Why we picked this hotel
Villa Arnica feels like a South Tyrolean summer house from another era, with a 1925 villa, orchard gardens, mountain views and a slower rhythm that makes the whole place feel quietly cinematic
Hotel description
Villa Arnica sits in Lana, between Merano and Bolzano, surrounded by vineyards, gardens, palms, and South Tyrolean mountain views. It has the feeling of a private country villa rather than a hotel, with a nostalgic, quietly elegant atmosphere shaped by old radios, books, fruit trees, shaded paths, and long breakfasts by the pool house. The stay is slow and grown-up, with an adults-only setting, a heated garden pool, yoga mats in the rooms, and access to the spa, yoga classes, guided hikes, and fitness room at neighbouring Hotel Schwarzschmied. It works especially well for travellers who want countryside calm, good food, and a gentle wellness rhythm without a resort feel.
Our take on the stay
Eliza

It works beautifully for travellers who want South Tyrol without the usual alpine heaviness, with palms, vineyards, pool days, garden breakfasts and Merano close by

This is great
A villa that feels like a friend's country house
Warm, personal and refreshingly unhotel-like.A garden you'll actually spend time in
The pool, poolhouse and gardens are at the heart of the experience.An honesty bar instead of room service
A small detail that perfectly captures the spirit of the place.Breakfast by the poolhouse
One of the little rituals guests remember most.Surrounded by vineyards and mountains
A beautiful base for exploring South Tyrol.Designed for slowing down
Books, bikes, long breakfasts and afternoons by the pool naturally become the routine.

About the destination
Lana, South Tyrol
Lana sits in South Tyrol between orchards, vineyards, and the mountains that rise toward the Dolomites, with a slower pace than the nearby city of Merano. The area is known for its walking trails, traditional alpine villages, and long growing seasons that keep the landscape green for much of the year. Villa Arnica is set within this setting, surrounded by gardens and historic villas that reflect the calm, understated character of the region.

About the destination
San Vigilio
The San Vigilio Cable Car rises directly from Lana into the mountains above the valley, leading to the quiet Vigiljoch plateau, where forest trails, alpine huts, and a small ski area create a slower, more relaxed side of the South Tyrolean Alps during winter.
