"Experience the tranquility of a historic retreat in the heart of the Alps, perfectly positioned between mountain peaks and glacial lakes."
Located within the 16th-century complex of Palazzo Guicciardi—a noble residence of a family present in the region since 773 AD and documented in its current form since 1548—Il Granaio (The Granary) is a characterful apartment that offers a peaceful haven even during the busiest holiday seasons.
