    Sweet little house with amazing views in a lovely village in the hills above Locarno. We came without a car, expecting to be able to walk into Locarno, which was trickier than expected, but the bus connections were frequent and excellent, so this...

    Das Haus an sich, die nett eingerichteten Räume, die hervorragend ausgestattete Küche, das Getränkeangebot, die Nähe zur Bushaltestelle, schnelle Kommunikation per Telefon, Email, SMS, um das Schlüsselthema zu lösen.

Romantic stay in a shabby chic style furnished house with cozy mezzanine sleeping area. Traditional vaulted wine cellar offering a choice of wines from handpicked local producers that can be bought to be tasted during the stay.
After many years living abroad I returned to my native town to follow my passion. As Sommelière and Cook I love to share my knowledge hosting cooking and wine classes to promote local cuisine, wine and traditions in a true home-born setting.
Brione sopra Minusio is a charming small town overlooking the lake Maggiore. A nice breeze during hot summer months, quiet nights and breathtaking views just a few minutes from Locarno and Ascona. Great hikes and mountain bike tracks close by.
