Right in front of Villa Novecento's enchanting, wildly romantic hotel garden lie the city of Locarno, Lake Maggiore, and countless attractions.

The Mediterranean ambiance of this Ticino town is palpable as you leisurely spend time in one of the many lakeside restaurants. With an espresso in hand, watching and enjoying the hustle and bustle along the lakeside promenade. Dolce far niente – the sweet art of doing nothing.

There's plenty to do in and around Locarno. So, off to the island! The boat trip to the Brissago Islands alone is impressive and picturesque. The subtropical climate, with its approximately 1700 plant species, allows for a botanical world tour through the extraordinary garden.

For those who prefer higher altitudes, a short cable car ride takes you right into the fascinating green landscape of Cardada. From there, a chairlift ascends to Cimetta, offering a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of Lake Maggiore and the surrounding mountains and valleys.
