Urban Healing in Bolzano

Words Vidula KotianDate 06 April 2022

Quality of life is at the heart of the provincial capital of South Tyrol, Bolzano—it has one of the highest in Italy. Parkhotel Mondschein takes this idea further, creating an urban getaway...

with a modern Arise Body and Mind studio, a variety of culinary delights, and a midcentury allure mixed with Belle Époque style that instantly soothes.

For those seeking some recalibration, the journey starts with the incredibly beautiful setting of Bolzano at the foot of the Dolomites, surrounded by hilly vineyards. It’s hard to deny the healing power of the pure mountain air here. Parkhotel Mondschein—set in a charming 14th century building with white shutters and lush green foliage climbing its façade—takes its design cue from the nature outside.

A palette of tranquil greens, grays, and browns underline the carefully chosen high quality furniture and gives the hotel the feel of a timeless sanctuary—it’s a winning formula that, along with lauded farm-to-table restaurants, the South Tyrol born-and-bred Dissetori brothers have perfected over their four properties, including 1477 Reichhalter, Villa Arnica, and Hotel Schwarzschmied, all located in Lana, South Tyrol.

At Mondschein, the in-house Arise studio offers holistic wellbeing through prana flow, tai chi, indoor and outdoor yoga, and retreats by a diverse community of teachers and healers from around the globe while Inner Gardens will guide you through rituals and events, such as yoga and cello, meditation, and tea ceremonies. To aid the regeneration of body and mind, Luna Bar will start you off right with a well curated breakfast that will appeal to both health- and food-afficionados with smoothies and fresh fruit yogurt bowls, to eggs benedict and brioche. So go on, let the experts at Parkhotel Mondschein help you find your path and get your chi flowing.
