Casa Giacomina - Avegno (Ticino)
Discover the charm of an authentic Ticinese rustic house dating back to 1566, located in the heart of Avegno’s historic village center. Carefully renovated, it blends traditional character with modern comfort. Once the home of my grandmother and her family, it still retains the authentic atmosphere of village life, nestled among historic alleys and just steps from nature. From here, you can easily reach the river, climbing and bouldering walls, as well as local grotti and numerous hiking trails, all within walking distance. With your stay, you help keep alive the memory of the house, the people who lived here, and its identity, passing it on through time.
Casa Giacomina is the third of three apartments that make up the rustic building, arranged lengthwise. The other two apartments are lived in year-round by residents, while Casa Giacomina has been designed specifically for holiday stays (located on the right-hand side, facing the village center).

In front of Casa Giacomina runs a small public path that crosses the historic village center. In the garden, you will have access to a pergola with a stone table and grill, perfect for outdoor lunches and dinners immersed in the atmosphere of the village.
Staying in the historic center also means rediscovering the charm of life as it once was: houses close together, doors opening onto the same pathway, children playing, and people meeting along the way. It’s a place where greetings come naturally, a few words are exchanged in passing, and everyday life intertwines spontaneously creating an authentic and welcoming atmosphere.

Casa Bruja - Mergoscia (Ticino)
Welcome to a traditional Ticino rustico that a German journalist and writer bought in the early 1960s as a writing retreat. He named the house "Casa Bruja", which is admittedly Spanish and not Italian. Translated, the name means "witch's house". In German, however, the Spanish "bruja" sounds like the "Bruch" in "Bruchbude". Because the rustico was not much more than that back then. And since then it has been a work in progress: whenever the family has been coming for more than 60 years, it is repaired - and above all improved. For them, the house is a very personal, individual place, sometimes with the charm of the imperfect! Here you can find a convivial atmosphere and at the same time enjoy the peace and relaxation of the place with a beautiful, wide view of the Lake Vogorno (also known as Lake Verzasca), Lake Maggiore and the surrounding mountains.
The holiday home consists of two buildings, each with two floors, a courtyard, a small garden with stone table with panoramic view, and a sun terrace. The house also has a private covered parking space with room for two cars.
