RESIDENCE RÖSCH:
HISTORY MEETS EXCLUSIVITY
Host/That’s me
Behind every well-run holiday home stands a dedicated host. I am Thomas Rösch, the great-great-grandson of Josef Peter Rösch, the founder of the eponymous business. My team (Mihaela and Loredana) and I give our very best every day to make your stay with us as pleasant as possible. Your #holiday happiness is close to our hearts. As a trained hotel manager and qualified tourism and event manager, I place great emphasis on #quality in all products and services. A warm, respectful interaction and mutual #appreciation are also particularly important to me. Only by working together can we grow and improve!
In our small, family-like team, I am the problem solver and listener. My right hand, #Mihaela, and her sister #Loredana (both originally from Romania and have lived with their family in Meran for 15 years) assist me diligently. Together, we create a HOME AWAY FROM HOME for you.
Holiday Feeling & Philosophy
Residence Rösch is located in a very special arcade house right in the heart of Meran's old town. Just as special as the location – between the #Arcades of Meran and the Freiheitsstraße street, as central as it gets – is our philosophy: We want our holiday apartments with #loft character to be a "home away from home" for you. A place of #relaxation, in every aspect. For this, we give at least 100% every day!

Sustainability
Sustainability is not just a passing trend for us, but a matter of the heart. We pay attention not only to the selection of our products – we only buy from producers we know personally and avoid industrial products as much as possible – but also to producing as little waste as possible. For this reason, you can order additional #breakfast extras, such as egg dishes, directly at the table during breakfast, and we prepare them fresh for you. Additionally, all the laundry at Residence Rösch is washed with #Ecolab Healthcare, meaning it is virtually chemical-free. And all for the sake of our #environment!
TIMELINE HISTORY FROM 1317 - 2024
In 1317, Meran was granted city rights. As one of the most important stops on the route over the Alps, Meran was of great significance for trade in the Middle Ages. At times, it was even the capital of Tyrol and a minting site.
In 1854, the arcaded house was first documented as being owned by the Rösch family, and the business was founded. Since then, much has changed, but not the exceptional façade and some architectural elements.
In 1919, South Tyrol became part of Italy following World War I. This fundamentally influenced business life: the goods, customers, and responsible authorities changed significantly, and the Rösch family adapted along with them. Numerous family anecdotes bear witness to this.
In 2017, the current Residence Rösch was established. Initially, it consisted of only two apartments: Sandplatz and Kornplatz.
In 2018, the so-called Middle House was renovated. This resulted in the creation of six apartments (Steinach, Pfarr, Theater, Brunnen, and Thermenplatz), the penthouse, the breakfast room, and the breakfast terrace.
In 2019, we operated fully for the first time. The positive feedback following the renovation, both from guests and locals, showed us that we were on the right track.
In 2020, the bathroom of the Sandplatz apartment was renovated, and the house's garage was refurbished.
In 2021, Residence Rösch came to a standstill due to Covid-19.
In 2022, the arcaded house, the Mazziniplatz apartment, the Lauben apartment, and an elevator in the listed building were renovated. The latter was a very complex task.
In 2023, the Brunnenplatz and Thermenplatz apartments received two new south-facing balconies.
From August 2024, a photovoltaic system will help us generate energy. Additionally, a small sauna is planned for the winter, which guests can use to warm up after a day in the mountains.
