Setting

I spy Merano

Admiring Merano from its lofty position on the slopes of Hafling’s picture-perfect peak, family-run Miramonti Boutique Hotel is a tonic for the soul. Built into the landscape, the hotel’s interiors draw inspiration from a minimalist Scandi style that allows private balconies and mountain-facing beds to take centre stage. Its spa at altitude is equally panoramic. And with a trio of raved-about restaurants, spotlighting regional produce, this stay has all the cosseting frills you’ll need after days outdoors in the Dolomites.

Our favourite rooms

Wherever you decide to bunk down, you’ll be blessed with salient views over the valley; but opt for the Superior Room 3rd Floor and you’ll have an eye over the glistening city of Merano, too. Interior buffs may want to stray from the light-wood Scandi style of most rooms and score the Design Loft, where moodier tones and Fitz Jansen furnishings create a striking space.

Poolside

Pick from two: the indoor-outdoor saltwater infinity pool floats calmly over the valley, just off from the main terrace. If you’d rather turn up the heat, there’s a secluded onsen pool a little further up, flanked by the forest and private, elevated sundecks.

Spa

Resting 1,230 metres above sea level, each section of Miramonti’s sprawling indoor-outdoor spa is designed to soothe with all-natural products and pacifying views. Inside, there’s a sauna, steam room and two treatment rooms; a bowered path leads out to an alfresco hot tub, cold plunge pool and second glass-walled sauna, perched at the edge of the hill with all-angle panoramas.

Packing tips

A sketchbook or camera to eternalise these otherworldly South Tyrol scenes.

Also

Food and Drink

Top Table

We’d suggest taking your plates to the terrace — whatever the weather — to get a closer look at your alpine locale.

Dress Code

Even Panorama doesn’t have a formal dress code, but pair wool tailoring with cashmere layers and you’ll fit in well with this chic crowd.

Hotel restaurant

A trio of options at Miramonti bring variety to dining a casa. Klassik-Osteria Montana is the most relaxed of the bunch, plating a varied pick of Mediterranean-inspired dishes for breakfast and dinner, as well as sweet treats for afternoon tea. Panorama Restaurant rings true to its name, with a small number of tables all focused on that soul-stirring view. Menus here have a fine-dining feel, showcasing the region’s seasonal produce (the gnocchi with foraged herbs is a notable standout). For something between the two, stop by Stube in the evenings for traditional mountain fare dished in a cosy, rustic setting — we’d go for the cheese raclette and beef tartare.

Hotel bar

The MM Bar is a welcoming, fire-warmed embodiment of evenings well spent. Drinks include all your classic cocktails (and a signature Rocco with Gin that’s an apple-cider infused favourite), as well as wines from the valley’s vineyards and a selection of locally crafted beers.

Last orders

Breakfast at Klassik and Panorama is 7.30am–11am; lunch at the latter is noon to 2pm; Klassik’s afternoon tea is 3pm–5.30pm, and dinner at all three is 7pm–9.30pm. MM Bar opens between 7.30am and midnight.

Room service

Available from the bar menu throughout the day, and during dinner hours, heartier plates can be ordered from Klassik’s menu.

Watching over the city of Merano in South Tyrol, Miramonti Boutique Hotel sits in the small village of Hafling with far-reaching views of the Dolomites.

Planes

Innsbruck Airport is your closest international option, and private transfers can be arranged for the 90-minute drive for €440 each way. If you’re arriving from within Italy, Bolzano’s regional airport is a shorter 40-minute drive; private transfers are available for €55 each way.

Trains

Merano train station is 20 minutes by car from the hotel, and has direct links to Bolzano, where frequent routes run to major cities including Milan, Verona and Munich. Private transfers to Merano are €55 each way; or €130 if you’d rather make the 50-minute drive straight to Bolzano.

Automobiles

You’ll get a free Mobilcard to use on all of South Tyrol’s public transport links during your stay, so a car won’t be essential. But if you do decide to bring a set of wheels, there’s private parking at Miramonti for €18 a night. The hotel also has a fleet of cars (including Alfa Romeos) to rent.

Other

Helicopter transfers can be arranged on request.

Worth getting out of bed for

Acquaint yourself with these alpine surroundings along the hotel’s private forest trail, wrapped around Sulfner Pond. Or, trade in your boots for a mountain bike and cycle through the Vinschgau Valley. The storied Merano 2000 offers plenty more hiking trails, and during the winter, is a well-loved hub for skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and tobogganing.

Step into your view and visit the spa town of Merano, where you’ll find the famed Thermal Baths, set in an all-glass building along the Passirio River. For cultural immersion, stop by Trauttmansdorff Castle and the Kunst Meran exhibition space, too. Self-declared and novice sommeliers can sample South Tyrol’s acclaimed labels at one of the region’s many wineries, or in-house with a private tasting.

Local restaurants

Embraced by the  Lagundo Waalweg Trail’s vineyards, Leiter am Waal is a fine-dining spot bringing an elevated touch to traditional Tyrolean fare. There’s a more modern feel to family-owned Pirbamer, where an upscale selection of farm-fresh, seasonal dishes are served with a side of mountain scenery. For something more low-key, secure a seat at Trattoria Flora — a locally loved restaurant in the heart of Merano.

Local bars

Take your pick of wine bars in Merano — Johnson & Dipoli’s owner Vincenzo offers a warm welcome and a biblical selection of locally made labels. Or, pick your pairing yourself with a bottle straight off Vinothek Relax Pizzeria’s enviable wine wall.

As soon as our reviewers have returned from this healing hotel above Merano and unpacked their skis and salopettes, a full account of their view-blessed break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Miramonti Boutique Hotel in South Tyrol…

There’s something of a theatrical air to stays at Miramonti Boutique Hotel — fittingly so, perhaps, given its proximity to where Roger Moore filmed his storied stunts in The Spy Who Loved Me

But there’s more than just a claim to the Bond franchise’s fame that gives this mystical setting its cinematic feel. The retreat, founded by husband-wife co-stars Carmen and Klaus Alber, was built to curve around the valley’s ancient volcanic rock, its natural contortions giving the rooms’ windowed walls and private balconies their scene-stealing long shot. The close-up is equally eye-catching, courtesy of an indoor-outdoor spa, peak-framing pools and private mountain-wrapped trails. At the hotel’s three restaurants, chefs conduct from the wings, spinning flavour-filled plates from seasonal produce. Concierges work behind the scenes to arrange any and all activities, and there are relaxation rooms for breaks between takes. We’d call this one Oscar-worthy performance.
