Palazzo Guicciardi: Living Twelve Centuries of Valtellina History
“Crossing the threshold of Palazzo Guicciardi means entering an unbreakable bond with the land.”
Guarded by our family—present in Ponte since 773 A.D. (when our ancestor Guicciardo settled here after crossing the Alps in the retinue of Charlemagne)—this noble residence, documented since 1548, has been restored to its former glory through careful conservation work. Today, it is an exceptional retreat where modern comfort meets authentic art.
The Property: Renaissance Atmospheres and Contemporary Comfort
The residence offers two distinct souls that can be enjoyed separately or combined for larger groups:
The Palazzo (Noble Wing)
The heart of hospitality, with spacious interiors that evolve with the rhythm of the seasons. On the ground floor, you will find the 17th-century Stüa (1579), entirely in wood, the Senator’s Grand Kitchen with its imposing stone fireplace, and the Green Salon overlooking the loggia. It features three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The Fresco Rooms (May – September)
A true “livable museum” on the first floor. To preserve the precious 16th-century fresco cycles, these rooms do not have artificial heating, offering natural coolness and a timeless summer experience (Prestige configuration).
The Granary
A characterful apartment created from the former granary, connected to the main building by a glorietta spanning the street. An independent unit with contemporary design, featuring a loggia overlooking the mountains and air conditioning.
Location: Among Heroic Vineyards and Valley Trails
Located in the heart of Ponte in Valtellina—a village that has preserved its medieval and Renaissance character—the Palazzo is the perfect starting point to explore a unique territory:
The Terraced Vineyards Route (La Via dei Terrazzamenti)
A cycling and walking route that crosses the towns of the mid and lower valley at elevations between 300 and 700 meters. The best way to admire dry-stone walls (UNESCO World Heritage), vineyards, and ancient churches scattered along the Rhaetian slope.
The Sentiero Valtellina
Over 100 km of cycling and walking paths along the Adda River. A flat, safe route—ideal for families—that allows you to immerse yourself in the valley’s natural landscape.
The Bernina Red Train (UNESCO)
A short distance away for an unforgettable journey toward Swiss glaciers and St. Moritz.
Alps and Lakes
Lake Como can be reached in less than an hour, as well as some of the most famous Alpine passes. For sports enthusiasts, the Adda River offers rafting, while alpine streams are perfect for sport fishing.
Skiing and Thermal Baths
Just 20 minutes from the ski resorts of Aprica and Valmalenco, and close to the ancient thermal baths of Bormio.
Guest Notes
