Palazzo Guicciardi
Historic Residence & Alpine Charm In the heart of the Valtellina Alps
Location & Surroundings
​
Valtellina, in Northern Lombardy, on the Swiss border and less than an hour's drive from Lake Como, lies in the heart of the Alps. The property is situated in the center of the valley, in one of its most authentic villages.
​
Lose yourself among the cobblestones of the narrow village streets, where you will be marveled by the grand portals of historic palaces, the architecture of the hidden courtyards, and the 16 ancient churches.
​
Take a pleasant stroll to local taverns and restaurants to enjoy authentic Valtellinese cuisine or its refined modern interpretations, always pleasantly surprised by the excellent quality-to-price ratio.
​
Ascend to Alpe San Bernardo (1,300 m) or the Orobic side at Castello dell'Acqua to discover Agriturismi serving genuinely home-grown products, prepared and served with heartfelt care.
Walk or cycle the Sentiero dei Terrazzamenti (the Terraced Vineyard Trail), which passes right by the house, winding through the vineyards; or explore the Sentiero Valtellina, over 100 km of cycling and pedestrian paths along the Adda River.
Explore the wild beauty of Valfontana or Val d'Arigna. In just ten minutes, visit the historic center of Sondrio with its vibrant Saturday market, or the secluded village of Teglio, the spiritual home of pizzoccheri.
In less than half an hour, you can reach Aprica for winter skiing and summer excursions with the Orobie Park Guides to discover Alpine fauna; or Valmalenco, also for skiing and breathtaking treks among mountain huts.
In thirty minutes, reach the station of the Bernina Express (the "Red Train") to travel toward the Engadin and St. Moritz on a breathtaking journey across unforgettable viaducts and valleys.
In less than an hour, you can be on the shores of Lake Como or in Bormio, famous for its thermal spas and ski slopes.
Located in the heart of the valley, Palazzo Guicciardi—with its Granary and Frescoed Rooms—is the ideal place for a weekend break or a deeply relaxing holiday.
