It's almost time and we're really looking forward to your visit!
Having breakfast in the morning sun, exploring the surrounding area during the day, putting your feet up on the private terrace in the late afternoon and rounding off the evening with a walk to one of the nearby restaurants... that sounds like a successful day on holiday, doesn´t it?
To arouse your anticipation and make planning your Libella experience easier, we have put together some helpful information for you.
Check-in & Check-out
Our suites are available from 3:00 p.m. Depending on the number of departures, it is also possible to...
morean earlier check-in on request. If your suite is not ready yet, you are welcome to park your car on our private parking place and go for a walk.The Tappeiner Promenade is just in front of our Garden.
On the day of departure, we ask you to dispose of the rubbish in the containers provided and to check-out until 10:00 a.m. If your apartment is not occupied immediately, we are happy to offer a late check-out on request. Since we have a small son, it would be a great help if you let us know the time of your departure one day in advance. Thank you!
closeArrival
There are two access roads to la Libella...
moreBy car, you can get to Merano or Tirolo via the Brenner Pass (motorway), Reschen Pass (country road), or Jaufen Pass (mountain road).
The route to la Libella is a little tricky the first time and, according to our guests, the sat navs in cars are very inaccurate. We recommend Google Maps.
If you are coming from Merano or the Passeier Valley and follow the signs for "Dorf Tirol/Tirolo" at the Tirolo junction, there are two access roads to la Libella:
- Directly on the slope that now leads to Tirolo, there is an inconspicuous road on the left with the signs for "Zenoberg". If you follow this variant for about 500m, turn right into the narrow spot at the next junction at the "Zenoburg". La Libella is signposted there. (The road that leads down takes you to the old town of Merano. Note: no entry after 200m). After around 200m you will come to another narrow spot between the restaurants "Knödelglück" and the "Felsenkeller". Drive into the dead-end street and private road. (Do not go up to the right).
- Another option leads directly down to the left in the first bend to Dorf Tirol, past the fire station. Once you reach the bottom (Knödelglück restaurant), turn right into the narrow spot into the dead-end street and private road.
In both options you stay at this height (do not go up to the right) and after a sharp right-hand bend drive through another narrow spot by the "Garni Hubertus" to the end of the road. There you will find la Libella with its spacious parking place on your left.
We wish you a safe journey and look forward to your visit!
closeOur Shop
In our shop you will find a library, drinks and other regional products...
moreAnd this is how it works: You are enjoying the sunset on your terrace and feel like rounding off this special moment with a glass of wine. You will access with the corresponding code, get the bottle of your choice, enter the number of items on the list in your suite and relax. You will be billed before you leave.
You will also find coffee, tea, cereal and jam. After planning your Libella-experience-day, we ask you to return the travel guides to the library. Thank you!
This service works on a trust basis and we trust you.

closeTo the Center
Basically, all paths lead down to the center of Merano. Behind the neighboring house "Villa Gang" you will find the entrance to the famous Tappeiner Promenade...
more- If you keep right on the Tappeiner Promenade, you will come to the “Saxifraga” restaurant. From there, steps lead behind the church and to the upper arcades (5-10 min.). Here you will also find a footpath to Dorf Tirol. Be careful: cobblestones are slippery.
- After the “Saxifraga” restaurant, follow the Tappeiner Promenade and you will come to a junction that leads in serpentines down to the Dorf Tirol chairlift and to the middle arcades. (25 mins).
- If you keep left on the Tappeiner Promenade, you will come to the powder tower and a kiosk (drinks and snacks). There you follow the path that leads to the houses, cross the street and reach the entrance to the Gilf Promenade. This takes you along the river (the “Passer”) to the center. In the opposite direction, you avoid the steep climb up the stairs and it is a very worthwhile walk back to la Libella (30 - 40 mins).
