We live in a village 10 minutes out of Merano, the beautiful Spa town of the Austrian emperors from times gone by.
The village is surrounded by peaks of 3000m, but it is not remote; good streets, buses and reliable trains connect us to the world.
South Tyrol is renowned for its beauty, the good food, the excellent wines, the apples. Our 2-storey apartment is very spacious, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room with a grand piano, a large dining area with an open kitchen, and a very large balcony with BBQ. There is a Garage under the House.
We have an ancient cat called Sushi, who sleeps practically 24 hours a day. She likes a little caressing now and then, but otherwise prefers to nap. She is almost 20 years old, friendly, almost deaf and very relaxed. She needs food and someone who cleans her litter tray once a day.
We will be gone for 2 weeks, and we like the thought of somebody staying at our place, for the sake of our cat, but also because it feels less abandoned. It is such a beautiful place in spring; the apple blossom will be around that time, and is spectacular. Three ski areas can be reached within 40 minutes, but spring is already in the valleys, and the mountain trails are inviting for hikers and bikers.
