LUXURY HOTEL
WORTH A TRIP
ECOFRIENDLY HIDEAWAY
Stay near Lake Ledro amid apple trees of the Concei valley at the glass-and-timber ecolodge Hotel Elda (
0464 59 10 40; www.hotelelda.com ; Via 3 Giugno 3; s €70-120, d €94-160; ) . Once a traditional
inn, it has been converted by the family's prodigal son, who invited a team of architect-designers to reinvent the
old building with five-star ecocredentials. The result is a happy combination of thermo-insulation and solar en-
ergy with state-of-the-art bathrooms and Philippe Starck furnishings. Do the eco-thing and immerse yourself in
the landscape. You'll find bikes at reception and a fully fledged bio spa, which comes in handy after mountain
walks.
