Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Avidea is built for couples who want to switch off above the rooftops of Merano. It is a five-star, adults-only hotel for guests aged 16 and over, with 29 suites on the slopes of Algund in South Tyrol, a rooftop sky pool, a garden pool and a spa with saunas and a Turkish bath. Stays are all-inclusive, and guests talk warmly about the food, the included drinks and the friendly staff and owners. The views over the town and the Texel Group mountains are the constant backdrop. The calm is deliberate, and that is the main trade-off. Guests hoping to socialise loudly by the pool found the mood hushed, and the refined, vegetable-led dinners won't satisfy anyone craving a burger. The hotel is about 3 km from Algund village, though a bus stops at the door and a hiking trail starts nearby. Couples seeking rest, good food and a view will feel at home; families with younger children cannot stay.
- From the balconies, the pools and the restaurant terrace the view stretches over Merano and the Texel Group mountains. Guests say the views alone are worth the stay, whatever the weather.
- The rooftop sky pool is the feature guests mention most, and in summer the outdoor pool and hot tub in the Alpine garden add a second place to swim. Some suites have their own whirlpool.
- Avidea is run as a calm retreat, and guests who expected to chat and socialise with friends around the pool or at dinner found the hushed atmosphere a surprise.
- Dinners lean towards refined, vegetable-led dishes. A few guests would have liked larger portions, more meat and fish, or simple options such as a sandwich or a burger.
