Milla Montis: Hotel in Meransen

Milla Montis is inspired by the idyllic scenery around Meransen and the impressive peaks of the Dolomites.

A new interpretation of tradition

The Milla Montis hotel is located in the small village of Maranza, at an altitude of 1415 meters above sea level, in the northern Italian region of the South Tyrol.

Opened in October 2020, Milla Montis is a family hotel designed by Franziska and Roland Oberhofer. The foundations of Milla Montis were laid by Roland’s parents, Margareth and Benno, by rebuilding the old Meransen mill into a guesthouse called Pension Untermüllerhof. inspired by the vernacular architecture of the region and the classic wooden barn, Milla Montis was designed in collaboration with architect Peter Pichler. The hotel features modern, futuristic-style architecture that blends in perfectly with the surroundings and the canvas of mountain peaks. The structure consists of four connected volumes, slightly shifted sloped roofs, and a curvilinear facade. Locally-grown, selected materials like wood and stone have been used to create an ambiance of well-being.

The hotel has 25 rooms divided into four categories. All rooms have large windows opening onto a terrace or balcony, offering an impressive panoramic view of the Dolomites, framing them like a work of art. The decor is minimalist, with lots of wood to create a cozy effect, and a subtle color palette with touches of green and black. The rooms are furnished with large beds swathed in charcoal grey throw, high-end white sheets, comfortable armchairs, and some have a lounge area with deep sofas or a private sauna and a large freestanding bathtub.

The hotel has a restaurant with homemade menu focusses on high-quality products of the region, cook by Roland himself. The wellness area includes a Finnish sauna, a hammam, a treatment room, a relaxation and meditation room, and an outdoor heated infinity pool.

Combining modern and stylish design with traditional hospitality, Milla Montis offers a warm and familiar retreat, far from mainstream standards.
