We had a very pleasant experience, and would definitely return. The 3 star Hotel Palma is a smaller part of the mid-size, 4 star Hotel Bavaria, and Palma shares many of its amenities (including reception, restaurant, the nice, park-like setting, and the fantastic outdoor and indoor pools). Both Palma and Bavaria are historic buildings, but both have aged very gracefully. The Palma rooms (I believe the Palma has only 8 or so rooms) have newer, modern furniture, were extremely well maintained, and *super-sparkling* clean. Staff was professional yet warm and welcoming.
Overall, a property with real old-world style and character! We loved it.
The hotel is within 5 minutes walking distance to Meran's beautiful historic city center.
