Casa Giacomina - Avegno (Ticino)

In this house, my grandmother grew up together with her three brothers, her sister Giacomina, and her parents until she got married. Already active in the holiday rental sector, my husband and I chose to preserve and celebrate the memories and our roots in the Maggia Valley by opening the doors to guests, allowing those who stay here to enjoy an authentic experience. 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, 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.

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.
