There's no other description than paradise on earth 😉
We were so happy to be guests of the family-run Hotel Sonnenheim for the second time now, and we were simply blown away. The hotel is incredibly beautiful and lovingly furnished. There's a huge sauna and relaxation area, a hotel-owned underground parking garage with truly spacious parking spaces, an indoor pool, and a small gym. The staff consists of a small and select team, characterized by their truly exceptional service. Even members of the Plank family (the family that runs the hotel) help out, which is simply fascinating. You can also taste the love that goes into the entire hotel in the food. Breakfast features a large buffet with fresh rolls from the bakery. Dinner consists of an impressive five courses, each one a true delight. It must also be said that the hotel is perfectly located. Due to its slightly exposed position, it enjoys plenty of sunshine. Furthermore, there is a bus stop just 100 meters away, with a line that goes directly to the center of Merano in 20 minutes. The surrounding forests and mountains (Texel Group, Ilfing) also offer excellent hiking opportunities. The Merano 2000 ski area is also very close.
In addition, the hotel's value for money is unbeatable and probably unmatched. We would love to come back and look forward to spending more time in one of the most beautiful places imaginable.

A truly wonderful hotel where we've now spent our second family vacation. It's in a fantastic location for the Merano 2000 hiking area, with a bus stop right outside. The service is incredibly friendly and helpful, and there's a superb spa area with saunas, a steam room, a swimming pool, and more. You can really relax and unwind while enjoying the stunning views.
The only downside: there are rarely, if ever, vegetarian or vegan options available at dinner. While they always catered to our dietary needs, which is great, I would have appreciated being able to choose them in advance.
Nevertheless, it's simply a lovely place and definitely recommended!

Great hotel in a quiet location. The rooms are large and newly furnished. The bathroom is fantastic. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. Everything at the breakfast buffet is clearly labeled. In the evening, there's a wide selection of salads and an antipasti buffet.
We'd gladly come back.

3 days in a great location, very close to the slopes! Clean and large rooms. There are 5 of us, so they're usually cramped. However, the rooms are comfortable, with two TVs. The kids had their own room with a TV. The pool is clean and warm. The adults' area is beautiful and relaxing! Everything is clean! Very kind and attentive staff! Excellent breakfast and dinner, with special attention to the kids' menus! Kudos to the family. It shows when they work with love!

Hotel located in a prime spot above Merano, where tranquility reigns supreme. Rooms have panoramic views. Refined and varied cuisine, with baby food available. Staff attentive to detail and needs. Underground parking with direct access to the hotel. Well-maintained and clean spa with massage options (recommended).
For skiers, close to Metano 2000!

Family-run hotel in a good location (Merano and the Merano2000 hiking area are easily accessible by bus). Beautiful, newly renovated rooms and a spa area. The highlight for us was the dessert buffet.

The hotel is located in a beautiful, quiet area of Avelengo.
The hotel is very well-kept and quiet. The food is also excellent and, above all, delicious! We also used the relaxation area and I must say we had a great time.
Last but not least, the staff...friendly and kind! Well done!
