Near the centre of lively Madonna di Campiglio.

Play pool or table football in the games room.

Traditional hotel with a proper alpine feel.

The chalet-style Hotel Europa’s a really charming find – think wood panelling outside and in, and rustic paintings and antlers hanging on the walls. It’s perfectly placed too, with the slopes just behind you and Madonna’s bars and restaurants a short stroll away, so you can really make the most of what the stylish ski resort has to offer.

There’re a few ways to spend some downtime here. Challenge your mates to a pool or table tennis tournament, take things easy with a board game, and little ones can have their own fun in the ball pit. For something unique, check out the previous owner’s collection of vintage radios and fossils that’re kept in the hotel.

At mealtimes, you'll be spoiled for choice. Start each day with a full-on buffet spread, with everything from pastries and sausages to omelettes and pancakes. And when the evening rolls around, you’ll be tucking into proper Italian fare – and with five courses, there’s plenty of it. Fancy a nightcap? Head to the bar for a tipple, and if you like trying what’s local, ask for wine or grappa from the area.
