About the property

Rafter Merano Algund is an exclusive retreat for two, set within a sculptural building that opens towards the valley while blending seamlessly into the vineyard landscape. Its simple façade in textured spatial mortar allows it to almost disappear into its surroundings. Inside, Hannes Peer has created a poetic, multi-layered and intimately refined space. High-end furnishings and carefully selected vintage pieces define the atmosphere, alongside local walnut wood and roughly cut gneiss, which add a strong tactile character throughout.
