Summer Above Merano: Quiet Days and Panoramic Views at AVIDEA

When the apple blossoms open around Merano each spring and their scent drifts through the valley, the landscape seems to change almost overnight. The slopes of Algund lie bathed in warm light, and paths wind between orchards and vineyards. About 550 metres up, above the garden village, sits the adults-only boutique hotel AVIDEA, a place that opens up space and offers views across the valley to the mountains beyond.

South Tyrol Between Mountains and Mediterranean Light

Algund is one of those South Tyrolean spots where alpine terrain meets a Mediterranean climate. Hiking trails start right in the village, cycling routes lead through the orchards, and the spa town of Merano is only a few minutes away.

AVIDEA settles quietly into this landscape. Its 29 nature suites open onto balconies or terraces facing the surroundings, with bright rooms, natural wood and warm tones echoing the mood outside. In the morning, the first light falls over the mountains into the valley, and in the evening the warmth lingers on the terraces long after sunset.

Summer Days in Tune With the Landscape

Between April and September, much of life happens outdoors. Breakfast on the panorama terrace, hours spent in the garden above the valley, a glass of wine as the sun disappears behind the mountains. The Luxury All Inclusive concept accompanies the stay without ever feeling heavy handed, built around regional produce and dishes from South Tyrol's culinary tradition.

Movement and Stillness

The Algund Waalweg trail begins right below the hotel. Back at AVIDEA, the Panorama Sky rooftop terrace opens onto the valley, where the infinity pool seems to merge with the landscape.
