved. That's why you pay 30% of the total price of your booking as a deposit via bank transfer. We will send you our bank details and other information in our provisional booking confirmation. To ensure we can correctly allocate your deposit, we kindly ask you to make the payment only after receiving our preliminary booking confirmation.

Anyone who purchases the Schwarzer Adler Worry-Free Package as an additional service to the accommodation gets an extended cancellation right. The amount to be paid in advance consists of the deposit (30% of the booking price) and the cost of the Schwarzer Adler Worry-Free Package (€10.00 per night and accommodation unit).

Nobody likes to leave things half-done: So please don’t forget to transfer the deposit. For our planning purposes, we prefer to register your deposit right away or at the latest 10 days before arrival. If no deposit has been received by then, we will cancel your provisional reservation. For last-minute bookings, please make the deposit as soon as possible. 
Once we have received your payment, we’ll quickly send you your final booking confirmation: Then it's time to pack your bags and head to Schwarzer Adler!

You can conveniently pay the remaining balance of your stay on-site with cash, debit, or credit card. Please note the legal requirements for cash payments in Italy. (Limit for cash payments as of July 2024: €4,999.99).

What will there be for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

Concept Living à la Schwarzer Adler stands for freedom and flexibility. That’s why your package includes breakfast. As poet William Cowper once wrote: “Variety is the spice of life.” And you’ll find that variety in the cuisine at our Italian restaurant. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free – you’ll find everything you could wish for here. 

  • Breakfast time: 7 a.m. to 10.30 a.m.:
    • from the buffet
    • à la carte *
  • For all pizza fans: available from 11.30 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. and from 6.00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. *
  • Lunch service: 11.30 a.m. to 2 p.m. *
  • Dinner: 6.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. *

* optional choices at an additional cost for flexible vacation planning

P.S. The Italian restaurant is closed on Sundays. However, the usual winner’s breakfast will still be available in the morning!
