Hotel Nals near Meran - Hotel zum Rosenbaum

Past and Present

Hotel Zum Rosenbaum is in the village of Nalles, which lies amidst the lovely countryside of the Adige Valley, not far from Merano. Surrounded by picturesque vineyards, rose gardens and cypress trees, with the magnificent rose tree from which the hotel takes its name blooming in the garden, this former noble resicdence (built 1640) was even chosen as the setting for a film in the 1950's. For generations the house has belonged to the Pristinger family, which, in 2007, lovingly restored and extended it, taking great care to ensure that the modern additions blend with and complement the ancient walls. The result is a house of unique character, where vaulted ceilings and Tyrolean bay windows rub shoulders with the clean lines of modern design, and whose warm and friendly atmosphere makes you instantely feel at home. Our guests can enjoy comfortably furnished rooms in various different styles, a range of gourmet delights from both South Tyrolean and Italian cuisine, a large mediterranean-style terrace which catches the sun from the first rays of spring right through to the mild evenings of late summer, a sparkling swimming pool and relaxing sun-lawn, as well as refreshment from the Luis Trenker Lounge (named after the famous South Tyrolean film-maker). Two generations of the Pristinger family are waiting to welcome you and take care of your every need. With such warm hospitality, you will really feel you have come to stay with friends.
