Looking for the Essence and Romanticism of the Swiss Italian region of Ticino?
Welcome to our Rustico!
The Stand alone, 90m2, 4 room Rustico holiday house is on the edge of Brione as one heads towards Sonogno. Uninterrupted panoramic views of the Verzasca valley, waterfalls and only a 5 minute walk through natural woodlands to the Verzasca River. The Rustico "Fontanella" has been completely transformed to a tasteful, modern, comfortable abode which includes Free hi-speed Internet/Wi-Fi, Satellite T.V. and central floor heating. The interior blends harmoniously the old with the new in a private and comfortable manner. Spring fed water better than the bottled variety, is supplied to every tap. A lockup Garage is also provided for your “pride and joy”. Guests wants and needs will be fulfilled both in this property and the region during their stay whether for work, rest or play! Stepping out the front or rear doors will find you on a choice of formed walkways which will take you to the well stocked Supermarket, Bank/ATM, Post office, 12th century Church (all 250m) or Restaurant/Pub Piee (1200m) or further along to streams, rivers, waterfalls, lakes and the higher alps. Either taking the year round regular Bus (200m) or driving one can find attractions like the Valley historical museum (Sonogno), Ancient Roman bridge (Lavertezzo), GoldenEye 007 Bungy Jumping and viewpoint (Verzasca Dam), many specialty regional culinary eating places along the length of the Verzasca Valley or within 30mins the shopping, cultural, arts and entertainment hubs of Locarno and Ascona.

An Aussie and a Swissie. Yep, long distance relationship, but then when you find the right one nothing is to far, to impossible!! Its Cosmic.
Why they chose this property
Stay and you will find out!! There are many houses but only a few feel really like home....
What makes this property unique
The warmth and friendliness of the locals, the fresh clean air, mountains all around, river, waterfalls, vistas and views abound, wildlife within meters, accessibility and walking distance to everything, all year public transport(runs like clockwork), the taste of the spring fed water, the energy of the place. We saw it, we loved it, we bought it!!!
