The Frühmesserhaus Refugium zu Sanct Kassian (House of the Benefice Priest, dating back to 1854) is an exclusive residence offering a temporary “other home” for discerning travelers. Located in Lagundo, just minutes from Merano, the historic building blends the rigor of a rural residence with minimalist, modern elegance. Its mighty walls are imbued with the monastic spirit of the place, providing a refuge of peace and serenity. The location, nestled among vineyards and orchards, offers breathtaking views of the Adige Valley, Tirol Castle, and the surrounding mountains.
The property offers only three spacious Premium apartments (approx. 110-130 m²) each distinct in style and atmosphere. Each apartment features two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a bathroom, and a separate WC. Designs range from the “Piano I” with postmodern lines and a Bulthaup kitchen, to the rustic Alpine “Piano II” with a traditional pine wood Stube, up to the urban and bright design of “Piano III”. All guarantee high aesthetic standards, a panoramic view, and are ideal for long stays or "Workation".
The heart of the Refugium is its expansive and meticulously cared-for 1,200 m² Mediterranean garden, an oasis of tranquility. The garden hosts a beautiful outdoor pool, designed as a natural biotope that uses no chemical additives, perfect for a refreshing dip with views of the surrounding nature. The “Piazza” and the large sun terrace, surrounded by tall cypresses and apple trees, invite relaxation and contemplation. A convenient fresh bread service is available upon request in the morning.
Consistent with the "refuge" concept, the property promotes well-being and regeneration. Guests can use a library and a historic wine cellar (dating back to the 12th century) that reflects the area’s past, ideal for tastings. The Refugium is an ideal location for Yoga retreats and Breathwork sessions. While it doesn’t have an in-house restaurant, the apartment kitchens are fully equipped, and a barbecue area in the garden is available, with Merano’s restaurants only a short distance away.
The Frühmesserhaus offers a range of practical amenities, including free private parking (covered and uncovered) and free Wi-Fi throughout the property. The location is an excellent starting point for hiking and cycling, with the famous Lagundo water path just 100 meters away. Guests receive the AltoAdige GuestPass Lagundo, offering free use of public transport and several cable cars. It is possible to rent E-Bikes and bring pets (dogs welcome).
