The infrastructures provide comfortable room for 30 people, and in their simplicity the opportunity for guests to immerse themselves in a life in contact with nature. The meals are cooked in an economical kitchen, and energy and hot water are generated by solar panels and photovoltaic systems. In this beautiful area of the Valle Verzasca you can also enjoy a nice view of the Lago Maggiore.
