Antique wood floor, four windows, and independent exit. Hand-designed and handcrafted furnishings made from larch wood from the Piumogna Valley, cut according to the lunar calendar. Private en-suite bathroom with wooden shower enclosure and toilet. Double bed, armchairs that convert into single beds – ideal for a couple with plenty of space or for a family. Buffet breakfast every morning. Casa Piumogna is located in the center of Faido, a Belle Époque health resort where the Milanese upper class used to come in search of clean air and well-being—and where people still come today for the same reasons. A two-minute walk away, a path leads to the Piumogna Waterfall Park: pine forest, barbecue area, tables, and a small bar for an aperitif. The perfect place to do nothing in the best possible way. We also have other rooms listed on this platform, La Gialla and La Rossa. Who we are and how Casa Piumogna was founded We are Clara and Davide. Architects by day, bricklayers on weekends, hosts by vocation. When we first saw Casa Piumogna, it was abandoned. For many, that's a problem. To us, it's a promise. Five years of slow, determined work. Construction on weekends, decisions made and reconsidered, materials sought, found, sometimes discarded. We chose not to touch what shouldn't be touched – the proportions, the walls, the light – and to add only what was truly necessary. The furnishings don't come from a catalog. We designed each piece ourselves and crafted it from larch wood sourced from the valley, cut according to the lunar calendar – an ancient practice that ensures more stable, denser, and longer-lasting wood. We use real materials, time-honored techniques, and local hands. Not out of nostalgia — but because certain ways of doing things bring with them a quality that cannot be achieved otherwise. Our Casatonda team is made up of local people. Not all of them speak foreign languages, but what they offer needs no translation – it is genuine hospitality, provided with care and from the heart. In the bedroom, you will find practical information about the house, the valley, and everything worth exploring in the surrounding area. Casatonda Spaces to be in. Simply. Clara and Davide Conceprio Guest access Guests have exclusive access to their own room with private bathroom. The dining room on the ground floor is available to everyone: in the morning for a buffet breakfast, served from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., and during the day to relax or have a takeout meal in the evening. We ask that you consume meals and drinks (excluding water) only in the dining room — the bedrooms are designed for rest. The stay includes the Ticino Ticket, which you will automatically receive via email: free travel on public transport throughout Ticino for the entire duration of your stay, discounts on cable cars, boats, and major attractions — and free parking in municipal parking lots 200 meters from the house. However, it is possible to stop in front of the entrance for check-in and check-out, and move the car at your leisure once you have settled in. Self-check-in is via QR code—full instructions are sent by email before arrival. To receive them, it is important to provide us with your email address directly, as Airbnb does not share guests' personal contact details with hosts. The guest entrance is the side door, not the one on the main street—you will find all the directions to find it easily in the instructions sent via email. Casa Piumogna does not have a private outdoor area, but a two-minute walk away is the public park of the Piumogna waterfall — lawns, pine forest, children's playground, barbecue area, tables, and a small bar for an aperitif. In fact, our garden. In the summer, a small funicular leaves from the park and goes up to Pianaselva, where a small refreshment area with a swimming pool and a farm with grazing animals await you. During your stay For communications, requests, or advice about the valley, Jenny from the Casatonda team is your point of contact. You can reach her by sending a message to the company number found in the details. We always respond quickly. Clara and Davide are occasionally present in the house, especially for breakfast, but are always available for any need. Those who prefer their independence can rely on us exactly as much as they need, no more, no less. Other things to note Casa Piumogna has 8 independent rooms — other guests may be present during your stay. Please exercise discretion after 10:30 PM. Smoking not allowed throughout the property. Pets are not allowed It is not permitted to consume or store food and beverages in the room: the dining room is available at all times, and upon request, you can use the house refrigerator. In the bedroom, you will find all the practical information about the house and the valley. Casa Piumogna is part of Casatonda – a small project to restore historic houses in Ticino. If you enjoyed the way we worked here, maybe it's worth checking out the rest as well. Registration Details 10270
