Historic residence in the heart of the Alps

Live through twelve centuries of Alpine history in the heart of Valtellina.

"To cross the threshold of Palazzo Guicciardi is to enter an indissoluble bond with the land and the history of Europe."

Cherished by our family since 773 AD (when our ancestor Guicciardo settled here following Charlemagne), this noble residence, documented since 1548, has been restored to its former glory. Today, it is an exceptional retreat where modern comfort meets authentic art.

The Property: A Tailor-Made Experience
The estate offers spacious, atmospheric rooms ideal for families or groups seeking privacy and prestige:

The Noble Wing (The Heart of the Home): Includes the stunning 17th-century "Stüa" (1579), entirely wood-paneled; the Senator’s Great Kitchen with its massive stone fireplace; and the Green Lounge overlooking the loggia. (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms).

The Frescoed Rooms (Prestige Experience on request): A living museum on the first floor. To preserve the precious 16th-century fresco cycles, these rooms have no artificial heating.

Important Note: Access to these rooms is available exclusively during the summer months (May – September) and only upon specific request to be agreed at the time of booking. It is a unique experience for those wishing to fully immerse themselves in the Renaissance.

Outdoor Spaces & Nature
Guests have access to private courtyards, the ancient press porch, and a secret garden equipped with a BBQ for moments of absolute relaxation.

Experiences & Surroundings: Flavors, Lakes, and Heroic Vineyards
Located in the medieval village of Ponte in Valtellina, the Palace is the perfect base for exploring the valley:
