The space
Renovated cottage in the historic center of Tegna, with over 270 years of history still alive and to be relived. Historic Guesthouse Tegna, holidays in historic buildings in Ticino, you can find it all at Casa Gelso 1750.

The garden is the result of a particular style of gardening, based on the use of native flora, the reconstitution of natural vegetation, and respect, as far as possible, for all the components of the ecosystem, more nature and less manual intervention.

Guest access
Access only on foot as it is located in the historic center of the village, 5 minutes from the train station and the parking lot for the car.
The house is located in an idyllic corner of the old town, there is a private outdoor space with table, chairs and deck chairs, which gives direct access to the shared garden.

Other things to note
We are located 5 minutes from Tegna train station and the Ponte Brolla bus stop or the car park near the Church.

We respect nature by using biodegradable detergents and soaps, we offer Fairtrade coffee and garden fruit, depending on the season we have organic honey or homemade jams made with our fruit. We invest our resources in a more respectful and sustainable future.

Hot water is available in unlimited quantities, let's use it sparingly, at least so everyone can take a shower ;-)."

For those traveling with babies or children, you can ask us to provide a high chair, cot, and other items for the little ones so that we can prepare them before your arrival.

With children over 3 years of age, we need to see if it is possible to sleep in the parents' room. Ask us first to find a suitable solution.

My work: Independent work - since 2004
Favorite song in high school: Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
I am a quiet person, I really like to cook and go into nature. In my free time, I dedicate myself to the vegetable garden to produce fruit, berries, and vegetables for the house and our guests. My travel philosophy is not much better but well, I love the magnificent landscapes of our Alps, Provence, Brittany, villages and medieval towns. I've been working on my own for almost 20 years as a landscape craftsman and everything I've learned to do over the years. Together with my family, I renovated an old eighteenth-century house "Casa Gelso 1750", to create a small Guest house with rooms and holiday apartments in historic buildings, houses surrounded by a beautiful natural Mediterranean garden. We live and work here in this corner of land, so we can then share the fruits of our work with guests and friends and enjoy together the natural foods, jams, herbal teas and fruits, or simply the nature of this place.
