In the heart of Montescheno, centrally located and just a short walk from the forest, the Antica Locanda welcomes guests in an authentic and tranquil setting, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Antrona Valley. The establishment, an old village chalet with a centuries-old history, has been carefully restored to provide independent, warm, and functional spaces, perfect for families, couples, and small groups seeking relaxation, fresh air, and a slower pace, away from urban hustle. The location is ideal for both resting and exploring a surprisingly diverse landscape. Within an hour, one can reach the stunning Toce Falls, Lake Maggiore with Stresa and the Borromean Islands, Lake Mergozzo, the Alpe Veglia and Alpe Devero Natural Park, and the Premia Thermal Baths. Staying in the valley, within about thirty minutes by car, you can visit Lake Antrona and Lake dei Cavalli, popular destinations for hiking and alpine views. Just a hundred meters from the house, trails of varying difficulty begin, suitable for both children and more experienced hikers. Additionally, the Vigezzina railway departs from Domodossola, offering scenic connections to Locarno in Switzerland. The accommodations on the recently renovated upper floor consist of two independent units designed for a practical and comfortable stay. The Gatto apartment, approximately seventy square meters, can accommodate up to six people and features a double bedroom, a room with single beds and a pull-out bed, a fully equipped kitchen, and a living room with a television, board games, and a sofa bed. The bathroom includes a shower. The Volpe apartment, around forty square meters, accommodates up to three guests and offers a room with a French double bed, a spacious living room with a kitchenette, television, and a sofa bed, as well as a bathroom with a shower. Both options come with a furnished balcony featuring a table and seating, perfect for enjoying the views in peace. Amenities include WiFi, a washing machine, microwave, coffee maker, kettle, toaster, linens, and essential kitchen and personal care products, along with a hairdryer, sewing kit, and first aid kit. Safety measures include a fire extinguisher and carbon monoxide, smoke, and gas detectors. A crib with linens is available upon request, and there are toys for younger guests. From April to September, guests can also enjoy an outdoor space equipped with a barbecue, table, benches, umbrella, and sun loungers. One pet is allowed per apartment. The owner, a knowledgeable guide to the mountains and local trails, is happy to offer personalized suggestions for hikes and activities, along with a small gift related to the local tradition of herbs and liqueurs. Although she may not always be present during the week, she remains an attentive and available point of contact, with a trusted person on-site for any needs. The Antica Locanda is located in the village, just beyond the bell tower, in a sunny area even during winter months, a rare characteristic in an alpine environment.
