Located in the Val di Blenio between the villages of Castro and Ponto Valentino the property comprises a villa of granite and lime mortar construction, an outbuilding and a small garden.

Over the road we have a small plot of agricultural land. For reasons that will become obvious, this is affectionately known as The Jungle!

The property has spectacular views across the valley!

In a rural location in the commune of Acquarossa it is well served by local services.

For those who like the outdoor life we have spectacular places like the Lucomagno Pass and Lago di Luzzone on our doorstep. We also have the ski resort of Nara very nearby.

The House will provide us with a home in a beautiful part of the world. As a family hotel it will hopefully provide retirement income to supplement our pensions.

Doing most of the renovation work ourselves the project very personal and, despite a few "what the hell are we doing" moments it is very satisfying.

Our initial plan was to complete the work by 2025, however, this turned out to be unrealistic, especially with some unforeseen challenges (both construction and family). The timeline below reminds of progress made and what remains to do.
