The house has just two apartments and you can feel the difference. Everything is designed for truly living in the space, rather than for an anonymous short stay. The interior combines warm, inviting tones with clear architectural accents: black columns, finely textured dark-wood partitions and a bathroom in a calm, pleasant shade of green. Colours and materials flow naturally into one another, creating an atmosphere that feels comfortable from the moment you arrive.

The layout has been considered down to the smallest detail. Daylight travels from the terrace deep into the interior, changing the mood of the space throughout the day. In the evening, the light becomes softer and the room settles into a sense of calm. In the bedroom, light from the bathroom gently reflects onto the walls, creating a sheltered, almost cocoon-like feeling. When the sun is out, the pergola casts fine shadows across the walls and floor — the space remains subtly in motion without ever feeling restless.

The view instead of a screen

One deliberate choice is the absence of a television. Here, it would simply feel unnecessary. The view over Merano and the mountains is always present and shifts with the light and time of day. In the morning, everything feels open and clear; in the evening, the city glows below and gives the room an entirely different depth. Whether you are sitting at the table, lying on the sofa or waking up in bed, the panorama is always part of the moment.

Thoughtful details for everyday living

The kitchen is fully equipped, but can be closed off with sliding doors so it disappears into the background when not in use. The living space stays calm and uncluttered. The bathroom, with its green colour palette, feels fresh and especially pleasant. In the morning, there is one small detail you are unlikely to forget: a bag of fresh pastries waiting on the door handle. A breakfast box is also available on request. No planning, no stress. Open the door, enjoy breakfast, and let the day begin.

Time for yourself has been considered too. Yoga mats are provided in the apartments, and a morning yoga session overlooking the valley can quickly become part of your routine. The location above Merano is ideal. The city, walks and hiking trails are all within easy reach, while in the evening you return to complete peace and quiet. With the South Tyrol Guest Pass, the region can also be explored easily without a car.
