What works
- Original Chenot Method site — protocol integrity unmatched among Chenot-licensed peers
- South Tyrol setting (Dolomites, vineyards) outside any 'wellness aesthetic'
- Diagnostics depth on par with Lanserhof at comparable rate
Watch-outs
- Hardware older than the newer Weggis and Gabala flagships
- Restrictive Chenot food regime is non-negotiable — not for first-time wellness travellers

Merano for the source location and the Italian setting; Weggis for newer hardware and the lake-Lucerne views. Both run the same Chenot Method by family agreement.
