Bridge in the sky in Val Tartano
The highest suspension bridge in Europe is located in Valtellina, on the Orobic side opposite Rustico Vigna: an incredible Tibetan bridge in the middle of the mountains, at a height of over 140 metres.
Rustico Vigna is a unique holiday home: a picturesque chalet in the vineyards of Valtellina, in an incomparable position in the mountains of the province of Sondrio, on the sunny side of the Costiera dei Cech, with a view of the entire valley below from Morbegno to Lake Como.
The holiday home in the vineyards is the ideal solution for a stay of tranquillity and relaxation, thanks to the spectacular panoramic outdoor swimming pool with hydro-massage, but also an excellent starting point for exploring the Valtellina in spring, summer and autumn, with nature walks, activities in the surrounding area and good food.
Rustico Vigna is the result of the recovery of an ancient ruin on a plot of land on the terraces of the Valtellina, worked with toil and sweat by our ancestors. The structure has been entirely renovated using natural materials typical of rural constructions of the past, recovering wood from existing structures and using local stone. Rustico Vigna is born from the past but looks to modernity; today it is in fact equipped with photovoltaic and thermal solar panels for the production of energy from renewable sources.
The interior of the Rustico Vigna is a two-storey chalet with a total area of 65 m2 : on the ground floor there is a large living area with kitchen, table and sofa, a storage room and a laundry room; on the upper floor there is a double bedroom with balcony, a bedroom with a raised single bed and a pull-out bed for 1-2 persons, a bathroom with shower, toilet, stone sink and bidet.
The house has 5 beds + 1 cot for children (up to 2 years) and is an ideal solution for families, couples or small groups.
The presence of antique wood in walls, ceilings and floors embellishes the environment and conveys an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality, but the main feature is certainly the large stone incorporated in the building, an erratic granite boulder from the head of Val Masino and transported here by the action of the glaciers.
The outdoor space at Rustico Vigna, surrounded by rows of vines, is designed for total relaxation in maximum privacy. Dominating the scene is the large outdoor swimming pool with a view of the Alpine peaks and the valley, perfectly set in the natural surroundings, among the trees and the sounds of the mountains that fill the air with peace and serenity.
The highest suspension bridge in Europe is located in Valtellina, on the Orobic side opposite Rustico Vigna: an incredible Tibetan bridge in the middle of the mountains, at a height of over 140 metres.
A few kilometres away, the mountain peaks are reflected in the waters of Lake Como, with its beaches, water sports and picture-postcard villages: Varenna, Gravedona, Bellagio, Menaggio.
The natural wonders of the mountains in two of Valtellina’s most beautiful valleys: Val Masino with the Val di Mello nature reserve, a climbers’ paradise, and Valgerola with its peaks, right opposite Rustico Vigna.
The Rhaetian side of the lower Valtellina on which Rustico Vigna lies, sun-kissed even in the coldest months, is a mine full of treasures to be discovered, not just peaks to be reached, such as the ancient Domofole Castle.
We are in the far north of Lombardy, on the border with verdant Switzerland: getting to St. Moritz is easy, from the Maloja Pass via Valchiavenna or on board the famous Bernina Red Train.
Continuing beyond Sondrio, you arrive in the upper Valtellina, where Alpine nature provides everything you need for any mountain activity: trekking, cycling and mountain biking, walking, sports and thermal waters.
Beautiful house but even exceptional outdoor spaces. The interior is very cosy and there is everything you need, even the kitchen is well equipped, not the usual two pots. Beautiful view over the valley.
For those who have difficulty walking, it is important to know that there are some steps in the middle of the vineyard to access the house. The path is not strenuous, indeed impressive, but can be an impediment for some.
It is about 10 minutes by car from Morbegno.
Everything perfect, we will definitely be back

We spent a wonderful week in this fantastic house. It was perfect for us: quiet, secluded, in the vineyard, with private pool, super nice hosts (thanks for the drinks, vegetables…); the outdoor kitchen was great – we used it every day. Ideal for hiking and cycling. We would love to come back!
