Hotel Europeo Alpine Charme & Wellness, Pinzolo, Italy

· 2 minutes' walk to the town centre · 10-minute walk or 4-minute shuttle bus to the Funivie Pinzolo gondola and the ski school meeting point

True to its name, this hotel puts a modern spin on that classic alpine look and has those key facilities to make your off-slope hours blissful. The spacious rooms put nature front and centre, with puzzle-like wood slices decorating the walls and slate-grey tiling in the bathrooms. When you’re not off slope-swooshing, you can keep drinking in those mountain views while you swim across the indoor pool. And for some extra relaxation, the spa’s just the ticket – so take your time unwinding in the steam room, sauna and hot tub.

When you’re ready to get skiing, the hotel runs a free shuttle bus to and from the main gondola lift – so you can skip the walking in ski boots. Location-wise, you’ll be staying near the edge of town, so you get the perks of a peaceful spot while only being a 5-minute walk from the centre.

As for your half-board meals, lots of the ingredients are locally sourced from around Trentino, so you can really get a taste of the region. Breakfast is done buffet style, with lots of Continental picks like fruit, cold cut meats and cheeses, as well as bacon and eggs if you fancy something hot. And in the evenings, you’ll get 4 courses that look as good as they taste.
