Accommodations

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). The apartment is spread over three floors, connected internally by a spiral staircase.

Ground floor: fully equipped kitchen, living room with fireplace (not for guest use), and a guest bathroom with WC and sink.
First floor: main bathroom with bathtub, WC, and sink, and a double bedroom with a double bed (160 × 200 cm) overlooking a small terrace with a view of the courtyard/garden.
Second floor: bedroom with two single beds (which can be joined upon request, 2 × 90 × 200 cm) and a small “home office” corner.

For your health and comfort, all mattresses and pillows are covered with OEKO-TEX® STANDARD certified, hypoallergenic, breathable, and antibacterial covers. Bed linens and towels are made of 100% cotton and Swiss Made (Daniel Jenny & Co).

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.

ACCESSIBILITY
The house is located in the historic center, just off the cantonal road.
If you arrive by car, you will need to park in the area reserved for residents of the village center, about a 5-minute walk (200 m) from the house, near the parking spaces by Grotto Mai Morire (see photo).
If you arrive by bus, the nearest stop is Avegno Grotti, also just 200 meters from the house, directly opposite Grotto Mai Morire.

This short walk will allow you to immediately begin soaking in the authentic atmosphere of the village.

INTERNET & TV + PROJECTOR

High-speed Wi-Fi (150 Mbit/s) is available throughout the house. You can watch movies and TV by connecting your device via HDMI cable, either on the TV or the projector.
