An ingenious mix of old and new, plus the perfect place to relax for a few days: Since mid-April the VillaVerde Aparthotel in Algund near Merano welcomes its guests. A historic Art Nouveau villa from 1908 was carefully and stylishly extended with a modern new building. The result is a kind of Gesamtkunstwerk, enthroned in the middle of a park, with a panoramic view over the mountains. Three women from the Oberhofer-Kiniger hotelier family stand behind this gem. Heidi and her daughters Judith and Paula set tasteful accents throughout the house with unique finds from flea markets, antique shops and corner shops. Old gold-set mirrors and antique lamps, chairs and armchairs complement modern design classics, for example by Thonet, Nanimarquina and Vincent Sheppard. And the colourful wallpapers with plant and animal motifs were created especially for the house by the creative studio Peppis from South Tyrol.
