Adults-only wellness lodge
The adults-only lodge centers on thermal saunas and mountain air, with all-inclusive South Tyrolean dining overlooking the valley.
What it’s good at
Listed
Twenty-nine suites include open-bar pours and five-course gourmet dinners above the Merano valley.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Algund Waalweg trail passes directly by the grounds, winding through the vineyards of Oberplars above the Merano basin.

The rooms
Suites look out over the valley vineyards, and select rooms come with their own private infrared cabins.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and spa
A heated rooftop sky pool looks out over the mountains, and quiet relaxation lounges hold heated water beds.
At the table
Dinner is served on the terrace above the Merano basin, with nightly menus dedicated to Alpine, Mediterranean, and vegan cooking.
How it began
Evi and Georg Bacher opened the property in 1989 as an eleven-room inn, and their family still runs it today.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
