Giardino Marling  

Perched on the sunny slopes above Merano in Marlengo, this 5-star hideout sits about 2.5 miles from Merano and 0.6 miles from Marlengo train station. You’re minutes from local lifts and trails, with the Mittelstation ski lift and Wildspitze close by.

New rooms and suites blend clean lines, warm natural materials and plenty of light. Expect parquet floors, furnished balconies with garden and mountain views, LCD TVs and luxurious bathrooms. The hotel’s Sky Spa on the third floor and a 1,700 m² Wellness World are standout features.

Indoor and outdoor pools, a heated rooftop pool, garden hot tub, saunas, steam bath and massage rooms keep the wellness vibe strong. You’ll also find a fitness center, tennis court, ping-pong, library and a kids’ playroom, plus free bike rental, guided hiking tours, sun loungers and free on-site parking. Pets are welcome.

Free Wi‑Fi throughout the property and on-site parking make short work of practical needs. An elevator and laundry/press services add convenience.

Start with a sweet-and-savory breakfast buffet featuring cold cuts, cheeses and homemade jams and cakes. The hotel restaurant (for guests) serves regional and Mediterranean dishes, with summer terrace dining, plus an on-site bar for evening drinks.
