Residence Der Heinrichshof

From the Netherlands to Romance: Discover Italy’s Best-Kept Secret

Swap the Netherlands’ flat landscapes for a warm Alpine-Mediterranean valley in South Tyrol. With direct flights from Amsterdam to Verona or Innsbruck, you’re just a scenic drive away from Lagundo—the romantic hideaway near Merano.

Terraced vineyards blend with blooming apple orchards, and slender cypresses rise into deep blue skies. Wake to birdsong, sip crisp South Tyrolean wine on a rose-lined terrace, and watch the sunset ignite the mountains. Wander hand-in-hand along the historic Waalwege trails, enjoy alpine spa rituals, or simply unwind above Merano’s rooftops.

Still undiscovered by most Dutch travellers, Lagundo is Italy’s best-kept romantic secret—waiting for you between mountain peaks and Mediterranean gardens.

Glide through our 34 °C indoor pool, then float outdoors beneath snow-capped peaks. Detox in bio-sauna and aromatic steam, bask in whirlpool warmth, and surrender to Alpienne massages infused with arnica and mountain honey. South-Tyrolean serenity turns every breath into bliss, gifting lovers effortless renewal amid vineyards and apple blossoms here.

Pedal straight from Heinrichshof into a sun-kissed web of riverside cycle paths, vineyard lanes and Alpine trails. Free mountain bikes and e-bikes, GPS tours, secure garage and a post-ride wellness drink are all waiting. From leisurely orchard rides to summit singletracks, Algund lets couples share adventure at their own pace.

Wake to the aroma of freshly baked rye, mountain honey and espresso. Our Vital Breakfast presents orchard-picked apples, homemade jams, alpine yogurt, cold-smoked Speck, oven-warm croissants and eggs cooked à la minute. Evenings unfold into four Mediterranean-Tyrolean courses, salad bar and candlelight—flavourful proof that love truly travels through taste at Hotel Heinrichshof daily.

Your romantic vacation in the Italian Alps

Nestled where Italian sunshine meets Alpine freshness, Hotel Heinrichshof is your intimate hideaway above Merano. Awake to vineyard views, fuel up on orchard-fresh breakfasts, cycle scenic river paths, unwind in panoramic pools and savour candle-lit, Mediterranean-Tyrolean dinners. Whether you crave spa serenity or mountain adventure, Lagundo wraps each shared moment in effortless romance and quietly unforgettable South-Tyrolean charm.
