"La Nala" openspace in the house, wine and beer

Bright openspace on the second floor with a sunny balcony to the south of Osogna's historic square. Barrier-free environment where living area and sleeping area dialogue in harmony, offering a refined aesthetic experience and authentic tranquility. See mountains and waterfall while sipping coffee in the morning. On the ground floor we have a self-service with local products. TICINO TICKET included: free public transportation trips and discounts on experiences throughout Ticino. The space La Nala - Open space between light and tradition A dialogue between openness and intimacy Located on the second floor of Casa Vino e Birra, the La Nala Open Space embodies the philosophy of environments that flow into each other. The living and sleeping areas coexist without barriers, in a spatial continuum that invites a different perception of living, where boundaries dissolve in favor of experience. Southern light and warmth The living area, generously facing south, opens onto a sunny balcony that becomes a natural extension of the interior space. From this privileged position, the gaze embraces the historic square with its daily life, the majestic mountains that embrace the village and, in the distance, you can see the waterfall with its eternal movement. Here you will find a perfectly equipped kitchen (with dishwasher) that invites you to prepare dishes with local products, a table for four people ideal for convivial moments, and a comfortable single sofa bed for moments of reading or rest. Living materials that breathe with you During the renovation, we made a conscious choice: to use mainly ecological materials such as lime and wood, treating the surfaces with natural oils and beeswax. These materials are not inert, but alive - they breathe, age gracefully, respond to the seasons. The circulation system ensures a constant exchange of clean air, creating a healthy environment in perfect harmony with the natural materials. Roots and memory Nala is located in a typical late 19th-century Ticinese house, whose internal structure has been respectfully maintained, as well as the original external facades. Staying here means coming into contact with the historical memory of the place, perceiving the layers of time through carefully preserved architectural details. Shared intimacy The sleeping area accommodates a comfortable 160 cm bed, an essential coat rack, and a toilet with shower that, in line with the philosophy of open space, are not properly separated from the room. A bold choice that invites you to rethink traditional housing conventions. Ventilation is ensured by the efficient air recycling system. For those traveling in harmony This space is ideal for a couple or a small family in deep harmony. For families, we offer the possibility to book for 3/4 people, where the child can sleep on the sofa or on a mattress (with a supplement). Upon request, we can add a travel cot for babies (CHF 30 flat rate) or provide a high chair free of charge. The open nature of the space, with no clear separations between the different areas, may not be ideal for groups of friends looking for individual privacy – but it is perfect for those who want a shared experience without barriers. Explore Ticino with ease Although located in an authentic village away from mass tourism, La Nala is a strategic starting point for exploring the entire Canton of Ticino. We offer our guests the Ticino Ticket free of charge, which allows them to use all public transport in the region freely and to access discounts on numerous tourist attractions. You can thus alternate the tranquility of Osogna with the exploration of the liveliest cities and the most evocative places in the canton. Authenticity at your fingertips On the ground floor of the house, our small self-service shop offers a selection of local products, allowing you to savor the authenticity of the area without going far. Guest access Your home away from home Guests have an honesty shop (self-service shop) located on the ground floor of the house, in contact with the beautiful village square. Here you will find a careful selection of local products: fresh daily bread, butter, mountain honey, hand-prepared meals, homemade pasta, homemade sauces, homemade ice cream, fresh salads, alpine cheeses and organic eggs. The sale of fine Ticino wine and local craft beer takes place in the charming basement area of the house, where the natural temperature best preserves these specialties. From December to the end of May, we offer our guests an oasis of well-being: a room with a sauna for moments of deep relaxation (CHF 20 for an hour for two people) – an experience that is particularly appreciated after a day of hiking or on cool spring evenings. Outside, on the quiet village square, we have created an area with tables and deckchairs for moments of relaxation in the sun, perfect for outdoor breakfasts, afternoon readings or aperitifs at sunset under the Ticino sky. On the basement floor, there is a laundry room with a drying rack outside (free on request) and the area for recycling (glass, PET, aluminum and paper), in line with our commitment to sustainability. Our personal guide to the area Upon arrival, you will find our exclusive guide, available in different languages, which we have created specifically for our guests. In it, you can discover general information about the area, gastronomic suggestions personally selected by us, and a series of proposals for excursions and authentic experiences to be enjoyed on site. This guide is the result of our deep knowledge and love for this land, and will help you discover corners and flavors that often escape conventional tourist circuits. Other things to note A village of water and stone Our village has the distinction of being in close contact with beautiful river waterfalls with fresh, clear water that descend from the steep rocky mountains, creating a breathtaking natural scenery that embraces the characteristic historic center. This proximity to the water is not just aesthetic: measurements in Bovis units reveal that Osogna is located at a point of particular telluric energy, perceptible in different places in the village. Casa Vino e Birra: a building that tells stories The house that hosts you has been renovated following the principles of slow architecture, preserving the soul of the original late nineteenth-century building that once housed a small bar for the sale of wine and beer, from which it takes its name. The spaces have been designed as living organisms that interact with the energy of the place, using natural materials such as stone, lime, wood and iron. Many guests tell us about special sensations during their stay: deeper sleep, vivid dreams, an amplified perception of the surrounding environment. This is not just a matter of suggestion: it is the result of an approach to hospitality that considers not only physical comfort, but also energy and spiritual comfort. Services in the village In our village, our guests can take advantage of the following services: GROTTO AL POZZON: open only during the period April-October, authentic Ticinese Grotto that serves local products and is located near the bathing area with the visible waterfall. You will be served by our DUCCIO, an authentic host who cares about the freshness of the local products offered. Only cold products such as cold cuts, roast beef, dried meat, alpine cheeses and salads (no pasta, pizza...) BAR DEL GIOVAN: typical original 1960s coffee bar with the equally original GIOTTO host (possibility of having a full breakfast for CHF 10) PIZZAMANIA: a takeaway pizzeria where we can guarantee the authenticity and goodness of its pizzas and the kindness of NICOLA. Unfortunately, we don't have a grocery store at the moment, so I invite you to shop before you arrive. However, our small self-service shop on the ground floor of Casa Vino e Birra offers selected local products and can be useful for last-minute purchases or to discover local specialties. Basic amenities in our accommodations In our accommodations we provide basic: Shampoo and shower gel, oil and vinegar, salt and sugar Bed sheets, towels, and dish towels for the kitchen For coffee, we have a Bialetti moka coffee maker and a filter coffee maker. In addition, in the self-service area on the ground floor you will find an espresso machine for a fee (CHF 2.50 per coffee). Experiences beyond Osogna A five-minute drive away you will find Biasca with everything you need to shop, and 15 minutes away you will find Bellinzona, a beautiful quiet town with a nice market on Saturday mornings and three castles recognized by UNESCO. Osogna is also an ideal starting point to experience the Thermal Contrast Ritual on hot summer days: lie down on the smooth stones heated by the sun, and then immerse yourself in the fresh waters of the waterfall, in a cycle that regenerates body and spirit according to an ancient local tradition. In the area we also have rock with sport climbing routes, stones for boulder lovers and beautiful rivers for canyoning. You can take advantage of the free Ticino Ticket, which allows you to travel for free throughout Ticino by public transport and get discounts on numerous experiences. An invitation to shared care We try to offer a very high quality of cleanliness and services, so we rely a lot on the cooperation of guests to take care of our accommodation. Every effort by guests allows us to offer the best at a suitable price. We therefore invite you to experience the house as if it were your own and to report any problems. Casa Vino e Birra is not just a place to stay, but an experience that invites you to slow down, to rediscover the value of slow time, authentic connections and dialogue with a territory rich in history and nature.
