    A peaceful located boutique B&B with 11 rooms and suites in Merano's green and historic heart

    Steinach Townhouse is a true gem for those who love small-scale stays filled with charm and personal attention. Nestled in Merano, a city in South Tyrol surrounded by mountains yet exuding a Mediterranean vibe, complete with palm trees, flowers, and lush greenery, it's a destination well worth exploring.

    Here, you'll be staying in the oldest district of Merano, where tranquility and greenery prevail, and the streets are lined with historical buildings. Among them is this lovingly restored 19th-century property, transformed into a charming accommodation. A design B&B that strikes the perfect balance between modernity, authenticity, and warm hospitality—ideal for a peaceful stay right in the heart of the city.

    Steinach district

    Steinach Townhouse is located in the namesake Steinach district of Merano, a peaceful neighborhood with a unique blend of medieval streets and historic buildings. As you stroll through the narrow lanes, surrounded by colorful houses and flower-filled balconies, you can feel the rich history of the city. The iconic Merano Cathedral, with its distinctive tower, offers beautiful views of the surrounding area.

    What makes this part of Merano particularly appealing is its combination of tranquility and proximity to nature. Just a short walk from the historic center, you'll find the Winter and Summer Promenades, two scenic walking routes along the river, lined with Mediterranean plants such as Japanese maples, magnolias, and palm trees. Here, you can escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy the serenity, with only the gentle sound of the river in the background. It’s a perfect spot to recharge, while still being close to all of Merano's main attractions.

    Comfortable rooms and suites

    The property boasts a total of 11 spacious rooms and suites, each one unique. The rooms are a blend of past and present, featuring South Tyrolean furniture and custom-designed pieces created specifically for this project. As soon as you step into one of the rooms, you’ll notice the careful attention to detail—everything from the colors and textures to the materials used. The result is harmonious, minimalist spaces that are a true pleasure to relax in. The beds, praised by many travelers for their exceptional comfort, guarantee a restful night’s sleep. Families with children will also find plenty of space in the suites. Additionally, each room offers a well-appointed bathroom with luxury toiletries, a bottle of water, and coffee and tea facilities, adding to the overall comfort of your stay.

    Homemade breakfast

    Start your day with a delightful breakfast in the cozy breakfast room, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and homemade cakes welcomes you. The room is furnished with pieces from the 1930s and illuminated by Le Corbusier design lamps, creating an intimate atmosphere that beautifully blends the past and present. On sunny days, you can also enjoy your breakfast on the beautiful terrace—an idyllic oasis right in the heart of the city.

    A memorable stay

    This exceptional destination came to life when designers Roger Botti and Giulia de Andreis, driven by their passion for interior design, renovated a historic building in the heart of Merano. Their vision transformed the property into the unique place it is today. Later, they joined forces with hospitality experts Andrea Fenoglio and Katalin Huff, who brought their years of experience in gastronomy and hospitality to the project.

    Andrea Fenoglio, renowned for his Michelin-starred Restaurant Sissi and Pizzeria 357 in Merano, and Katalin Huff, known for her warm and personal approach to hospitality, ensure that a stay at Steinach Townhouse offers more than just comfort. Their dedication to excellence creates a place where guests feel truly at home, experiencing the same high standards found in their restaurants. The result is a refined, personal experience where design, gastronomy, and hospitality seamlessly come together.

    During your stay at this unique address in Merano, a visit to one of the owners' restaurants is a must. Indulge in a long evening of fine dining at Restaurant Sissi or opt for a delicious homemade pizza at Pizzeria 357. In both restaurants, you’ll taste the passion for high-quality cuisine and refined wines, all while enjoying the cozy and warm atmosphere that makes these dining experiences truly special.

    Versatile Merano

Visit the stunning Trauttmansdorff Gardens, take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque promenades, or explore the stylish boutiques in the historic center. After a day of discoveries, unwind at one of the many cozy cafés and restaurants, where both local and international cuisine await you. For ultimate relaxation, visit the famous thermal baths, while in winter, Merano 2000 is perfect for skiing and other winter sports. In short, it's a city brimming with year-round experiences for every type of traveler.
