Scena… the perfect destination
In the heart of the Merano area
Scena is always worth a visit and a stroll through the village centre is a highly pleasurable experience. As we’re only a stone’s throw away, you can be there in a matter of minutes. Just take the path that starts just 100m from the Blumenhotel and you’ll be there in a flash.
Then, the choice is yours… you can visit the church hill and the Maria Assunta Parish Church. The old church backs directly onto the new one and is the home to some interesting pre-Christian excavations that were discovered during renovation works a few years ago. These finds prove that Scena has always been a heavily spiritual and religious place. The mausoleum, the final resting place of Archduke Johann of Austria and his family, and Scena castle are also well worth a visit. If retail therapy is your bag, a shopping trip could be a fitting end to the day.
The other villages in the Merano area, such as Tirolo and Lana, also have a lot to offer. The jewel in the crown, however, with its piazzas, promenades and pergolas, has to be the beautiful spa town of Merano itself. Shopping, fun, art, culture… you name it, Merano has it! A historical mystery tour, a visit to an exhibition, an aperitif on Piazza Terme and a little dolce vita all’italiana guarantee the perfect atmosphere and counterbalance an active day in the mountains perfectly.
Our Tip: Trauttmansdorff Castle is the prime day out for all those who love the beauty of nature and exquisite flowers. A trip to Trauttmansdorff and a stay at the Blumenhotel go hand in hand!
