Serviced Apartments in Merano

Sitting comfortably in a basin surrounded by gracious mountains this town in south Tyrol is known as the City of Flowers and offers an incredible mix of sights and attractions for anyone renting a holiday letting or service apartment in Merano.

As with the majority of Italian towns and cities Merano too has an historic centre which is well worth exploring. Take a short stroll from your apartment rental or serviced residence to the ancient city gates. The Porta Venosta or city gates date back some 800 years and on entering you will find yourself transported back in time. Wander through the Piazza del Grande and, if you are lucky, you may even find the market here selling a bounty of fresh, locally grown produce. The pedestrianized main street, Via Portico, is lined with beautiful, ancient houses and vast stunning porticos dating back to the 1100s which house some delightful shops offering plenty of mementos of your holiday.

Here you will also find the city’s Duomo or cathedral, built between 700 and 800 years ago. This grand, gothic structure boasts the most impressive frescoes adorning it’s interior. If you make your way along the narrow back streets and winding lanes you will discover some really lovely little houses with quaint shuttered windows and eye-catching sculptures adorning their facades.

The vast, imposing structure of Trauttmansdorff Castle is just a short journey from your Merano holiday apartment or aparthotel and houses the Museum of Tourism. The castle sits in the most delightful botanical garden to which access is free. The gardens were first created by Count Trauttmansdorff in the mid 1800s and here you will find stunning terraced and water gardens including an English and an Italian garden, a Japanese forest, tea plantations and rice terraces. The sun gardens boast a rich variety of Mediterranean flora including grapevines, figs, fragrant lavender, an olive grove and, of course, elegant cypresses. The perfect place to spend a sunny afternoon.
