About this villa rental
Palazzo Guicciardi: Living twelve centuries of Valtellina history
"Stepping across the threshold of Palazzo Guicciardi means entering an indissoluble bond with the territory."
Owned and preserved by our family, present in Ponte since 773 AD (when our ancestor Guicciardo settled here after crossing the Alps following Charlemagne), this noble residence, documented since 1548, has been restored to its former glory through careful conservative restoration. Today, it is an exceptional retreat where modern comfort meets authentic art.
The Property: The Noble Wing
This reservation offers the exclusive use of the Noble Wing of the Palazzo, the historical heart of our hospitality, ideal for accommodating up to 5 guests. On the ground floor, you will find spacious and textured rooms:
The 1579 Stüa: Entirely paneled in ancient wood, it is a warm and secluded space, ideal for resting.
The Great Kitchen: Featuring a monumental fireplace.
The Green Parlor: A bright room overlooking the loggia.
The Noble Wing features a total of three bedrooms: the Senator's room, a double bedroom with painted ceilings and wall canvases; a single room overlooking the ancient wine-press courtyard and the garden; a twin room, which can also be set up with a double bed, overlooking the garden and the mountains; and two bathrooms.
(Note: The Palazzo Guicciardi complex also includes the "Il Granaio" annex and the monumental "Fresco Rooms" on the upper floor. If your group is larger than 5 people and you wish to rent the entire residence or add beds, we invite you to look for our dedicated listings on this portal or to contact us).
Location: Between Heroic Vineyards and Alpine Trails
Located in the heart of Ponte in Valtellina, a village that has perfectly preserved its medieval and Renaissance footprint, the Palazzo is the ideal starting point to discover a unique territory:
Via dei Terrazzamenti (Terrace Way): A cycling and walking path through the middle and lower valley at an altitude between 300 and 700 meters. It is the best way to admire the ancient dry-stone walls (UNESCO World Heritage), the vineyards, and the historic churches dotting the Rhaetian slope.
Sentiero Valtellina: Over 100 km of cycling path along the Adda River. A flat and safe itinerary, ideal for families, allowing you to immerse yourself in the valley's nature.
The Bernina Red Train (UNESCO): Just a short distance away, for an unforgettable journey toward the Swiss glaciers and St. Moritz.
Alps & Lakes: Lake Como is reachable in less than an hour, as are the most famous Alpine passes. For sports enthusiasts, the Adda River offers rafting, while the Alpine streams are ideal for sport fishing.
Ski & Spa: Only 20 minutes from the ski resorts of Aprica and Valmalenco, and close to the millenary thermal baths of Bormio.
Guest Notes:
Outdoor Spaces: Private courtyards, the ancient wine-press porch, and a secret garden equipped with a barbecue, a pergola, and a table for al fresco dining.
Family Friendly: In the Palazzo, we provide a complimentary crib and high chair upon request.
Accessibility: Due to the historic nature of this 16th-century building, there are stone stairs and passages that are not suitable for guests with limited mobility.

A unique experience to spend a week at the Palazzo Guicciardi.

We had a wonderful stay here, in this incredibly characterful and historic house. To begin with the children found it a little overwhelming, being so old, but it was clean, warm and well equipped, and it was a perfect base for our week long holiday in this hidden away and interesting area. The kitchen was a joy to cook meals and to eat in - it felt like one had stepped into a period drama TV show! The living room was very comfortable, and the bedrooms perfectly fine. We enjoyed using the table tennis table, and the location of the house, so central in very charming Ponte in Valtellina, was great - we had the little grocery shop less than a minute's walk away, the ice cream shop two minute's walk away (although it closed for the end of the season part of the way through our stay - probably a good thing!), and various cafes, restaurants and bars within five minute's walk. The cobbled streets of Ponte are quite lovely, and the views from here absolutely spectacular. The house's location gives many opportunities for exploration - we thankfully had a car for the week - suggested drives: visit the Alpe Gera dam (the drive there is incredible, and the dam is an awesome sight); drive into Switzerland up to St. Moritz, over the Bernino Pass (much cheaper than the Bernino Express, and you can stop when you like - stop at Poschiavo for a coffee and some food, and enjoy the change in architectural style, and other contrasts, but be aware that there's nothing cheap about St. Moritz that we could find!); drive up to the Stelvio Pass, than take the cable car up to the top station (it's truly spectacular, and to watch people skiing was quite a surprise - the whole drive and visit was a highlight); explore some of the hidden valleys not far from Ponte, including the Val Fontana (you won't see many people up here, and once you've parked as far up as you can, keep on walking, as it's very beautiful). We also enjoyed visiting Tirano - the Parravicini was superb, and for great pizza, try Il Braciere. Finally, we can't thank Marco enough (our host), for his very warm greeting, and the fact that he spent nearly an house showing us around and answering all our questions. He also gave us some lovely local food and drink - the salami and honey were amazing! Thank you Marco - we highly recommend that others come and stay at your house in Ponte, especially if they want to get off the beaten track a bit.

We felt very comfortable in the house and everything was as described and expected. Thanks also to Marco for the tips where you can eat and what can look like.
