The Quellenhof began as a modest inn in 1897 in San Martino in Passiria, taken over by the Dorfer family in 1923 and grown into a 170-room South Tyrol resort of five buildings. Heinrich Dorfer demolished the old house in 2000 and rebuilt on the same site, later adding a medical center and a Lake Garda sister at Lazise. Grandma Resi's kitchen once served blue trout pulled from the Passer river.

About Quellenhof Luxury Resort
- Opened as an inn in 1897; the Dorfer family bought the rundown house in 1923 and still run it three generations later.
- After Rudolf Dorfer died at 42, widow Luise built the Forellenhof in 1973 and bought the Kennenhof, launching the family's expansion.
- Heinrich Dorfer demolished the original Quellenhof in 2000 and rebuilt on the same plot, plus a bypass tunnel that pulled traffic off the valley road.
- Five buildings now make up the Passeier resort, including the 2010 Medical Center; a sister property opened at Lazise on Lake Garda in 2019.
- The name is German for "spring court," a nod to the Passeier valley's mineral springs.
