CASA DEL SASSO

A true, panoramic Walser House of 1735 in the hearth of the small village Bosco Guerin, in Ticino, for those who love mountain, nature and this region full of history and tradition. The owners have kept the ancient construction and renovated it with care in 2011: like the organisation of the space, strictly divided in an area characterized by “stone”, dedicated to the kitchen and to the fireplace, made with a local stone, and an area characterized by wood, dedicated to the living area and to the bedrooms, made with the best quality of larch of the nearby woods. The heating system has remained the one fed with wood, where the main heat supply is provided by the ancient Pigna in stone, one of the few registered among those still existing in the valley.
