We want to be an alpine hideaway that immediately enchants. Far from everyday life. Close to nature,” says Klaus Alber, who runs the hotel together with his wife Carmen with palpable passion. And he’s right. When the sun is out, standing on the terrace high above Merano, gazing across the valley and into the surrounding peaks, one quickly understands: Miramonti is not just charming, fresh, and youthful. It’s truly one of a kind.
The Rooms
Over recent years, Carmen and Klaus have carefully redesigned the entire place. All rooms were renovated using regional materials and equipped with thoughtful details like private saunas or luxurious Hästens beds. The bathrooms are beautifully understated, some even integrated into the living space. The design walks a line between mountain lodge and boutique hotel. The materials? White fir, concrete, sheep’s wool, handwoven linen, tanned leather – 100% made in Italy.
What unites them all is the stunning view. Every room opens with large windows toward the mountains, drawing nature right inside.
Wellness
The spa area is cleverly designed and rich in architectural detail. Ancient porphyry rock beneath the house was used to shape parts of the floor and even the water taps. There’s a sauna, steam bath, elevated forest sauna, treatment rooms, and a generous relaxation zone that invites true stillness. Since 2019, a fitness room and hillside yoga studio complete the wellness experience at Miramonti.
Highlights
The pools are another highlight. The infinity pool, measuring 16 by 5 meters, extends out toward the dramatic landscape. It’s kept at 32°C all year and filled with healing saltwater. Since 2019, there’s also a Japanese-style onsen pool a short walk uphill. Heated to 40°C and open year-round, it offers quiet immersion under the open sky.
The Restaurants
Despite being a boutique hotel, Miramonti houses three distinct restaurants. Each offers a different experience. “Klassik” is simple, elegant, and unmistakably Italian. “Die Stube” puts a modern spin on South Tyrolean tradition. And in the “Panorama Restaurant,” fine dining from around the world is served – with views to match.
Since 2025, just 300 meters from the main building, three new residences stand at the forest’s edge: the Monti Houses. Designed by Merano-based designer Harry Thaler, they reflect a philosophy of grounding and quietude – understated luxury in the woods. Each unit accommodates two to five guests and includes a sauna and cold pot on their own terrace. Naturally, guests of the Monti Houses have full access to the spa and restaurants of the main hotel. Breakfast is included, too.
Ideal For
Couples with an eye for beauty. Families across generations. Anyone seeking something quietly extraordinary and finding it.
Combine With
A few nights at Miramonti. Then onward to Lake Garda and the Villa Arcadio in Salò. From there, a final stop at Dai Gresy in the Piedmont hills.
