Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps, "Rustico La Dimora" is a small, beautiful, and cosy single-family house situated in the resort of Dandrio, in the district of Valle di Blenio, Switzerland, at an elevation of 1,220 metres above sea level. Renovated in 2022, this charming holiday rental occupies a central, sunny position in the countryside, approximately 380 metres from the river. The property is accessed via a narrow mountain road located 13 kilometres from Malvaglia, with an estimated driving time of 25 minutes. A 100-metre footpath leads directly to the house from the road. It is important to note that the property operates on solar panel energy, meaning that electrical appliances exceeding 250W cannot be used. The stove, boiler, and refrigerator are all gas-operated. A private terraced garden, not fenced, surrounds the property, offering a peaceful and scenic outdoor retreat. Parking is available 100 metres from the house, accessible via the mountain road approach.

Garden furniture is available for your comfort, and a barbecue allows you to enjoy al fresco meals in the fresh mountain air. The garden's terraced layout takes full advantage of the property's elevated position, offering an open and scenic environment that reflects the unspoiled character of the Val Malvaglia landscape. Walking paths begin just 10 metres from the house, making the outdoor experience seamlessly connected to the wider natural environment.

Other Information

A storage room for bicycles is available inside the house, making it a practical base for cycling enthusiasts. Given the nature of the access road and the surrounding terrain, the use of a private car is strongly recommended. Please be aware that animals are present in the neighbourhood.
