"The South Tyrol spa town of Merano has been a luxury travel destination for longer than the phrase “luxury travel destination” has existed; even against this backdrop, the aptly named Villa Eden stands out for its extraordinarily restorative atmosphere. Its setting, in an ornate Art Nouveau villa, feels like something out of a fairy tale, and its spa is no mere massage operation, but an intensively health-focused medical establishment specializing not just in relaxation but in longevity as well." - Tablet Hotels
