Familie Mühlmann — Naturhotel Leitlhof, ATTO & Mühlhof

Naturhotel Leitlhof is a 4-star-superior nature and spa hotel at 1,175 m on the Pustertalerstraße in Innichen / San Candido, in the Hochpustertal at the foot of the Sextner Dolomites. It has 62 rooms and suites and a 3,000 m² 'Alpin Spa' with an indoor pool, a year-round heated outdoor pool, an onsen pool at 40°, a whirlpool, four saunas and a steam bath. Board is a three-quarter 'Verwöhnpension' — breakfast, an afternoon Marende and a multi-course dinner — under head chef Markus Auer. Published from-rates run €115 to €175 per person per night depending on room category. The operating company is Leitlhof Srl, VAT IT00435540216, REA BZ-80770, registered in July 1980, share capital €676,000, 74 employees, with Robert Mühlmann named as the contact in the imprint. Filed accounts show FY2024 turnover of €7,482,170 against €5,677,869 in FY2023, with a small loss in each of the last three published years. The house is run by Evelin and Stephan Mühlmann, the second generation, who took over from Robert and Agnes Mühlmann; the handover was set in motion around the 2015 completion of the hotel's power plant. Its distinguishing feature is energy and food self-supply rather than luxury positioning. A Spanner Re² wood-block combined heat-and-power plant, fed largely with wood chips from the hotel's own forest and dried in two underground silos, is combined with rooftop photovoltaics; the company states CO2 emissions of 12.2 kg per guest per overnight stay. The hotel took over the Mühlhof farm in 1997 and works it directly: 30 to 40 Black Angus cattle that summer on the Klammbach Alm, plus vegetables, herbs, potatoes and berries grown for the hotel kitchen. Since 2024 the Mühlhof has also let two 40 m² ground-floor holiday apartments, which check in at the Leitlhof reception and may use the hotel spa for a surcharge. The hotel holds GSTC certification (certificate GSTC HAVR230121, issued 4 August 2023, expiring 3 August 2026) and was named Europe's Leading Green Hotel at the World Travel Awards. A third house, ATTO Suites & Cuisine, sits ten minutes away on Färberstraße in the town centre: four apartments and a penthouse suite, interiors in local spruce by the South Tyrolean practice Pedevilla, built in 13 months and named after Atto, a former bishop of Innichen. A public restaurant, Färber, occupies the ground floor. ATTO guests have no spa of their own — they are shuttled to the Leitlhof, collect a bathrobe basket at the Leitlhof reception and book treatments there. ATTO is registered to a different VAT number from the hotel. Commercially the three houses run on Seekda: the Leitlhof books under property code S003910 and ATTO under S003911, with Datatrans as the payment provider, while the Mühlhof apartments are sold as a room type inside the Leitlhof engine. Websites and marketing are handled by MTS online GmbH of Vintl. The Leitlhof is a member of the Wanderhotels — Best Alpine group and is listed by Eighty Four Rooms. Neither house sells vouchers online: both publish a voucher page that takes an enquiry rather than a payment.
