Nestled in the nature of M. Sasso del Ferro, in a secluded position at 750 m asl, is the Capre e cavoli farm and agritourism that raises goats and produces cheese. In a rural setting and away from the hustle and bustle but only a 20-minute drive from Laveno on Lake Maggiore, you can find peace and contact with animals and traditions. The detached apartment located on the ground floor of our home is an open space of about 40 square meters with large windows and magnificent views of the surrounding mountains, equipped with a fully equipped kitchen, oven, refrigerator and dishwasher, solid larch floor and wood stove. The farmhouse is reachable only by car , not by public transport, from the traffic light in Cittiglio (VA) taking the SP8 that goes up to Vararo in 7 km (about 15 min). Starting on foot from the accommodation, one can go on beautiful hikes in the surrounding mountains with breathtaking views of Lake Maggiore and the Alpine chain. Numerous parks and nature reserves as well as places of art and history within a 30-km radius.

The small village of Vararo, which is 1 km from the farm, is a typical mountain village that still preserves rural dwellings with rustic courtyards.

Renato and Chiara are wonderful hosts. They know a lot about the area and are more than happy to help when it comes to planning hikes or suggesting day trips. Their lifestyle, in harmony with nature, is also very impressive.
The cottage is perfectly equipped and lovingly furnished. If anything is really missing, the hosts are more than happy to help out.
The delicious homemade cheese and the tasty honey are especially worth mentioning. Both can be purchased on-site.Renato und Chiara sind wunderbare Gastgeber. Sie wissen eine Menge über die Gegend und sind sehr gerne behilflich, wenn es um die Planung von Wanderungen oder Ausflugsideen geht. Sehr beeindruckend ist auch deren Lebensweise im Einklang mit der Natur.
Das Häuschen ist perfekt ausgestattet und liebevoll eingerichtet. Sollte wirklich etwas fehlen, sind die Gastgeber gerne bereit, auszuhelfen.
Besonders hervorzuheben sind der köstliche Käse aus der eigenen Herstellung und der leckere Honig. Beides kann vor Ort gekauft werden.No street noise, no artificial light: If you’re looking for absolute peace and relaxation, this is the perfect place for you. Aside from the goats, the birdsong, or the rustling of the wind, there’s hardly a sound to be heard. We’ve rarely slept as peacefully as we did here. If you’re lucky, you might even spot rare wildlife right outside your window.
Renato and Chiara gave us a very warm welcome.Kein Straßenlärm, kein künstliches Licht: Wer absolute Ruhe und Erholung sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Außer den Ziegen, dem Gesang der Vögel oder dem Rauschen des Windes ist kaum etwas zu hören. Wir haben selten so friedlich geschlafen wie hier. Wer Glück hat, kann auch seltene Wildtiere direkt vor dem Fenster beobachten.
Die Begrüßung durch Renato und Chiara war sehr herzlich.This text is automatically translated. -

We received a very warm welcome from Renato and his family. He knows an incredible amount about the area and, fortunately, loves to talk about it.
We zijn zeer hartelijk ontvangen door Renato en zijn familie. Hij weet ontzettend veel over de omgeving en verteld daar gelukkig graag over.
The cottage is located in a beautiful setting and has everything you need. Don't arrive too late in the evening, because the last few kilometers of the drive are on a road that is—by our standards—very winding and narrow.
Het huisje ligt in een prachtige omgeving en heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Kom niet te laat aan in de avond, want de laatste kilometers rijden gaat over een, voor onze maatstaven, erg bochtige en smalle weg.

It’s a lovely house equipped with all the amenities. The hosts are incredibly hospitable, and we felt very at home. All the information you’d need to find fun things to do in the area was readily available, and the host could tell you even more about them. The curtains don’t block out much light, so it gets quite bright very early in the morning.
Het is een fijn huis wat van alle gemakken is voorzien. De hosts zijn enorm gastvrij en we voelden ons erg op ons gemak. Alles wat je wilde weten om leuke activiteiten in de omgeving te doen was te vinden en de host kon je er nog veel meer over vertellen. De gordijnen zijn niet erg verduisterend, dus wel veel licht al vanaf erg vroeg in de ochtend.
It was a very peaceful setting with a beautiful view of the mountains. It was easy to go on lovely hikes there.
Het was een zeer kalme omgeving met mooi uitzicht op de bergen. Je kon er gemakkelijk mooie wandelingen maken.
