A seaweed and plant body treatment at Villa Eden in Merano

The Eden Blueprint is Villa Eden's signature longevity programme. It runs from 3 to 7 days, and the clinic suggests 7, 10 or 14 days for a deeper stay, though shorter ones already give results.

It starts with the same check-up as The Eden Discovery: a medical consultation, an epigenetic test, a body composition analysis, a detailed ECG and a 3D skin analysis with VisioFace 1000D. The difference is what follows. You have 2 hours of individual treatments per day, chosen after the medical consultation, plus a body treatment of 110 minutes and two seaweed and plant treatments.

Nutrition goes further too, with a nutrition consultation, a chronodiet from the Healthy Wellness Cuisine and herbal supplements chosen with the doctor. A functional age assessment with the head personal trainer, a personal training session, yoga and mobility classes fill the rest of the days.

The final consultation sets a maintenance programme for home. If this is your first stay at Villa Eden, The Eden Discovery may be the better start, and we can help you choose.

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.

03

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 start at €400/night for the Black & White Living and €500/night for the Petite Park View. Rates change with the season, and the larger suites rise from there, up to the 100 sqm Grand Suite. A 3% service charge on the room rate may be added at check-out. Half board covers breakfast and one meal per day from the kitchen of Michelin-starred chef Marcello Corrado. The pools, sauna, steam bath, infrared cabin, Fitness Lab, yoga, water gym and morning power walk are included with the room. Programmes range from The Villa Eden Moment, a short taster, to Signature Better Aging, the most complete longevity programme. Here are three of them, with the Black & White Living for 7 nights: Weight Care: From €6,700 for 7 nights Anti Cellulite: From €6,750 for 7 nights Rebalance and Stress Control: From €6,450 for 7 nights You can also build your own stay from the à la carte menu: diagnostics, IV and ozone therapies, cryotherapy, massages, facials, personal training and aesthetic medicine. 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.

What are the alternatives to Villa Eden?

Villa Eden is located in Merano, where another famous longevity clinic operates: Palace Merano. Both share a deep expertise in detox and longevity, but Villa Eden experience is less restrictive, more focused on enjoying life, without compromising on the results. Beyond Italy, other medical wellness destinations where you can enjoy top-of-range medical wellness cures without restrictive protocols include: - ZEM Wellness Clinic in Spain, with its focus on Mediterranean lifestyle (but you can't have a glass of wine at ZEM) - Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in Switzerland, with several Michelin-starred restaurants in the resort, a unique feature for a wellness clinic - Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay in Morocco, a great destination for an anti-ageing cure while enjoying life - Euphoria Retreat in Greece, with the latest integration of medical longevity services - Zulal Wellness Resort in Qatar, in particular for the Zulal Serenity part (adults-only)

What are the nearest airports to go to Villa Eden?

The nearest airport is Bolzano. Other convenient airports include Verona, Venice and Innsbruck.

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 personalise care. The range of therapies is very wide. It includes IHHT (intermittent hypoxia-hyperoxia training) with Cellgym, cryotherapy, medical ozone therapies, IV micronutrient infusions and NanoVi sessions. Biofeedback, targeted metabolic and detox treatments, and structured personal training complete it.

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

Yes, and most guests do. Villa Eden publishes an à la carte menu each year, and the doctors suggest what fits once they have seen your first assessment. The diagnostics are where it is most worth it. They include the epigenetic test, the BioAge telomere test, the gut microbiome test, the Geno Diet nutrigenetic test and the nervous system analysis. On the therapy side, there are IV infusions, oxygen-ozone therapy, cryotherapy and NanoVi. Massages and facials are there too. Aesthetic medicine is a real speciality here, with two plastic and aesthetic surgeons on the team. 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.

How long should I stay at Villa Eden?

Most programmes run from 3 to 7 days, and you can arrive and leave on any day. A first stay of 3 or 4 days works well, with The Eden Discovery or the 4-day Personal Longevity Reset. For The Eden Blueprint, the clinic recommends 7, 10 or 14 days, and STEM-MITO starts at 7 days. Without a programme, the shortest stay is 3 nights. Tell us how much time you have, and we will suggest the right length.

Is Villa Eden as beautiful as the pictures?

Yes. Villa Eden is a very elegant place, and it feels like being invited into someone's very elegant home. There are 25 suites, and Angelika Schmid looks after the details herself. Tell us which suite you are considering, and we will describe it for you.

Why choose Villa Eden over Palace Merano?

Palace Merano is famous and excellent. It is also a larger property, with a more structured method. Villa Eden is more personalised, in an intimate setting of 25 suites that feels like a luxury boutique property. It is also one of the rare medical wellness places where you can enjoy a glass of wine during your stay. If you are hesitating between the two, we can compare them for your case.

Can I pay for my stay at Villa Eden in stablecoin?

Yes. Ask for your quote in USDT (TRC20) or USDC, the same way you would ask for it in euros or dollars. We settle your stay with Villa Eden, and your booking at Villa Eden is in your name.
