Il Roccolo - apartment on a farm

Il Roccolo features a small living room, a kitchenette with two hotplates, a refrigerator, and a microwave, an en suite bathroom, and, upstairs, a bedroom with a double-decker bed.
The building dates back to the late 18th century. Towels, soap, and a hair dryer are provided. Pots, pans, and dishes are stored in the kitchen cabinets.
Breakfast is not included. However, for those who wish, it is served in the designated breakfast room. Pets are allowed.

The recent restoration has faithfully preserved the original structure, so the interior walls feature exposed stone, and the ground-floor ceiling has been restored while retaining the original beamwork. The attic, on the other hand, has been completely renovated with antique fir flooring and a wood-paneled ceiling, making it bright and functional. The building is heated in the winter with individually controlled thermostats. The bathroom is equipped with both a toilet and a shower. Towels, soap, and a hair dryer are provided. The kitchen cabinets contain pots, pans, and dishes. Free Wi-Fi is available both inside and outside the house.

Breakfast is self-catered, thanks to the kitchenette in the cottage. During the appropriate season, we’ll be happy to provide you with organic eggs, fruits, and vegetables from our gardens. You’re welcome to come with us to pick them yourself. Alternatively, upon request, breakfast service is available for 10.00 euros per person in the breakfast room of the main building. In the Alpine tradition, breakfast consists of sweet and savoury dishes, homemade jams, fresh bread, milk, and many other items, including eggs from the farm. It’s essentially a brunch.
Outside, there are tables and chairs in the sun or under the trees that guests can use for lunch, reading, or working on a laptop. Ortoalpino provides two mountain bikes for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. We offer them free of charge.
Behind the two cottages, there’s a small area with a fire pit where you can safely build a fire and cook meat and vegetables. This service is also free; simply go into the nearby woods to gather firewood.

It is very important to us that our guests, if they wish, feel like part of the farm. Check-in takes place at the main building, which serves as a point of contact for any needs or questions. Nighttime service is always available at the main building or, especially in the summer, at the guesthouse accommodation. Staff are also available to give tours of the farm and show you the animals, subject to availability and favourable weather conditions.

This hospitality is part of a broader project: the house is often visited by guests and groups who share spaces and activities. Michele and his team guide guests on a tour of the property and are on hand to make their stay as enjoyable as possible.

One of the experiences offered is the “shared garden”: a sunny area where guests can participate in simple farming activities such as sowing seeds, tending to plants, and harvesting produce during their stay. The goal is to have a hands-on experience with nature, even if it doesn’t always follow the entire cultivation cycle. Tools are provided on-site, and no fixed commitment is required: everyone participates freely, in accordance with natural farming practices.

Another offering is the “Farm Dinner,” a convivial experience featuring traditional Alpine dishes prepared with local ingredients. The menu is set and the same for everyone; it changes every evening and includes 1 or 2 starters, a first course, a main course, and dessert. Alternatives are limited, for example, for vegetarians. Dinner is served at 8:00 p.m. in the breakfast room and can be shared with other guests, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere.
