My wife and I try to visit Pergola once a year and indulge in the breathtaking architecture and interior design (by star architect Matteo Thun), the impeccable view from our apartment, the unbeatable privacy this place airs, the warm-hearted hospitality of owner Mrs. Innerhofer and every single person in this place, and one of the best, freshest organic breakfast buffets on this planet. One day at Pergola feels like three holidays. The area of Algund offers a beautiful mixture of pre-alp landscape, austrian/italian culture, amazing wines and food (try Leiter am Waal, steps away from Pergola).
The apartments aren't plush - every single piece of furniture or interior has been designed especially for this place and that shows (and feels). The apartments are spacy and all offer breathtaking views of the Etsch valley from a 60 sqm terrace, and the 2 villas on top feature fireplace, 180° views and even more special interior.
If you're looking for a place where you feel both left alone and welcome, if you crave nature instead of nightlife, if you appreciate original, local food and wine, I can highly recommend this place.
Things you may or may not like: No restaurant (except before-mentioned breakfast), no minibar, no fitness center. The Meran area is a paradise for german senior citizens - not many young, cool people or children - no nightlife unless you accept a 15-20 min drive to close-by Meran, local food is austrian/italian - great, but as a veggie you may find the selection limited.

Beautiful, modern, cool, comfortable residence in Italy. We had great views, a kitchenette, lovely breakfasts and wonderful walks just above the hotel. The design of the room was beautiful wood, very crisp and modern, and our porch was lovely. Highly recommended. On our way home, flew over the Alps, and could see that out hotel was in the foothills just abutting the mountains.

In Merano, also enjoyed the baths designed by the same architect.
