Alpe di Caviano

Surrounded by nature from sunrise to sunset

Alpe di Caviano, owned by the Patriziato of Castel San Pietro, is a haven of tranquillity immersed in nature. It is accessible on foot from Castel San Pietro via the mule track that climbs from Obino, or by following the agricultural-forest road that winds down from Bellavista on Monte Generoso.

Completely renovated, the building is now a welcoming and modern mountain lodge, thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of groups, families, and hiking couples. On the ground floor, guests will find a room adapted for people with disabilities and a cosy restaurant with a rustic charm.

The first floor features five double rooms with shared facilities and a lovely terrace—perfect for moments of relaxation, contemplation, and aperitifs with breathtaking views. The second floor hosts a spacious attic with ten comfortable single beds and shared bathrooms, ideal for hiking groups and mountain lovers.

The large panoramic terrace overlooks a spectacular landscape that stretches all the way to the Alps. Here, immersion in nature is total—a place to disconnect and reconnect with yourself and your surroundings.
