Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled at 1,080 metres above sea level in the heart of the Swiss Alps, Rustico Girasole is a cosy and characterful rustic single-family house set amidst open meadows in the tranquil locality of Melànico, in the district of Valle di Blenio, Acquarossa, Switzerland. This charming holiday rental offers a truly authentic mountain retreat, positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac with a south-east facing orientation that invites natural light and breathtaking views throughout the day. The property sits on a private natural-state plot of 1,000 square metres, partially fenced, and is surrounded by terraced gardens and open meadow, creating a serene and unspoilt setting ideal for those seeking a genuine connection with nature. It is worth noting that the house operates on an independent energy system, with power supplied by solar panels, while the stove, boiler, and refrigerator are all gas-operated, offering a self-sufficient and environmentally conscious living experience. Parking is available directly at the house, accessible via a narrow motor access road of approximately 200 metres on an unmade surface, which is not recommended for vehicles with low ground clearance.

A well-equipped terrace furnished with garden furniture invites you to dine and gather in the open air, while a dedicated barbecue house adds a convivial and practical dimension to outdoor living. The meadow that forms part of the property extends the sense of space and openness, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the unspoilt natural surroundings of the Valle di Blenio.
