Before my marriage to Franz Winkler I worked as an elementary school teacher. In 1982 I moved from my hometown of Marlengo to the village located on the opposite side of the valley, Scena, where Hotel Kiendl is located. For many years now I have worked in our hotel in Scena near Merano, first alongside my husband Franz and then together with my children Barbara and Hannes. Contact with guests and staff gives me a deep sense of satisfaction. I am especially happy when I see our regular hotel guests again, who have now become our friends.

I studied business administration and management and then worked for a global auditing company. Since 2017 I've been working at the Hotel Kiendl in the Val di Nova near Merano and I'm involved wherever people need me, especially in administration and reception. For me, a holiday at Kiendl means: arriving, slowing down and enjoying South Tyrol - in a pleasant, modern ambience with tradition.

I grew up in the Kiendl together with my brother Hannes. I completed a tourism college and an apprenticeship in fruit growing and viticulture. My area of responsibility is very varied and you will find me in the hotel mostly at reception or in service: wherever I am needed, I am happy to help out and enjoy talking to our guests. I am also currently training to become a hiking guide. I know all the hiking trails in Merano and Environs and am happy to give our guests tips for their active holiday in Merano and Environs.

Michl is a passionate farmer and works on the 45,000 m² apple orchard and vineyard around the Hotel Kiendl in the Naiftal valley near Merano and on the Kiendl-Alm. In Freiberg, near Merano, he runs his Bachlerhof apple and wine estate, where he particularly enjoys growing wine. We use the fruit we grow ourselves to make jams and our naturally cloudy apple juice.
Our twins Jakob and Mathias with their little sister Helena are the favourites of our family and our guests. They bring joy and sunshine into the house.
