I am Marlene® – daughter of the Alps.
My story began 25 years ago in my homeland - South Tyrol. Here, I learned the art of ripening from apple growers, pampered by over 300 days of sunshine a year. My travels in various countries have led me to meet fantastic people. So, for my anniversary, I would like us to all contribute to writing a new chapter in my story.
Holidays in a South Tyrol farmhouse
With the ‘Red Rooster’ umbrella brand, the South Tyrolean Farmers Union offers the opportunity to live in close contact with the traditional farming culture in all its diversity. The quality brand guarantees an authentic farm life experience for guests on around 1700 farms.
Through the four pillars “Farm holidays”, “Quality products”, “Farm bars” and “Farm Handcrafts”, South Tyrolean outlines the travel trends of the future: authenticity and sustainability in small, hospitable structures with a homely atmosphere. Strict criteria and regular monitoring guarantee consistently high quality standards.
