The Lesser-Known Italian Hotels

There is a place in Merano where the charm of days gone by seems to merge with the present. It is the Steinach quarter, the medieval town center of the spa town, bordered on one side by urban liveliness, and on the other by the peace and tranquillity of the lush vegetation along the promenade on the Passer river. It is only a stone's throw from the city center to the old town. As soon as you have set foot in the historic Steinach quarter, the bustling noise falls silent and is replaced by the gentle murmur of the Passer in the distance. The Steinach Townhouse Merano welcomes its guests in this place where the pace and everyday life seem to slow down.

Monastero Arx Vivendi is a place of deceleration, a place where you can leave everyday life behind and find time to relax, enjoy, and experience in one of the most beautiful settings in Northern Italy.
