Location
Just a few metres from the crystal clear waters of the River Verzasca, this cottage is ideally located for guests to hike through the valley and up into the mountains. It is 15 minutes upstream from the famous Ponte dei Salti which is a popular swimming spot. The picture-perfect village of Sonogno is 5 minutes in the other direction. This is an excellent starting point for the much-loved BoBosco trail through unspoiled alpine woods.

Just 45 minutes away is the beautiful city of Locarno, on the shores of Lake Maggiore. The city is home to many excellent restaurants and hosts a weekly market every Thursday in Piazza Grande. The market combines a farmers market, where you can pick up the best local produce, with stalls selling regional crafts and second-hand clothes, books etc.

The closest international airport is in Italy. Milan Malpensa is 2 hours away by car.
