The House

The house is about 300 years old and was completely restored in 2023. It is perched on a sunny hillside with a splendid view over the mountains and offers an excellent location for mountain holidays, whether you want to walk, ski or just relax.

Sleeps 6.

There is central heating, plus a wood-burning stove in the sitting room. On the very bottom floor there is a “crotto” (cave) where the animals used to live which now houses the central heating

There is a bar and restaurant 150m from the house. A supermarket and local deli are easily accessible in Chiavenna, as are some fantastic local restaurants.

Wifi and Sonos speakers.
