Mountain View Farmhouse Escape

The recently renovated rustico is the ideal place for those who want to relax, in the beautiful Centovalli, away from the roads, in the midst of unspoilt nature. An excellent starting point for excursions of varying difficulty. You can reach old Ticino villages such as Rasa, Terra Vecchia or Bordei without too much effort. There are also caves and restaurants. Our Capretta House is isolated and only 10 minutes from Rasa, above the meadows of our farm. You are also invited to take part in farm life, spend time with our animals and help in the stables. Take a dip in the cheese cauldron below our farm or hike in the nearby valleys, which are full of beautiful swimming spots. In our farm shop you will find a small selection of products from our farm, such as cheese, cold cuts, honey, jams and syrups. In summer you can also ask for vegetables. The house consists of a fully equipped kitchen (no dishwasher), a bathroom with shower and washing machine and a single room with a double bed and two single beds, a sofa with 2 armchairs and a table. Downstairs in the kitchen there is a sofa (which can be used as a sofa bed if necessary). ⚠️ Important: Closure of the Rasa-Verdasio cable car Unfortunately, the Rasa-Verdasio cable car will be closed from January until the end of summer 2026, as it will be completely renovated. During this period it will not be possible to use it. However, we guarantee luggage transport and, on request, we can also organise rides for our guests with our private cable car, which takes them directly to our company. Arrival and departure are free of charge, while each additional ride costs CHF 20. For any further details or logistical questions, we are happy to help. Arrival by car If you arrive by car, you can load your luggage onto our private cable car in Sassalto (between Corcapolo and Verdasio, on the left-hand side, a red cable car, about 1 km downstream of the Verdasio train station). We will transport your luggage directly to your accommodation. Arrival by train If you arrive by train, we can pick you up in Corcapolo or Verdasio and take you and your luggage with our private cable car to Corte. Your luggage will be delivered directly to your accommodation. Arrival from Bordei or Corcapolo For guests arriving on foot from Bordei, a footpath of about 3 km leads to Rasa and then to Corte (approx. 1.5 hours' walk). It is also possible to reach Corte di Sotto on foot from Corcapolo (approx. 1½ hours' walk). Casa Capretta is located above our farm and can be reached in about 5 minutes on foot via a path from our private cable car.
