Apartment Villa Alvarium in Südtirol, Schenna / IT – Italy

Apartment Villa Alvarium

Situated on a sunny hillside above the tranquil South Tyrolean town of Merano, the modernist Villa Alvarium offers sweeping pan­o­ramic views of the sur­rounding moun­tains and valleys. The land­scape here is cha­rac­te­rised by a charming mixture of rugged moun­tains, tranquil vineyards and Medi­ter­ranean flair.

Located on the garden level, the flat can accom­modate up to six people and con­sists of two bed­rooms, each with a large bathroom. There is an addi­tional sleeping option on a sofa bed in the living area, which can be sepa­rated by a screen. The open-plan, modern room with kitchen island and lounge area is con­nected to the south and west-facing terrace by large glass fronts. Another flat above offers space for four people — the two bed­rooms are spread over the two levels. Both the fully glazed living area and the roof terrace in front offer views far beyond Merano. Both flats are modern and fur­nished with indi­vidual design classics. The exposed con­crete cei­lings and walnut parquet flo­oring create a loft-like atmo­sphere, while ochre-coloured window and wall recesses, colourful tex­tiles and modern works of art provide indi­vidual colour accents.

The par­tially covered sun ter­races can be used almost all year round — the climate is won­derfully mild except for a few months of the year. Sur­rounded by the diverse nature of South Tyrol, the villa offers a charming blend of sim­plicity and warmth, for those who love hiking and those seeking peace and quiet.

Die Wohnung besticht durch den tollen Blick durch die riesige Fens­ter­front über Wein­berge in die weite Süd­ti­roler Land­schaft! Die Küchen­ein­richtung bzw. ‑aus­stattung ist sehr gut. Ansonsten ist die Wohnung eher funk­tional ein­ge­richtet. Die Bäder sind ohne Fenster und sehr eng. “Son­nen­an­beter” werden die beiden großen Ter­rassen genießen. Wir fanden es sehr bequem, dass die Anfahrt zu vielen Tou­ris­ten­ziele sehr kurz ist; zum Trautt­mans­dorff Garten, in die Innen­stadt von Meran, zur Gondel nach Meran 2000 usw.

Sabine und Manfred sagt:

Wir haben einen wun­der­baren Urlaub in der Wohnung der Villa Alvarium ver­bracht. Die ganze Aus­stattung ist auf Luxus­niveau: von Küchen­ge­räten über Möbel und Geschirr bis Matratzen. Der Blick ist umwerfend, die Lage ideal und zentral. Jos ist ein wun­der­barer Gast­geber, der seinen Gästen jeden Wunsch erfüllt. Man ist völlig privat und es ist nicht ein Laut aus der dar­unter — oder darüber lie­genden Feri­en­wohnung zu hören. Urlaubs­ent­spannung pur. Wir kommen nächstes Jahr wieder!

K. Mart sagt:

Die per­fekte Kom­bi­nation zwi­schen einer tollen Wohnung in einer aus­sichts­reichen Lage, super Aus­stattung (es ist einfach an alles gedacht) und einem — so noch nie erlebten — per­fekten Gast­geber. Vielen Dank, Jos!

S. Biegel sagt:

Ein ganz beson­deres Refugium. Jos als“Hausherr” ist ein her­vor­ra­gender Gast­geber, der unseren Urlaub völlig stimmig gemacht hat. Alles was unter “Warum wir dieses Haus mögen” zu lesen ist, trifft 100%ig zu. Wir kommen wieder.
