A Slow Stay
MyArbor is a treehouse hotel set among the apple orchards of the Puster Valley, designed to sit in the landscape rather than on it. The structures are elevated on timber stilts, each one touching the ground as lightly as possible, surrounded by fruit trees on three sides and the Dolomites on the fourth.
At 1,050 metres, the air is clean and the light is Alpine. This is the kind of hotel that changes what you want from a stay — the programme is simple: sleep well, eat well, go outside. That turns out to be enough.
Designed by Bolzano-based studio noa* (network of architecture), MyArbor was built around a single principle: minimal contact with the ground. The structures sit on timber stilts above the orchard floor, connected by elevated walkways so that guests rarely need to descend. The interiors are built almost entirely from local larch — raw, warm, and entirely honest about what they are. Nothing decorative was introduced that the material itself didn’t already suggest.
Thirty-eight rooms and suites across the elevated structure, from standard rooms to full garden suites with private terraces overlooking the orchard. The interiors are spare and warm: larch walls, natural textiles, large windows positioned so that the trees fill the frame. Waking up here with the orchard below and the Dolomites above is an experience that renders most other hotel rooms temporarily inadequate.
An indoor-outdoor wellness area with a pool that extends from the main building out towards the orchard. Saunas, steam rooms and treatment rooms built in the same local larch throughout. The programme draws on the materials of the surrounding landscape — alpine herbs, mountain botanicals, valley spring water. Unhurried and unsupervised, exactly as it should be.
A kitchen that takes South Tyrolean seriously: local producers, valley ingredients, cooking that is precise without being theatrical. Breakfast makes full use of the orchard — pressed juices, jams from the estate fruit, breads baked each morning. Dinner is small-menu, well-sourced and unhurried. The view from the dining room, across the apple trees to the peaks, makes most meals feel like an event.
Perca sits in the Puster Valley with the Dolomites on the southern horizon and the Austrian border twenty minutes north. Bressanone — the medieval town with the best restaurants in South Tyrol — is fifteen minutes by car. The Kronplatz ski area is on the doorstep in winter; the Dolomites road cycling circuit passes the valley in summer. Cortina d’Ampezzo is an hour east for those who want more mountain.
