Some places feel familiar right from the start — quiet, inviting and genuine. They immediately create an atmosphere in which you feel comfortable. The Golserhof in Dorf Tirol, located above Merano, is such a place. Small, personally guided, with a view that goes further than just across the roofs of the Adige Valley — and yet it is not just the view that remains in the memory. It is the quiet moments, the keen sense for details, the pleasant self-evident nature with which everything fits together here.
Some places feel familiar right from the start — quiet, inviting and genuine. They immediately create an atmosphere in which you feel comfortable. The Golserhof in Dorf Tirol, located above Merano, is such a place. Small, personally guided, with a view that goes further than just across the roofs of the Adige Valley — and yet it is not just the view that remains in the memory. It is the quiet moments, the keen sense for details, the pleasant self-evident nature with which everything fits together here.
The Golserhof is not a typical wellness hotel. With just 25 rooms and suites, it is one of the smaller hotels in the region — and that is exactly what makes it particularly attractive. This is not about quantity, but about quality and proximity. The family-run business places considerable value on individuality. From reception to farewell, you feel as if you were not just a guest, but welcome.
The host Bianchi family, together with a warm, professional team, ensures that every stay feels personal. It is the way to reserve your favorite spot on the terrace after the first conversation or how a friendly look announces your favorite drink at the breakfast table in the morning.
As soon as you enter the house, you notice the clear, elegant lines — modern but not cool. Light wood, soft earth tones, warm light. There is a whiff of citrus and herbs in the air, subtle but invigorating. The view wanders outside through the spacious window fronts — across vineyards and apple orchards, to the rugged peaks of the Texel Group.
There is a quiet harmony in the Golserhof. Not an exaggerated presentation, but a genuine style that relaxes. Perhaps it is this unagitated elegance that immediately gives a feeling of peace.

The rooms and suites at the Golserhof are more than just sleeping places — they are small oases of well-being. Reduced in design, equipped with high-quality natural materials, they convey peace and comfort. The beds are spacious, with mattresses that hug the body and sheets that feel soft and cool at the same time.
Almost all rooms have a balcony or terrace with panoramic views. If you wake up early, you can watch the first light touch the summits — a quiet luxury that cannot be measured in stars.
The cuisine at Golserhof surprises — in the best sense of the word. Breakfast is a balanced mix of regional specialities and fine homemade products: fresh bread, local cheeses, local fruit, hot egg dishes à la minute.
In the evening, the restaurant serves a menu that combines Mediterranean lightness with alpine tradition. Herbs from our own garden, meat from local producers, homemade pasta — everything with a keen sense of balance. Plus a well-stocked wine list with selected wines from South Tyrol and beyond.
The culinary experience is not pompous, but well-thought-out, easy, honest — just like the hotel itself.
The spa area is not huge, but it is just right proportioned. Two heated pools — one indoor, one outdoor —, various saunas, a light-filled relaxation room with panoramic views. If you close your eyes, you only hear the soft rippling of the water and the chirping of the birds outside.
Massages and treatments are carried out using high-quality natural products — individually tailored and professionally implemented. The small garden with a hot tub, where you can relax with a view of the mountains, is particularly beautiful.
Dorf Tirol is ideally located: close to Merano, but quiet enough for relaxing days. From the hotel, you can go on numerous hikes — directly into the Texel Group or leisurely along the Waal trails. If you like sports, you will find mountain bike trails and via ferratas.
Merano with its leafy alleys, the thermal baths and the gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle can be reached in just a few minutes. And yet the Golserhof feels like a small world of its own — quiet, familiar, a retreat with far-reaching views.
It's not just about staying overnight, but about arriving — with yourself, in nature and in a house that is run with heart.
You leave Golserhof with a feeling of lightness — and the desire to return soon.
