The Longevity Institute: a sanctuary of well-being

An exclusive "island" of peace and absolute relaxation

The history of VILLA EDEN began in 1982, when Angelika's father, Karl Schmid, had the vision of transforming an elegant private villa in the wonderful setting of Merano into Italy’s first “Beauty Farm”. The subsequent participation of Henri Chenot in the project confirmed the success of this innovative concept.

 

Since 1993, Angelika has continued to develop VILLA EDEN, transforming it into one of the most exclusive luxury hotels in the world.

Today, VILLA EDEN is an exclusive Longevity Institute, combining the extraordinary charm of a Leading Hotels of the World property with the privacy of just 25 suites, innovative culinary artistry, outstanding wellness and beauty treatments, a prestigious in-house cosmetic line, and a dedicated medical team always available to support each Guest’s individual journey.

 

Who has never wished to leave everyday life behind and take some time entirely for themselves? This is the cornerstone of our philosophy: helping You rediscover harmony, energy and well-being.

During Your stay, we aim to initiate a virtuous process that helps Your body become the perfect “temple” of the spirit, through a balance that embraces both mind and body. Since its origins, VILLA EDEN has placed each Guest and their individual needs at the heart of its philosophy, offering state-of-the-art services and the latest treatments.

Today, just as in the beginning, the desire to evolve and offer more remains at the core of our mission. Through scientific research, we look to the future with renewed optimism, pursuing results whose greatest value ultimately belongs to You.

 

Finally, Angelika Schmid, the owner, personally ensures that Your stay is unforgettable, defined by individual attention and uncompromising quality. Her smile, like that of every member of the team, is the perfect expression of VILLA EDEN’s genuine vocation for hospitality.
