All four seasons
Most beautiful holidays in Ticino
La primavera – Spring

In spring, the vast park belonging to our hotel presents a world of its own … and surprises our mind, soul and spirit daily with new colours and natural fragrance.Fleurissez vous aussi, dans notre paradis!
Blossom in our garden!!!

The flowers and mild climate make the Tessin a popular destination in spring. In February our camelies blossom as well as the mimoses and rhododendron … earlier than elsewhere … and in March our 85´000m2 garden is already full of colours and fragrance of all sorts.

In April/May everything here blossoms almost as in subtropic areas and variety …

Springtime: take a time out to begin something new, here with us at Paladina …
L’estate – Summer
Summer is the time for open air activities in Tessin
Open air concerts on the public places, such as f.e. in Lugano or Ascona with Blues or jazz, or the internationally known film festival of Locarno.
In our holiday center we offer unforgettable family camps with children´s programmes (Juli, August) as well weeks on a special topic with access to daily lectures for free (March to November) on a variety of current interests.
For the sake of families we do not raise prices during peak seasons!
Summertime? Paladinatime!

“How is the weather?” – Here in Tessin there is only one answer: “Wonderful!” Many visitors coming from the north are here to relish the sunshine and warmth.

We know of some light rain and some stormy fronts in summer, yet they never last for long!

As the saying goes: “We in Tessin always enjoy wonderful weather!”
Are you looking for a nice quiet corner in the sun or in the shade of a palm tree? Or better enjoy yourself under the majestic platane covering part of our terrace? Or even better plunge into the warm lake of Lugano or Lago Maggiore …

What about landing with your glider in our garden, enjoying our cuisine, lying on our deck chairs on the terrace of our cafeteria or under the starry sky beside the pool …

Just enjoy the beauty of life, take your time and get your energies renewed!

Besides: thanks to our very funny kid´s programme families enjoy holidays at the Paladina very much so. From baby to grandparents, from teenager to mums and uncles: everyone will find something to enjoy! Boredom or stress! No way!
L’autunno – Autumn

In autumn, life seems to slow down a bit from energetic summers to coming winters.

For the local people this is the most beautiful season … an explosion of colours and nature products.

The days get shorter, yet still with very much sunshine, sunny and mild climate. The trees are a rainbow of reds, yellows and ochres and the wine grapes are ready to be harvested.

Delicious chestnuts are collected and roasted everywhere in Ticino, also in our hotel!

It is worth while experiencing the wonder of this season at our hotel, enjoying yourself with hiking or biking, strolling through the cities of Lugano, Locarno or Milano.
Autumn in Tessin: something not to be missed!
L’inverno – Winter

Our park seems to sleep during this season, yet winter is short-lived here. In Tessin nature awakens in January already and first buds on our fig trees or our first camelie blossoms are to be discovered.
.

Thanks to its souther location and well-protected by the Alps, this region presents many advantages: fog is not really known here, but even in winter a lot of sunshine and mild climate.

While our hotel closes down during winter, our newly built Casa Stella is open for self-catering throughout. Wonderful, modern and practical studios with fantastic panorama are all with spacious balcony or garden lounge to enjoy the sunshine even now.

Even our whirlpool (36°) with its fantastic view is open as well as our cafeteria (24hrs), and everything for sensational prices!
