We are tucked away in the vineyards, between the mountains and the valley on the outskirts of Meran with its culinary hotspots, shops, cosy cafés and Therme Meran – the stylish thermal baths. A drop of Dolce Vita in a sea of South Tyrolean groundedness. The world-famous gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle are in our neighbourhood, and the Merano 2000 skiing and hiking area is only a few minutes’ drive away.
Our roof hosts a small wellness oasis featuring a private sauna and a saltwater pool, open from early May to mid-October – both are at your disposal free of charge. To protect every guest’s privacy, access to the sauna is limited to two people at a time. No reservation required – it only takes a little time and patience if the sauna is already occupied. The short wait will be a good opportunity to unwind and relax, simply taking in the stunning natural backdrop.
Our apartments are cleaned daily between 9 am and 1 pm. Towels are changed on request. Please be aware that apartments are only cleaned while guests are not in.
We offer our guests additional services – not included in the booking price – designed to add a special touch to your stay. These include breakfast boxes (contents vary according to season) delivered to your apartment and well-stocked picnic baskets for a snack in the vineyard, both to be ordered by 12:00 noon the day before. Wine tastings in our Tasting Stodl are also available on request and at a premium.
Bookings become definitive when confirmed in writing by us, upon receipt of a 30% deposit.
Bookings cancelled up to 7 days before the arrival date are charged a 30% cancellation fee. This amount can be credited towards a new booking within 6 months of the cancellation date, subject to agreement.
Cancellations made 6 to 3 days before arrival are charged a 50% cancellation fee.
Bookings cancelled later than 3 days before arrival are charged an 80% cancellation fee.
No-shows, late arrivals and early departures are charged the full booking price.
Check-in is from 3 to 5 pm or, on request, from 2 to 4 pm.
As we spend most of our day at work in the vineyard or in the cellar, and there is no round-the-clock reception, we kindly ask you to send us a short message with your expected arrival time approx. 30 minutes in advance. This will give us the chance to prepare for what we enjoy most: welcoming our guests personally!
Checkout is from 8 to 10 am.
Early check-in is possible subject to availability and by prior arrangement.
Late checkout is possible for a fee and subject to availability – if you are interested, please let us know when you’re here.
At Pratenberg Lodge, we specialise in offering an experience focused on wine culture, rest and relaxation. As such, we are not geared towards catering for the specific needs of children. However, we are happy to offer advice to help you plan your family holiday. Get in touch – we are here to assist!
Apartment 005 in the farmhouse building is equipped to accommodate guests travelling with their dog. Please contact us to enquire about availability.
All our apartments are strictly non-smoking areas. Smoking is permitted in the inner court and on private terraces, but please be considerate of other guests who may be enjoying breakfast al fresco or simply the pure mountain air.
