Solar panel wall and vertical garden. Sorry, Kermit – here it’s easy being green.

Nestled on a hill overlooking Lake Maggiore and just a 5-min walk from the funicular for easy access to the centre of Locarno.

Onsite restaurant is set up so you can see the chefs in action (impressive!).

Upscale resort with two indoor and outdoor pools, plus a hydrotherapy pool at the posh Lake Maggiore-inspired spa.

Just when you think the vibrant rooms can’t get any better, they do. (Balconies!)
