Mirror Houses

The feeling you get of the place differs greatly depending on whether you look at it from the owner’s house or when entering from the east side as a guest. The side facing the owner’s house is all mirrors, so that it looks like the garden is much bigger.

The houses are separated by a green garden wall and are slightly elevated to provide a better view. The front of the houses is a glass façade that can be opened up completely so that the terrace and living room become one open space. The whole house is basically an open space with a bedroom, which has sliding doors that can be pushed into the walls. There’s also a bathroom, and living room with a full kitchen that opens up to the balcony. The living room couch can be made into a bed if you have children.

A lot of thought went into the sheets, beds, and décor. There are windows directly above the bed so you almost feel as if you’re sleeping outside, as one with nature. It’s very quiet, even though the location is close to the highway and industrial zone. Everyone is amazed at how much you feel immersed into nature.

You can use the sun beds in the garden for relaxing as well as a storage area downstairs to store skis in the winter or bicycles in the summer.

It’s a self-catering holiday rental where people cook for themselves. We provide cleaning after the stay, and can provide suggestions of where to go and offer transportation or organize trips. We are currently working on a South Tyrol area guide for our guests as well.

Bolzano’s center is just a bit bigger than all the other cities around. There are plenty of nice restaurants, stores, museums and other things to visit. At Mirror Houses you are close to everything.

There are also several ski resorts close by, which are only between 30 mins to one hour away, such as Obereggen, Passo di Costalunga/Karerpass, as well as Boscoriva/Reinswald. If you want to visit any other cities besides Bolzano, Merano, Trento and Cortina d’Ampezzo are close by.

For those of our holiday guests who want to stay active during their stay, there are lots of options such as hiking, climbing, cycling and going for a swim in the lakes. We are currently working on connecting with a yoga teacher so that we can organize private sessions.

We can also recommend visiting some of the regional wineries.

In the summer or spring, I recommend going to the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, which is one of the biggest botanical gardens anywhere. Generally, what I like doing most here is eating and drinking and walking around in the beauty of nature. You can find all that close by. There are plenty of options on what to do while staying at Mirror Houses.
