Perhaps the Most Beautiful Family Farm in South Tyrol – With Lovable Design, Cuddly Animals, and Space to Be a Kid
There are places you enter – and suddenly everything feels so effortless. Without many words, simply because everything feels right: the scent of wood, the silence of the mountains, the way the kids naturally spread out in all directions – a feeling of freedom, security, and real family time on a farm in South Tyrol. And you? You stand by the window a little longer with your cup of coffee, gazing at the mountains.
Welcome to O’Mama Family Time – one of those little gems where old walls and new vibes come together so naturally.
And right in the heart of Mühlbach – a small village at the entrance to the Puster Valley that has everything you truly need: a local butcher, a bakery, a pizzeria just around the corner, and that wonderful feeling of having arrived. Not a hotspot yet, but a true hidden gem: relaxed, authentic, and pleasantly unhurried. Instead of selfie spots and tourist hustle, here you’ll find real South Tyrolean life – simple and unpretentious.
When a Farm Becomes a Labor of Love
The over 500-year-old farm has been passed down through generations of Veronika and Martin’s family. Some of the wooden beams, which now support the roof or rest beneath climbing slides, quietly creak with stories from the past. When Martin’s father handed over the farm, there was just one wish: “Make something beautiful out of it.” And that’s exactly what they did. Veronika and Martin, both with a keen sense for design and authenticity, transformed the old farm into a favorite spot. One that doesn’t flaunt design, but is filled with heart. One that doesn’t aim for perfection, but stays true to its roots.
And so, a special retreat was born: a stylish, family-run farm in South Tyrol that redefines family holidays with breakfast, heart, and a real connection to farm life.
Beauty with Soul – Where Design Meets Passion
Upon arrival, you step into what’s known as the “living room,” which is far more than just a communal space. The heart of the house – bathed in warm light, featuring Japandi style, and an atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at ease. You naturally prefer to walk around in socks – not just because it feels like home, but because the wood comes directly from the family’s own forest. Above the tables hang charming flower lamps, casting a soft glow on the old walls in the evening. Amidst the large bookshelf, a reading nook by the fireplace, and the Honesty Bar with fine wines, you’ll meet other families, chat with hostess Veronika, or simply enjoy the quiet – while the kids are lost in their world in the adjacent playroom.
Everything in the house carries the signature of Veronika and Martin, who, together with their three children, not only live here but also fill O’Mama Family Time with palpable passion.
Here, you live amidst the scent of wood and the whispers of rabbits, between mud play areas and fireplace warmth – with a mountain view that opens your heart. It’s a home that doesn’t need to shout to be unforgettable. The quiet, loving details make O’Mama Family Time a true gem.
A Place for True Togetherness
O’Mama Family Time is a place for families – and just as much for friends. For everyone who wants to celebrate togetherness, sit around the campfire in the evening, grill, and reflect on the day. For cozy living room moments, for sharing and being together. Family time at O’Mama Family Time isn’t defined by an overload of activities, but by what truly matters: real connection, freedom for little adventures, and spaces where everyone can be exactly who they are.
Seven Rooms, Swings, and a Sky Full of Stars
The rooms? Seven in total. All unique, all beautifully designed. High up in the attic, you’ll find a peaceful retreat – with soft colors, historic beams, clean lines, and windows that allow you to watch the stars sparkle in the evening. For the little ones, there are cribs, and for the bigger kids, cozy nooks. Retreats for everyone – and an elevator that makes arrival with luggage and children a breeze.
On the roof, there’s also a mini spa – with a sauna and warm and cold pools. For the kids, it’s a giant bathtub with a view, and for the parents, a quiet place to unwind.
Breakfast with a View & Farm Feeling – That’s How Mornings Taste in South Tyrol
And then there’s breakfast. Everything served is either from the region or straight from the farm: homemade apple puree from Veronika’s family farm in Merano, fresh eggs from happy hens, jam that tastes like summer.
If you’d like, you can join in the milking process, either in the morning or evening – and enjoy the fresh milk the next day in your muesli or cocoa.
Where Being a Kid Makes Eyes Sparkle
While inside, building, reading, painting, and playing fills the day, the adventure begins outside. The farm is car-free, the grounds are spacious, and the freedom is immense – just like the joy of discovery.
For children, O’Mama Family Time is a small paradise. Right next to the house, there’s a large mud play area with a water stream, sandpit, and shovels in all shapes. Mud pants? We’ve got them in all sizes.
Just next door, there are petting goats and rabbits hopping curiously out of their barn. Anyone who likes can help with feeding or simply watch – no schedule, just being in the moment.
In the creative room, kids can do pottery, crafting, or painting – depending on mood, whim, and the day. Inside, the indoor playroom is full of wild fun: a large climbing area made of local wood, two slides, a trampoline, and stacking stones that inspire endless new ideas. In the cozy corner, there’s reading, relaxing, or just a quiet moment to breathe.
The entire outdoor area is lovingly designed, safe, and easy to navigate – so you can let the kids roam free.
And the parents? They join in. Or sit back and relax. Sometimes in the garden on a lounge chair, sometimes by the panoramic window. Or simply in the moment.
Experience the Surroundings
The view beyond the horizon isn’t left out either. With the South Tyrol Guest Pass, you can travel for free by bus and train – whether to the charming town of Brixen for a stroll, to the nearby spa to warm up, or right into the surrounding mountains. From the Woody Walk on the Plose to the Milchsteig to the Fane Alm. Veronika and Martin are happy to share their favorite trails and insider tips. Instead of ticking off a list of sights, here you dive into the region, feel, smell, and taste it together as a family.
A real favorite spot is the Kircherhof – with fine South Tyrolean cuisine and a playground right at the door. For pizza in between, there’s the Mühlbacher Klause around the corner. And for those who love natural wines, a visit to the small, charming wineries in the Eisack Valley is a must – like the Santerhof, where true character wines are made with a lot of heart.
The best part? All of this works wonderfully without a car. For those who want to relax, you can easily travel by train – or get there from Munich in under three hours by car.
O’Mama Family Time is one of those rare places that reimagines family holidays on a farm in South Tyrol – honest, thoughtful, and full of feeling. A house that doesn’t need to be loud to leave a lasting impression. It creates space for everything that often gets overlooked in everyday life: freedom, closeness, play, and time.
