The Castellaccio is a large ancient stone house of medieval origin, we've recently renovated. It is located in a hilly place, 500 meters above sea level, just above the village of Albavilla. It is surrounded by woods and has a priceless view of the Brianza plain, and in the distance it sweeps up to Milan and the Ligurian Apennines on clear days. IMPORTANT DETAILS: - The rooms are on the first floor and can be reached by a short flight of stairs, so unfortunately the property is not suitable for guests with reduced mobility. - WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF THE CAR to reach it, being UPHILL about 2km from the village of Albavilla along the road leading to the Alpe del Vicerè. The distance to the nearest bus stop is about 2km.

We are a former ice cream maker and a former English teacher with four adult children. Arrived at the threshold of retirement we decided to leave the city and our jobs and buy this large house and start the adventure of hospitality. We love simple things and we love the traditions and culture of our area. Exactly for this reason many furniture and objects in Castellaccio are rustic and recall the past.

The Castellaccio is located in upper Brianza, a few km from Lake Como, on the slopes of Mount Bolettone and a few minutes from the Alpe del Viceré, at the foot of the Larian Triangle. In addition to being able to quickly reach the main towns of Lake Como or the smaller lakes of Brianza, the surroundings offer great opportunity for walking, trekking or mountain biking. Ten minutes away, at the Alpe del Vicerè there is the adventure park "Jungle Raider Park" of Albavilla, with tree paths for all ages, and lawns with picnic areas and dining options.
