1. Fulfil your real estate dream in Merano together with Engel & Völkers South Tyrol

Among all the wonderful real estate locations in South Tyrol, Merano stands out due to its unique climatic and cultural characteristics. The city in the Adige Valley, home to around 41,000 inhabitants, is equally known for its function as a spa and recreation resort, its cultural-historical significance and its excellent quality of life, which makes it attractive to property buyers from all over Europe.

You will also gain an overview of the current market situation for residential and holiday properties in the region.

2. A small Mediterranean paradise in the South Tyrolean Alps: That's why buying in Merano is a good idea

Due to its advantageous topographical features, Merano is characterised by a particularly mild climate typical of the Mediterranean: Mild air enters the region through the Adige Valley, which is open to the south, and the climatic shield provided by the mountains of the Gruppo del Tessa, as well as the Sarentino Alps to the north, making Merano a predestined environment for property acquisition. Besides palm trees and cypresses as part of the natural environment, viticulture also plays an important role. Embedded in the impressive alpine massifs, this results in an extraordinary and unique landscape that invites you to variety and recreation at the highest level in summer as well as in winter. Whether it's a leisurely hike, an extended bike tour or a challenging climbing route - anyone who decides to buy a property in Merano can make the most of their leisure time in nature. A special highlight is the Tappeiner promenade, a hiking trail that runs high above the roofs of Merano and offers a breathtaking view of the city and the surrounding countryside.

The spa town of Merano is also internationally renowned for its beneficial thermal baths, which are fed with particularly mineral-rich water from a depth of 2,300 metres. In the associated wellness and sauna area, owners of a Merano property can relax and enjoy pleasant hours alone or with the family. True to its historical and cultural tradition, Merano also offers a wide range of social entertainment: In the magnificent halls of the Merano Kurhaus, a wide variety of concerts, as well as theatre and opera performances, regularly take place, inviting you to spend entertaining evenings. The Trauttmansdorff Castle and its garden terraces are also worth a visit. The former spa resort of the Austrian Empress Elisabeth ("Sissi"), as well as the adjoining spa promenade, are popular excursion destinations that offer fascinating insights into the history of Merano and its rich flora and fauna.

Purchasing a property in Merano and the surrounding area is also interesting from a culinary point of view: The traditional cuisine still reflects the history of the city, which has repeatedly been under strong Austrian and Italian influences in the past. Among the best-known specialities are the famous Merano bacon, some spicy Merano cheeses and breads, and fresh trout from the River Passiria. Various restaurants with a tasteful ambience and first-class service know how to prepare these and other specialities excellently.

Versatile and worth living in, and unique in every respect: this is what distinguishes Merano as the location for your new property in South Tyrol. Engel & Völkers will tell you in the following section which specific locations you can choose from.
