Mals / Malles Venosta, Italy

Maraias — Luxury Suites & Apartments

A 4-star aparthotel at 1,211 m in Burgeis above Mals, trading as Maraias GmbH (VAT IT03051900219, REA BZ-227831, CIN IT021046B47B7GAAHV) and run by the Punt family. It mixes hotel-style rooms and suites sold with breakfast against self-catering apartments — nine published categories: Garden Room and Double Room Venusta, Junior Suite Zebru, Penthouse Suite Marins, plus Apartment Ortles and Ortles Superior, Apartment Planitza Superior and two Farm Apartments. The business goes back three generations: Johann Punt built the property in 1961–62, the pension opened in 1967 with 25 beds, and Annelies Punt ran it with him from 1969. The current MARAIAS LUXURY SUITES & APARTMENTS opened in summer 2020 after a rebuild and repositioning, which matches the recent company registration. Wellness is substantial for the size: a 23-metre heated saltwater infinity pool running indoor to outdoor with Ortler views, a sauna landscape, fitness room, treatments and a day spa open to non-residents. There is no restaurant — breakfast plus a 'Dine around' arrangement with neighbouring houses, a lounge and a small boutique. The distinctive asset is the farm. 'Maraias-Farm' is a working smallholding with livestock and farm products, wired into the guest offer through a 'From farm to table' concept, bookable 'landwirtschaftliche Erlebnisse' (agricultural experiences) and two Farm Apartments. Sustainability is a stated pillar — soft mobility, environmental commitments and a published philosophy. Commercially it runs the standard tt•consulting stack found at Tuberis and Garberhof — TYPO3, tarteaucitron consent, tt-digital newsletter, Google measurement — with the Booking Südtirol widget as the booking engine and, unusually, GASTROPOOL rather than HOGAST as the online payment rail. It also runs GIGGLE.TIPS, a platform for selling experiences and ancillaries.
