The house is basic but spacious enough for 4 people. The stream is nearby and wonderfully cooling. Plenty of walking opportunities. The road to the cottage is a thingy 45 minutes uphill. An experience every time. Near the house is a restaurant. How does it exist! We spent a wonderful week here with 4 adults and a little girl of 2 years. The key transfer did not go so smoothly. After telephone contact we ended up at the Denner supermarket.

Very nice, well-kept house at the end of the valley. Wood stove, cozy rooms and a sensational landscape have shaped our holidays.

For us it was a very nice week in nature. Our girls, 7 and 8 years old, felt very comfortable. We particularly liked the nearby waterfall with its bathing area. At the river right in front of the house we gave each other many happy hours. The evenings by the fireplace were also very cozy. You have to like the journey to and from the rustico. Luckily there was little oncoming traffic. A beautiful area for hiking. Unfortunately, the paths are poorly labeled and sometimes not recognizable.

Gerda from Germany

The last house in the Malvaglia valley - then only pure nature. An enchanting landscape with many waterfalls, you can hardly get enough of it. Starry sky, mountains, waterfalls and the sound of the Orin - fantastic. The power supply is excellent for an alpine hut, there is hot water... you can cook, the beds are great, everything is super clean - what more could you ask for.... We had a wonderful holiday and thank you very much for the caring care! happiness and blessings!

Restful and relaxing holidays far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The house is a little gem and the location far back in the valley is absolutely great if you appreciate the peace and nature.

short hints: from Malvaglia village to the house you need at least 1 hour by car and the last part on foot !!!

Ivo from Germany

For everyone who likes it secluded and quiet. Wonderfully situated and embedded in a pristine nature. You can linger on the Orino River and it has bathing spots where you can even swim. Highly recommended place.

The location of the cottage is simply priceless. Many hikes can start directly from the house. The most impressive thing was the waterfall about 400m away.

Hanspeter from Germany

Great located rustico in a beautiful mountain valley. For children, the nearby stream is a great playground near the house. This rustico is suitable for people who like to hike or walk and enjoy nature.

The location of the house is really beautiful. Totally quiet and secluded. However, you should stock up on sufficient supplies, because it is not possible to drive down to the valley to get bread rolls. Descent into the valley and return to the hut takes almost 60 minutes. The house is cozy, clean and well equipped. We felt very comfortable. Our dog also loved everything, especially the creek.

was good, only that we hadn't expected to pay another 100.fr for additional costs on site. I looked it up and interhome didn't list anything. in the future, 'wood+gas bottle' should also be listed as additional costs on site.

Beautiful House, Beautiful Location! Soberly furnished but neat and clean. Energy comes from solar panel but can come from generator in case of emergency. Heating by fireplace. Surcharge Use of wood, gas, electricity 8 CHF per day. Nearest supermarket 50 min drive. Mountain road to the cottage not suitable for people with a fear of heights. From the parking lot to the house you have to walk 250 meters up a steep path. Do not use suitcases but backpacks. Key holder is friendly and easily accessible for questions. The location is truly breathtakingly beautiful. Beautiful view. Ideal for a holiday with a dog (terrain not fenced!) We certainly hope to come back here!
