Rent a holiday apartment in San Genesio

Renting a holiday apartment in San Genesio takes you to a South Tyrolean plateau above the Bolzano basin. San Genesio is described as a quiet, idyllic place to stay. Accommodation on site is particularly interesting if you would like to incorporate landscapes and local activities into your stay. For planned days in Bolzano or a trip without your own car, the location in relation to the bus connection is one of the important selection criteria.

Key facts on the topic

• San Genesio is a South Tyrolean municipality high above the Bolzano basin; the main village is located at around 1,100 metres.
• The Salten in the wider area around San Genesio combines larch meadows and gently rolling paths with views of the Dolomites.

Plateau, larch meadows and views of the Dolomites

The character of San Genesio is shaped by its location above Bolzano and the plateau, which clearly distinguishes a stay here from a purely city-based programme. In the wider area around San Genesio, the Salten combines larch meadows and gently rolling paths with views of the Dolomites. Those wishing to combine this landscape with their stay have a clear reason to choose accommodation in San Genesio.

San Genesio is therefore particularly suitable for travellers who want to combine plateau landscapes, larch meadows and tranquillity with the accessible proximity of Bolzano. Those primarily looking for urban culture right next to their accommodation are more likely to choose Bolzano.

San Genesio or Bolzano as a base?

San Genesio represents plateau and nature, while Bolzano is perceived as a lively urban area with culture, different languages and diverse architectural styles. The decision therefore depends on whether landscapes and local experiences are the main focus or whether you are looking for the urban cultural programme right at your accommodation.

When searching for accommodation, you can look for a holiday apartment, holiday home or hotel. The type of accommodation itself should suit your preferred way of travelling, without making any blanket promises about facilities or suitability.

Planning your arrival without your own car
