Loved our 5 day stay at panorama! As the name implies, this place is all about the view. Really impressive especially if a thunder storm rolls in. Food was good, and they have a deal where if you're a hotel guest your can stay for a 4 course dinner for only 15 euro a person on the amazing balcony. The other highlight of this hotel is the single chairlift! What a treat. Very convenient and reliable for a stroll in downtown Merano. More convenient than the bus for sure. Wish the hours went later but it's really hard to fault them as it's probably expensive to operate. Use is included in your hotel stay. Lastly because the same family owns the hotel next door, the facilities are shared for guests, including the endless pool!

We happened to stay during a heat wave. This obviously is not the norm, but there was no air conditioning or fans which made for some difficult sleeping. During the day this was certainly combatted very nicely by the poolside! For any English language only folks- this is primarily an Austrian holiday town. In five days we didn't hear any English language spoken unless we requested. That said most people can speak English but not out of preference. Not all museums have English, though the larger ones do. Everyone was very nice and accommodating though.
