2nd place: At Villa Eden in Merano, the focus is on guests and their well-being. This charming hotel is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World and serves as a tranquil retreat for rest, relaxation, and well-being
Focus on the Individual
At Villa Eden, everything revolves around relaxation, health, and well-being. The focus is on the individual, their psychophysical well-being, and an improved self-image. The history of Villa Eden begins in 1982, when Karl Schmid followed his vision and transformed an elegant villa into Italy’s first “beauty farm.” Starting in 1993, it fell to his daughter Angelika to drive the development forward by transforming the property into one of the world’s most exclusive retreat hotels. Today, this adults-only establishment stands as a Leading Hotel of the World, offering innovative cuisine, exceptional beauty and wellness treatments, and an outstanding team of medical professionals. Achieving greater inner peace, losing weight, living a healthier life—all these goals and many more are within reach! Tailored weekly programs are individually adapted to personal needs, combining the optimal blend of a relaxing luxury vacation with high-quality therapy and treatment cycles.
Healthy Indulgence
Of course, well-being is also a top priority in the kitchen at Villa Eden. Every dish is a balanced blend of flavors and nutrients, prepared with high-quality, healthy ingredients. We use the finest products, including fruits, vegetables, gluten-free grains, and fish protein.
