As a family of five, it's often hard to find a suitable holiday accommodation that not only advertises but also delivers on the promise of pleasant experience suitable for larger families. After experiencing a fair share of Airbnb accommodations, which is always a smart alternative, we realized we’ve come to a point in our lives where a more complete package focused on relaxation and recovery is more important than a self-catered option. For the second time in as many years, we visited the 'Panoramahotel Am Sonnenhang' in Dorf Tirol, a picturesque village situated in the hills above the historical spa town of Meran.

The hotel’s restaurant is spacious and offers options to cater for broad range of dining needs from regular functions to private areas, buffet and a bar. The pleasant, attentive and dedicated waiters and kitchen staff contribute to a wonderful dining experience that is matched only by the meals on offer that without exaggeration give the term "gourmet" a whole new meaning.
