The property’s first recorded mention comes from 1357, and the same family has owned the hotel since the 1500s. A Roman milestone from 46 A.D. sits in front of the inn. In other words, travelers have been flocking to this spot for centuries.
However, Hotel Hanswirt has hardly sacrificed guest comfort for historic appeal and authenticity. It also offers a Mediterranean garden and wellness park with a spa, year-round pools and saunas. The award-winning restaurant focuses on regional cuisine. The 22 guestrooms and suites overlook the gardens and mountains. Activities include hiking, golfing and cycling, and guests enjoy complimentary access to public transit and area museums. The whole time, you’re just a short drive from the spa town of Merano.

The best part? You can get all of this at rates starting at just $170 per night, inclusive of breakfast.
