Experience Valtellina and Como Lake like a real native: authentic nature, real flavors, total freedom
Are you a lover of nature, outdoor sports, off-the-beaten-path adventures, and authentic experiences? Then this holiday home is perfect for you. Tucked away in the green hills of Valtellina, in Traona, it’s the ideal base to deeply explore the mountains, alpine villages, and valleys like a true local. From here, you can set off on scenic hikes, e-bike tours, or adventures in the nearby Val Tartano and Val di Mello — true natural paradises — or visit historic towns like Morbegno, Chiavenna, or Teglio, the birthplace of pizzoccheri. Lake Como is just a 10-minute drive away, or you can bike there along the cycling path that runs through all of Valtellina, surrounded by vineyards and breathtaking views. Don’t miss the Colico Fort or thrilling experiences like the Tibetan bridge in Val Tartano ("Ponte nel cielo").

This home is much more than just an apartment: it’s an authentic retreat, surrounded by greenery, with a secret garden accessed through a small backdoor and reserved for guests. It captures all the charm of living in close contact with nature. Hidden among fruit trees, vegetable gardens, berry bushes, and mountain scents, the garden is a natural terrace overlooking Valtellina. You'll find a relaxing area with a swing and hammock, a poolside area with a gas kitchen and dining table for outdoor meals, a barbecue (with owner assistance upon request), and a rustic pool (6x3 meters) framed by greenery. You can pick fruit straight from the trees, savor fresh vegetables from the garden, and — if you'd like — ask the owners to share fresh eggs, local recipes, or stories about real life in Valtellina. He is an expert local guide, and she is a passionate cook with deep knowledge of local traditions.
