Many room types open onto a balcony or terrace with garden or mountain view, while the larger solutions, such as the Deluxe Double Rooms and the Family Suite, add a sofa bed to accommodate up to three or four people.

Hotel Garni Katnau is located in Scena, a small hillside municipality that overlooks the Merano valley from around 600 metres of altitude, amid the vineyards and apple orchards typical of South Tyrol. The area is residential and quiet, yet a short walk from the property you’ll already find a bar, Weinmesser’s Vinothek, and two restaurants, Mair Stub’m and Restaurant Cafe Monika, both less than 100 metres away.
For those travelling without a car, Merano Railway Station is about 3.4 km away, while Bolzano Airport is 26 km away. Heading down towards the centre of Merano, within a few minutes you reach Touriseum, the tourism museum housed in Trauttmansdorff Castle, and the adjoining Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, both about 3 km away. The historic centre, with the Princely Castle and the Women’s Museum, is less than 3 km away, as is Parco Maia along the Passirio river.
The hillside location makes Scena an ideal base for cycling and hiking: numerous trails connect the area to the Texelgruppe Nature Park (Naturpark Texelgruppe) and the Val Passiria, a classic destination for half-day trips. In summer, you can alternate between the pool and garden and walks among the vineyards, while in winter the proximity to Merano makes it possible to quickly reach shops, thermal baths and city life, while still staying away from traffic.
Guests especially praise the staff, rated almost at the maximum, and the location, particularly appreciated by couples. Cleanliness and comfort are also very high, while services and value for money remain solid nonetheless.
