Victoire's review

Victoire after a facial treatment at VILLA EDEN

I came to Villa Eden a few times, and it certainly is one of the most cocooning longevity clinics. Always a very warm welcome and a personal experience, which is quite unique in this space.

Villa Eden, in detail

01

The property

Merano is a spa town in South Tyrol, and getting there is the one genuinely awkward part of the trip. It is also why the town is still quiet.

Villa Eden has been working on longevity here since 1982, long before the word was used to sell anything. It holds 25 suites and it does not look like a clinic. Angelika Schmid has owned it since 1993 and watches over the stays herself, which is why guests notice details that larger houses delegate.

More on the property

The table is what surprises people. There is a sommelier and there is a bar, and guests still leave lighter than they arrived. Stays of a few days work here, which is unusual at this level.

It is the wrong address for someone who wants to be pushed hard, or who is treating a diagnosed condition. It is the right one for coming back two or three times a year.

What is the approach at Villa Eden?

Villa Eden is really focused on remise en forme and longevity, but can address a wide array of objectives, in particular with its ability to design tailor-made programs.

The team is led by Dr Emanuele De Nobili who is an expert in anti-aging and nutrition medicine. Another important physician is Dr Doriano Ottavian who is an expert reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon.

More on what is the approach at villa eden?

Villa Eden is a wellness clinic where you can get some of the world's most advanced treatments: for example, it was the first to introduce ozone therapies and IV drips in Italy.

The gastronomy at Villa Eden

The cuisine at Villa Eden is gastronomic, but with anti-inflammatory, detox and personalized menus when this is what you are looking for.

It's one of the rare places where you can work on your health, lose weight if that's what you want, learn how and what to eat for longevity, while having a glass of exceptional wine. It results from a great collaboration between the life-loving owners of Villa Eden, physicians and nutrition experts.

How is the experience at Villa Eden?

Villa Eden feels like a private villa, with world-class longevity expertise and facilities. It also feels very homely, thanks to the attention of the owner, Angelika Schmid.

There are 25 suites, all beautifully decorated, with stunning Italian design.

Questions we are asked

Atmosphere, prices, alternatives

What sets Villa Eden apart from other leading longevity clinics?

At Villa Eden, the owner Angelika Schmid has been running the clinic since 1993. It gives a unique long-term and female perspective into what a wellness clinic can be, and how the guest experience can be elevated. The result is a boutique clinic where medical excellence is always at the frontier, without sacrificing on pleasures of life. And this is very rare in this space.

How much does a stay at Villa Eden cost?

Villa Eden prices a stay in two parts: the room, and the programme or treatments you have on top. There is no single all inclusive rate. Rooms. The most recent rates they quoted us, for August 2026, were €550 a night for the Black & White Living and €600 for the Petite Park View, both in half board and in single occupancy, with a 3% service charge added on the accommodation. Larger suites rise from there, up to the 100 sqm Grand Suite. Half board covers breakfast and one meal a day from the kitchen of Michelin starred chef Marcello Corrado, and the pools, sauna, steam bath, infrared cabin, Fitness Lab, yoga, water gym and morning power walk are included with the room. Programmes. From €745 for The Villa Eden Moment, a short taster, to €6,950 for Signature Better Aging, their most complete longevity programme. The three day Antiaging Love Yourself is €990, Healthy Gut €1,800, Remise en Forme €2,950, Weight Care €3,900, Anti Cellulite €3,950, Sleep Restore €4,050 and Immunoplus €4,750. These are on top of the room. À la carte. You can also build your own stay from their 2026 menu. Diagnostics: a biointegrative medical consultation is €250, the ANS and heart rate variability analysis €225, the epigenetic test and the BioAge telomere test €500 each, the gut microbiome test €600, the nutrigenetic Geno Diet test €950, and a full laboratory panel starts at €700. Therapies: cryotherapy €90, systemic oxygen ozone therapy €200, an intravenous antioxidant infusion €380, photobiomodulation from €160 to €500 depending on the protocol. Treatments: massages and body work from €150 to €340, facials from €180, and yoga, Pilates or personal training at €150 for 55 minutes. Aesthetic medicine starts around €300 and runs to €2,500 for the more involved procedures. A realistic figure for the three night anti-ageing stay we most recently arranged was €2,690 all in. A week with one of the fuller medical programmes lands closer to €10,000 to €12,000. Tell us what you are after and we will come back with the exact number from the clinic, at the same price you would pay booking direct.

How advanced is the medical longevity approach of Villa Eden?

Villa Eden has always been at the forefront of preventive medicine, aesthetics, detox and - obviously - longevity, way before it was a trend. The medical diagnostics include epigenetic testing, bioimpedance analysis, heart rate variability (ANS) assessments, microbiome testing, oxidative stress profiling, and biological age evaluation to personalize care. The range of therapies is very wide, including IHHT (intermittent hypoxia-hyperoxia training) with Cellgym, cryotherapy, medical ozone therapies, IV micronutrient infusions, NanoVi sessions, biofeedback, targeted metabolic and detox treatments, and structured personal training.

Can I add treatments or diagnostics on top of my programme?

Yes, and most guests do. Villa Eden publishes a full à la carte menu each year and the doctors will suggest what fits once they have seen your first assessment. The diagnostics are where it is most worth it: the epigenetic test and the BioAge telomere test are €500 each, the gut microbiome test €600, the nutrigenetic Geno Diet test €950, and the autonomic nervous system analysis €225. On the therapy side, an intravenous antioxidant infusion is €380, systemic oxygen ozone therapy €200, cryotherapy €90 a session and NanoVi style photobiomodulation between €160 and €500. Add a massage or a facial and you are between €150 and €340. Aesthetic medicine, which is a real speciality here with two plastic and aesthetic surgeons on the team, starts around €300 and goes to €2,500. If you would rather know the total before you travel, tell us what appeals and we will have it priced in advance, usually within a day.
