An Oasis of peace, Well-being and Longevity in Merano
An Oasis of peace, Well-being and Longevity in Merano
VILLA EDEN is a paradisiacal retreat immersed in tranquillity, promising relaxation in five-star comfort. Found in Italy´s pretty Alpine town of Merano, the pursuit of healthy indulgence and total wellness is the aim here, from the elegant setting of a 29-suite private villa. Achieving balance between the mind, body and spirit begins with soaking up the intimate, luxurious atmosphere before the team of wellness experts, medical professionals, nutritionists, and fitness gurus assess your journey to a healthier, happier and more balanced life.
The history of Villa Eden began in 1982, when Angelika´s father, Karl Schmid, had the vision of transforming an elegante private villa in the wonderful setting of Merano into the first italian “Beauty Farm”. The subsequent participation of Henri Chenot in the project confirmed of the success of the innovative concept.
Ten years after its acquisition, in 1993, the management passed on to Angelika, who has been guiding the structure with immense passion ever since. In the quiet of a large park above Merano, this is a place dedicated above all to well-being and fitness, to what Angelika defines as “health promotion” with the idea of creating a place “where we ourselves would like to stay”.
