Palazzo Guicciardi: Living Twelve Centuries of History in the Alps (1548)
"Stepping across the threshold of Palazzo Guicciardi means entering an indissoluble bond with the territory."
Owned and preserved by our family, present in Ponte in Valtellina since 773 AD (when our ancestor Guicciardo settled here after crossing the Alps following Charlemagne), this noble residence is documented in its current form since 1548. Today, the Palazzo opens its doors as an exceptional retreat where modern comfort meets authentic Renaissance art.
The Property: Renaissance Atmosphere & Contemporary Comfort
The estate offers two distinct souls that can be experienced separately or together for larger groups:
The Palazzo (Noble Wing): The heart of the residence, featuring spacious rooms that adapt to the rhythm of the Alpine seasons. On the ground floor, you will find the 1579 Stüa (a traditional room entirely paneled in ancient wood), the Kitchen of the Senator with its monumental stone fireplace, and the Green Parlor overlooking the loggia. It features three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The Fresco Rooms (May – September): A "living museum" on the first floor. To protect the precious 16th-century fresco cycles, these rooms are not artificially heated, offering natural cool and a timeless summer experience (available for groups of more than 4 guests or as a Prestige upgrade).
The Granary (Il Granaio): A character-filled apartment converted from the ancient granary, connected to the main building by a "glorietta" (a small bridge-loggia) spanning the street. This independent unit features a contemporary design, a loggia overlooking the mountains, and air conditioning.
Location: Between Heroic Vineyards and Alpine Trails
Located in the heart of Ponte in Valtellina, a village that has perfectly preserved its medieval and Renaissance footprint, the Palazzo is the ideal starting point to discover a unique territory:
Via dei Terrazzamenti (Terrace Way): A cycling and walking path through the "Heroic Vineyards" (a UNESCO World Heritage site). It is the best way to admire the ancient dry-stone walls and historic churches dotting the Rhaetian slope.
Sentiero Valtellina: Over 100 km of cycling path along the Adda River. A flat and safe itinerary, ideal for families and nature lovers.
The Bernina Red Train (UNESCO): Just a short distance away, embark on one of the world’s most spectacular rail journeys toward the Swiss glaciers and St. Moritz.
Alps & Lakes: Lake Como is reachable in less than an hour, as are the most famous Alpine passes. For sports enthusiasts, the Adda River offers thrilling rafting, while the Alpine streams are ideal for sport fishing.
Ski & Spa: Only 20 minutes from the ski resorts of Aprica and Valmalenco, and close to the millenary thermal baths of Bormio.
