Giardino Marling *****

The area around Merano/Meran is one of those places that is almost outrageously blessed with breathtaking nature, wonderful weather and enchanting little towns. With the majestic mountains behind you and Mediterranean joie de vivre at your feet, here in South Tyrol you can enjoy yourself like a king on his summer retreat. He would probably choose the Giardino in Marling near Merano as his residence, a luxurious spa hotel infused with the lightness of the Mediterranean. A house nestled in apple orchards and situated on a hill with a sweeping view over beautiful Merano/Meran in South Tyrol.

A place that was created for a single purpose and has been continually expanded, modernized and embellished: To guarantee guests a feel-good experience they won't soon forget.

Why the Giardino is ahead in so many ways: Firstly, there is the detached and absolutely record-breaking location in the middle of nature; or, of course, the light-flooded SPA area with its impressive 1,700 square meters of space and a paradisiacal, elegant and calming wellness world between a new pool on the roof terrace, the natural stone pool with salt water in the garden, the whirlpool, the saunas, the steam bath, the soothing massages and treatments. No matter how tense, stressed or energized you are: After an hour in this magnificent oasis of calm, you'll have forgotten why you were so unrelaxed in the first place.

Wrapped up in the fluffy bathrobes, you return to your room, which is worth the trip in itself. With great attention to soothing colors and an eye for high-quality materials, the airy rooms and spacious suites are real retreats that guarantee peace, expansive views and comfort. Yes, the feeling of alienation that hotel guests sometimes have in lovelessly designed rooms is replaced here by a deep bliss that one secretly always hopes for but so rarely finds. (And) is immediately continued on the palate: Classics of South Tyrolean cuisine and Mediterranean delicacies, imaginatively prepared, go hand in hand with excellent wines from the new walk-in wine room, where a proud 300 positions are stored.

The only agony up here above the rooftops of Merano is the choice. And there are worse things, aren't there?

Of course, you can enjoy your meal on the fantastic sun terrace with a view that is practically endless. You can have breakfast and dine outdoors here 180 days a year - thanks to the uniquely mild climate here near Merano.
We said it at the beginning:
It's almost outrageous how beautiful it is here.
