Farm History

Vacation stays on a farm? It has not always been like this... The history of our farm goes back at least 700 years. In 1288 A.D. the "Hof ze Galinay" is mentioned for the first time in written sources and it seems to be obvious that the name comes from the word "collina", the hill next to the farm.

An interesting detail from the farm history is the time of the pagan farms (in German: Heidenhöfe) to which also the Ganoi farm belonged. The legend says that the inhabitants of those farms refused Christianity for a long time and tried to keep their old traditions and believes.

In 1869 the Profanter family acquired the Ganoi farm and has worked and lived on it for 5 generations. Until the middle of the 20th century the mountain farmers of South Tyrol were more or less self-sufficient. That meant a lot of hard work for the extended family. However, there was at least enough food for every family member.

After the war grandfather Josef returned home from a long time of fighting and captivity and together with his wife Ida he took over the farm. In addition he founded a building business.
In the 60s the first farms started to open for tourism and to gain an additional income by renting simple rooms to guests. Also on Ganoi farm the first holidaymakers were welcomed in those times.

Josef's oldest son Paul has run the farm for a long time, even before he became the official owner of the property. After a long period of dairy farming he switched to suckler cow husbandry, joined a cooperative and had the farming certified as organic.

Together with his wife Irmgard Paul has also developed the guest business and created an attractive holiday resort fort he nature loving guest.

Junior farmer Georg is going to run the farm from 2020 on. Many of our guests have lovely memories of their stay with us and come back several times. We'd love to welcome you to spend your holiday with us and let the unique natural beauty of our environment affect you.
