Property details

A relaxed stay with gourmet dining and breathtaking alpine surrounds in Italy's gorgeous South Tyrol, including breakfast, dinner, guided hikes and wellness perks. Non-refundable hotel
  • Mountain idylls: Sealing the deal for gourmands and spa aficionados who fancy a jaunt in northern Italy’s spectacular South Tyrol province, Hotel Der Waldhof is a perfect pick. As far as settings go, it doesn’t get lovelier, with a gorgeous mountainous landscape providing a breathtaking backdrop for a dreamy sojourn. Divided between two buildings (one modern and one more traditional), all rooms impress with contemporary wooden decor, soothing earthy hues, and plenty of mod cons.

  • One-of-a-kind dining experience: Discerning gourmands will adore Waldhof Gourmet, the signature fine dining restaurant that opens for sumptuous a la carte dinners, and without doubt the hotel’s raison d'être. Additionally, try Waldhof Hotel Bar, Restaurant & Terrace for Mediterranean and South Tyrolean specialities, end-of-day cocktails, or sundowners with breathtaking views of the Merano mountain landscape.

  • Next-level pampering: The spa has a large indoor pool heated to 30°C as well as a hot tub, bio sauna, Finnish sauna, infra-red cabin, dry steam bath, Kneipp water path, salt brine steam bath, experience showers, and a relaxation area. Beauty-lovers can enjoy a range of feel-good treatments (massages, skin-specific facials, body wraps, scrubs, reflexology) as well as manicures, pedicures, waxing, and eyebrow tinting.

How to get there

The hotel is located in South Tyrolean town of Völlan. The nearest airport is Bolzano Airport, which is just over 30 kilometres away and takes roughly half an hour by car. Beyond South Tyrol, the nearest international airports are Innsbruck in the north and Verona in the south.

Via Mayenburg 32, I-39011 Völlan (near Merano), South Tyrol, Italy

You’ll be staying outskirts of Völlan, just 20 minutes from Merano - the South Tyrol spa town that became a go-to spot for European royalty, nobility, and aristocracy following Empress Elisabeth of Austria’s visit in the 1870’s. Here you can work your way around the spas and Art Nouveau buildings, marvel at the Gothic cathedral, and stop by at the Museum of Tourism (known as Touriseum) that’s the first museum in the Alpine region dedicated exclusively to the history of tourism.

Further must-dos including exploring the forests and vineyards in the idyllic countryside, playing a few rounds at Lana Golf Club (a 10-minute drive away), and visiting the nearby city of Bolzano for its fabulous churches, Belle Epoque buildings, and prehistoric Ice Man.
