"Il Drago", independent apartment at Roseto del Drago in the historic center, is set within a charming 15th-century complex steeped in history. Bright and private, it boasts a spacious terrace overlooking the Casa Cassan courtyard, surrounded by blooming roses, hydrangeas, wisteria, and a grape arbor.

Garden and dogs allowed upon request The space The apartment features a bright living area with a kitchen and dining space, along with a master bedroom. Both rooms, characterized by warm larch wood floors, offer direct access through French doors to the floor's terrace—an ideal setting for dining alfresco and enjoying pure relaxation. The living area also includes two comfortable armchair beds. The bathroom, adorned with fairytale-like frescoes, is equipped with a shower and reached via a short internal staircase from the living room. Convenient free parking is available just a few meters from the entrance gate. A Journey Through History Finely restored, these spaces embrace a rich historical heritage: at the end of the 19th century, they served as the studio of great-great-grandfather Carlo Gerosa; in the first half of the 20th century, as a renowned photography studio; and more recently, as the Valtellina headquarters of the Milan Restoration Cooperative (Cooperativa del Restauro di Milano). The terrace, once used by the photographer as an outdoor portrait studio, preserves a striking painting depicting the Teglio tower, embedded in the 19th-century facade inspired by refined Alpine architecture. Guest access Upon request, guests have exclusive access to the historic spaces of Casa Cassan: the 15th-century cellars, the porticoes, the courtyards, and the enchanting garden with its rose garden, orchard, and vegetable garden overlooking the Venetian Alps (Orobie). The Winter Garden also features a rich library dedicated to local history and culture. Surrounded by the scent of flowers and aromatic herbs, these shared spaces are designed as a haven of peace, reading, and well-being. To preserve this tranquil atmosphere, we kindly ask guests to refrain from noisy games and to note that dogs are not permitted in the historic garden. The property also features a prestigious triple frescoed hall, ideal for events, courses, exhibitions, photo shoots, conferences, yoga practice, concerts, and intimate celebrations. The venue comes fully equipped with Wi-Fi, a high-definition projector and screen, a microphone, a mixer, and a high-fidelity sound system.
