Historic residence in the heart of the Alps - Palazzo Guicciardi

Palazzo Guicciardi: Living twelve centuries of Valtellina history

"Stepping across the threshold of Palazzo Guicciardi means entering an indissoluble bond with the territory."

Owned and preserved by our family, present in Ponte since 773 AD (when our ancestor Guicciardo settled here after crossing the Alps following Charlemagne), this noble residence, documented since 1548, has been restored to its former glory through careful conservative restoration. Today, it is an exceptional retreat where modern comfort meets authentic art.

The Property: The Noble Wing
This reservation offers the exclusive use of the Noble Wing of the Palazzo, the historical heart of our hospitality, ideal for accommodating up to 5 guests. On the ground floor, you will find spacious and textured rooms:

The 1579 Stüa: Entirely paneled in ancient wood, it is a warm and secluded space, ideal for resting.

The Great Kitchen: Featuring a monumental fireplace.

The Green Parlor: A bright room overlooking the loggia.

The Noble Wing features a total of three bedrooms: the Senator's room, a double bedroom with painted ceilings and wall canvases; a single room overlooking the ancient wine-press courtyard and the garden; a twin room, which can also be set up with a double bed, overlooking the garden and the mountains; and two bathrooms.

(Note: The Palazzo Guicciardi complex also includes the "Il Granaio" annex and the monumental "Fresco Rooms" on the upper floor. If your group is larger than 5 people and you wish to rent the entire residence or add beds, we invite you to look for our dedicated listings on this portal or to contact us).

Location: Between Heroic Vineyards and Alpine Trails
Located in the heart of Ponte in Valtellina, a village that has perfectly preserved its medieval and Renaissance footprint, the Palazzo is the ideal starting point to discover a unique territory:

Via dei Terrazzamenti (Terrace Way): A cycling and walking path through the middle and lower valley at an altitude between 300 and 700 meters. It is the best way to admire the ancient dry-stone walls (UNESCO World Heritage), the vineyards, and the historic churches dotting the Rhaetian slope.

Sentiero Valtellina: Over 100 km of cycling path along the Adda River. A flat and safe itinerary, ideal for families, allowing you to immerse yourself in the valley's nature.

The Bernina Red Train (UNESCO): Just a short distance away, for an unforgettable journey toward the Swiss glaciers and St. Moritz.

Alps & Lakes: Lake Como is reachable in less than an hour, as are the most famous Alpine passes. For sports enthusiasts, the Adda River offers rafting, while the Alpine streams are ideal for sport fishing.

Ski & Spa: Only 20 minutes from the ski resorts of Aprica and Valmalenco, and close to the millenary thermal baths of Bormio.

Guest Notes:

Outdoor Spaces: Private courtyards, the ancient wine-press porch, and a secret garden equipped with a barbecue, a pergola, and a table for al fresco dining.

Family Friendly: In the Palazzo, we provide a complimentary crib and high chair upon request.

Accessibility: Due to the historic nature of this 16th-century building, there are stone stairs and passages that are not suitable for guests with limited mobility.
