This boutique hotel encapsulates Merano's beguiling mix of stately sophistication, natural beauty and gently bohemian backstory. The remodelled townhouse has nine rooms scattered over three floors, and is set among terraced vineyards a scant five-minute walk from the arcades of the centre. Individually furnished, antique-strewn rooms evoke different moods, each highlighting the different landscape glimpsed from the window.
The seasonal, multicourse breakfasts served by the young and supercommitted staff are a highlight, both because of the beautiful conservatory where they are served and for the care and attention with which they are prepared. There are discounts if you stay four nights or more, and if you book directly and arrive by train.
