Palazzo Guicciardi
Historic Residence & Alpine Charm In the heart of the Valtellina Alps
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.
Follow by foot or byke the Wine Terraces Trial, which passes right under the House, and that runs halfway through the vineyards or The Valtellina Trial, a 100 km pedestrian and bike road along Adda River
Don't forget the surrounding areas: in less than an hour you will be on Lake Como or in Engadin, at the spa or on the ski slopes of Bormio. In less half an hour to Aprica with ski area in winter and hiking with Rangers to discover the fauna of the Park of the Orobie in summer; or, skiing in Valmalenco or, in any season, the station for the Bernina Express for a trip on viaducts and the sight of views that will leave you breathless and it will take you to the fashionable St. Moritz or on the trails or cross- country or downhill Swiss valley. In ten minutes, however, in the neat and beautiful historic center of Sondrio with large Saturday market, or in the bustling Teglio, homeland of "pizzoccheri".
Nestled in the heart of the country-side, our B&B and County House is perfectly located for the weekend break or a leisurely mid-week holiday.
