Golserhof is a small four-star superior hotel in Dorf Tirol, on the slope above Meran in South Tyrol. Vineyards and apple orchards surround the house, and from the terrace the view reaches across Meran to the mountains around it, at its best around sunset. The farm has carried the name Golserhof since around 1400, and the owners run the hotel themselves with their team.
With only 30 rooms the house stays quiet and personal, and the hosts put their effort into the small things that make a stay feel looked after rather than processed.
The heated infinity pool looks straight out over the valley, and up on the roof there are whirlpools with the same panorama. The hotel's spa adds to that, and the terrace has loungers for the slow hours in between.
The kitchen cooks creative dishes built on South Tyrolean flavours and on produce from farms in the region, with a cheese buffet among the things guests remember.
For anyone who wants to be out and about, hiking trails start close to the hotel, the mountains of the Texel group are within reach, and the arcades, cafés and promenades of Meran are only a short trip down the hill. Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement.
