Rooms and apartments

An authentic stay across a spread-out property

Discover our rooms and apartments, set inside an old cluster of characteristic stone buildings recently renovated. Facing the woods, they offer silence, tranquillity and a striking view over the valley.

Comfortable, rustic and equipped with modern amenities, they are designed for a pleasant stay in an authentic and welcoming setting.

Two clusters, one stay experience

The farmhouse is spread across two clusters: the main building hosts the restaurant, reception and the four larger rooms, while the second building, immersed in quiet, sits about 100 metres below and can be reached with a short uphill walk.
