Details
Built in 1894 in the historicist style, the villa in Merano was converted into a guesthouse in the 1970s and has been used for tourism ever since. The original flair of the historic town villa had been lost through various conversions. Restoring this and giving the house its own personality was the aim of the last conversion and the tailor-made interior design. With the specially developed furniture design, high-quality materials and the best craftsmanship, the villa has become a gem with nine spacious rooms with stylishly designed bathrooms and a shared breakfast room and lounge with garden.
The Jury‘s Statement
