Castles are the stuff of legend and lore, steeped as they are in legend, lore, romance—and the brute grim facts of history, of stony life in the late Dark Ages.
A strategic, defensive fortress, the castle was the ultimate architectural symbol of authority in peacetime and in war. Built to withstand prolonged sieges, the earliest motte-and-bailey fortifications were ingeniously re-engineered over the centuries to fend off intruders in imaginative and wicked, wicked ways: a drawbridge across a dank, vaporous moat; a curtain wall with arrow-slit apertures; a spiked portcullis gate; uneven trip stairs spiraling up clockwise to pin right-handed swordsmen against the wall …
As if that were not enough, the aptly named murder hole let defenders rain down unpleasantness in the form of boiling oil, arrows, and bolts from crossbows. We could go on. We won’t.
Centuries on, the clash of arms echoes only in stone, but castles endure, figuratively and literally, as symbols of beauty, substance, and stature.
Herewith, Luxury Defined extends its fond welcome to some castles of old and new, converted into luxuriously modern homes. Worry ye not, for safe entry and hospitality await within these ancient (and not-so-ancient) crenelated walls. Thoroughly modern interiors optimized for utmost comfort and luxury. Murder holes optional.
In addition to the parades, the Grape Festival is the perfect opportunity to savor local culinary specialties. Numerous stalls offer typical South Tyrolean dishes such as dumplings, speck, cheese, and sweet treats. A must-try for visitors is the “new wine,” freshly produced from local wineries and available only during this season. The festive atmosphere is further enhanced by live music, folk dance performances, and traditional shows, making the Grape Festival an unmissable event for those looking to experience the unique hospitality and cultural traditions of South Tyrol.

Historical aspects of the villa. This villa, built in the 19th century, was modelled on the historic villas of the Renaissance. The loggia-like arches of the piano nobile, the mezzanine floor and the cantilevered cornice below the flat hipped roof bear witness to this.
This historical property is located in the exclusive Obermais district, which is known for its stately villas and manicured parks. The location offers a quiet yet central living environment.

The connection to the public transport network is also excellent, meaning that the city center of Merano can be reached in just a few minutes.
The British have a term of art for the big rural house with aspirations to meet, even to exceed the grandeur and high style of its era. Thus, it was dubbed the “country pile” (with, perhaps, an aristocratic twist of the monocle).
It was English noblemen and courtiers who invented the Prodigy House, a huge residence built almost solely to impress—and escape in the dreamlike solitude of wood and dale.
Time itself has subdued the airs and graces of the country pile. The centuries weathered the piled stone and matured the landscaping that softens its edges. Artisanal craftsmanship and architectural details remain, preserved and enhanced, while infrastructure, “mod cons” and creature comforts are updated to contemporary standards.
And that country pile almost always comes with lots and lots of land—an enduring asset.
Castles in the air, perhaps? Here’s the chance to live in one.
