  • La Residenza dello Scoiattolo - Bed & Breakfast Video: La Residenza dello Scoiattolo is in the middle of the Anzasca Valley, little more than 10km from Macugnaga, on the slopes of Monte Rosa. Perfect for skiers in winter and for mountain walkers (or simply people loving nature) in summer, this is a lovely part of the world, where Italy meets Switzerland. The B&B provides friendly, comfortable accommodation. Set away from other houses, the lodge is nonetheless close to the village, providing a winning mix of privacy and convenience. The owners are on hand to help with any questions or needs, and the accommodation provides a charming, relaxing and very beautiful holiday base in Italy. The two-storey villa sits within its own garden, enveloped by a huge wisteria, and with the woods nearby. The first floor is entirely given over to the Bed & Breakfast: there are 2 bedrooms, 1 double room with a wide terrace with a view on Monte Rosa, and 1 single room. In addition, there is a bathroom exclusively for the use of the B&B, a passage room and a second, wider solarium terrace at the back of the house. A generous and varied Continental Breakfast is served downstairs each morning, by the fireplace in the sitting room. On this floor you will find the kitchen and a second bathroom with shower to be shared with the owners. The house has a distinctly Alpine feel, with the wood cladding of the building complemented by wooden walls, floors and ceilings, with wooden beams to complete the mountain ambience. The owners speak French and English.

    We have stayed here for a very relaxing weekend over Easter having long walks in the amazingly beautiful Anzasca valley. It was wonderful in every respect! Silvia did her best to make us feel at home and we surely did. Thank you very much for everything, we hope to be coming back soon. Wolfgang

    Like a home from home.

    The second time I have stayed and enjoyed every minute of it. Daniele and Silvia are very welcoming and will go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I will be going back again and so will my friends that came along with me, everyone being very impressed with their stay. Many thanks for making our trip so memorable. Andy.

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank you very much Andy. We do appreciate that and hope to see you again. It was pleasant to us too to have your friends and yourself as our guests, despite the "British weather" you had here: this was another way to make you feel at home, after all. See you soon.

    Bravi, Silvia e Daniele, hanno trasformato la loro casa in un luogo accogliente. Il loro B&B è molto simile proprio per questo ai primi che ho visitato molti anni fa in Irlanda. Anche qui la cordialità, la disponibilità che ti fanno sentire a casa tua. E tutto condito con professionalità. Al mattino, dopo una suntuosa dormita, ci aspettava una signora prima colazione con quattro chiacchere con Silvia e Daniele che ci raccontavano aneddoti e suggerivano soluzioni, percorsi. Senza dubbio ci ritornerò e non posso non consigliarla.

    Come a casa

    Silvia e Daniele sono riusciti a trasformare il loro B&B in "casa tua". La cordialità, gentilezza, familiarità con la quale accolgono l'ospite, sono ciò che rende, assieme al contesto generale del luogo, questo B&B il miglior rifugio dove poter trascorrere qualche giorno di vacanza. Un posto incontaminato, dove l'unico rumore che senti è il fiume che scorre accanto. Ci si può veramente rilassare e dimenticare, se pur per un breve periodo, il rumore assillante del traffico nel quale devi purtroppo immergerti tutti i giorni. Li ringraziamo e ci auguriamo di poter ritornare. Maria Luigia e Mario
