DolceVita Hotel Alpiana Resort
Architecturally distinctive wellness resort with a warm, family-run feel. Clean lines and natural materials (stone, oak, walnut, glass) meet Mediterranean pool gardens and alpine mountain views. Active and relaxed at the same time.
Tuesday Night Spa: ALCIELO stays open until 11pm every Tuesday at no extra charge — adults only. Build your week around this.
Why It Matters
Third-generation family-run resort (Margesin family) part of the five-hotel Dolce Vita Hotels collection. The standout is the adults-only Sky Spa ALCIELO on floors 4-5 with 360° panoramic Dolomite views and a rooftop pool. The 'hotel hopping' perk — book one property and access the facilities of all five Dolce Vita hotels — is genuinely unusual and adds significant value. Certified Belvita Leading Hotel for wellness quality.
On a sunny slope above Lana, 14 km from Merano and surrounded by apple orchards and chestnut groves, the Alpiana is a four-star superior hotel built around contrasts that genuinely work. Architect Georg Hueber designed something bold and linear that still manages to settle softly into the landscape — stone, oak, walnut, lots of glass. The third-generation Margesin family runs the place, and it shows: the details are looked after. A 17,000 sqm Mediterranean garden with five pools, an adults-only rooftop sky spa with 360° Dolomite views, and a hotel-hopping perk that gives you access to four other Dolce Vita properties make this one of the stronger value propositions in South Tyrol's wellness hotel market.
