Schloss Plars wine & suites is located in Plars di Mezzo, in the hilly hamlet of Lagundo, surrounded by vineyards belonging to the same property as the castle. The area retains a rural, scenic character, with the Texelgruppe Nature Park opening up right behind the property and various trails allowing you to walk or cycle among the rows of vines without straying too far from the hotel.
A bus stop is just 50 metres from the entrance, convenient for reaching Merano in about 10 minutes by car or public transport. Algund-Lagundo railway station is 2 km away, while Bolzano Airport is about 29 km away. For dining, the Leiter am Waal restaurant is just 100 metres away, and the Untergandlkeller less than a kilometre away.
Those staying here can spend their days walking in the Texelgruppe Nature Park or head down to Merano to visit the Trauttmansdorff Castle Gardens, about 6 km away, the Princely Castle and the historic centre with the Sissi Gardens. In summer, the property’s outdoor pool remains the evening gathering spot, often accompanied by wine and speck tastings; in the cooler months, walks among the vineyards and visits to Merano’s museums, such as the Touriseum at Trauttmansdorff Castle, take over.
Guests particularly praise the staff (9.6) and the location (9.4), especially appreciated by couples. Comfort and cleanliness also score very highly. Value for money, while still good at 8.5, is the slightly more modest score among the ratings.
