Hotel Milla Montis

With its res­trained and at the same time sen­sa­tional design, the South Tyrolean Milla Montis Hotel enriches the Puster Valley with an archi­tec­tural high­light. The motto of the archi­tec­tural com­pe­tition was: origin, rede­fined. A pitchfork inspired the winner of the com­pe­tition – the renowned Milan-based archi­tec­tural studio Peter Pichler Archi­tects – to create the curved shapes of the façade. The building is thus remi­niscent of the agri­cul­tural heritage of the village of Mer­ansen. With its material and building shape, the reinter­pre­tation of a wooden barn makes refe­rence to the local archi­tec­tural style. By dividing the building into four stag­gered volumes, the building structure is visually reduced and adapted to the scale of the neigh­bouring buil­dings. The curves of the façade envelope lend ele­gance and cha­racter to the plain building.
 
Nestled against a sunny slope, the hotel looks like a single-storey building on the north side; to the south, it opens up with three storeys to the pan­o­ramic view. All rooms benefit from the view of the Dolo­mites – the restaurant on the ent­rance level, which is located at the top, the 14 hotel rooms and 16 suites (all with their private loggia or terrace) and the wellness area on the lowest level. Not only is nature ever-present due to the views, it is also a per­manent guest in the house because of the local, natural mate­rials used. Light ash wood con­trasts with the outer shell of bla­ckened larch wood. Green loden brings the colour of forests and meadows into the rooms. The bar made of Passeir gneiss adds rock to the natural com­po­sition. The bath­rooms and spa are clad with black slate. The func­tional, unob­trusive style of the fur­nis­hings is tim­eless and radiates calm and comfort in equal measure. Milla Montis invites guests to focus on the essen­tials and to per­ceive the sur­roun­dings with all their senses: the mountain pan­orama, which always seems new over the course of the day; the culinary tempt­a­tions that the host and his team prepare in the open show kitchen; the scent of meadow herbs in the hay sauna or the weightless feeling in the infinity pool.

Owner

Franziska and Roland run Milla Montis together with Roland’s parents, Margareth and Benno. Roland’s parents already have 20 years of experience in the tourism sector from running their guesthouse Untermüllerhof. Roland was practically born into gastronomy, and Franziska has also long been involved with guests at her parents’ organic farm with holiday flats. Both of them actively contribute with their passions: during a bread baking course with Roland or a guided herbal tour with Franziska, they invite their guests to special activities.
