Villa Eden: medical wellness in the Italian Alps

Created in 1982, this is Italy’s first “destination spa”. Nestled in a valley in the picturesque Merano region of the Italian Alps, Villa Eden offers superb mountain views. This hotel is recommended for those looking for a wellness break with a medical approach, yet in a warm, intimate setting, far removed from an aseptic clinic.

Italy’s first spa destination

It’s a relatively confidential address, yet some of the world’s greats have stayed here: Barbra Streisand, Eros Ramazzotti… The place is renowned for the quality of its treatments and its holistic approach to well-being. Open since 1982, it has had time to prove itself.

Villa Eden is close to the Austrian border and nestled in the Merano region, which seems obsessed with wellness (just look at the number of establishments offering treatments!). The heart of Merano, with its designer boutiques and typical restaurants, is just a stone’s throw away.

There are just 29 rooms and suites at Villa Eden, and the well-kept gardens are elegant. You’ll feel almost at home in the intimate atmosphere, a world away from some of the larger wellness centers. Read our article “We tested it for you” to understand the spirit of the place.

A real medical team at your disposal

Villa Eden is not just another hotel, it’s a medical wellness clinic first and foremost. Most specialized programs are customized for each client to ensure that individual wellness goals are met. The “Longevity” medical center offers a range of programs to restore the balance between body and mind. The programs include medical consultations with examinations and diagnoses.
