MARGHERITA APARTMENT

Apartment in historic village of Leventina (Margherita Apartment)

Experiencing the mountains while staying in a historic village, where stone and wood are the protagonists, is a wish you can fulfill at MARGHERITA APARTMENT!

This lovely apartment, set inside a typical Leventina Valley house, is located in Osco, a village that has stood still in time, surrounded by lush green meadows, grazing cows, and majestic peaks that offer breathtaking views.

The living room welcomes you with a comfortable sofa, which becomes a double bed for the night (Please note: The sofa bed will not be prepared as a bed for your arrival, as we deem it proper to use it as a sofa during the day. You will find the bed linen, pillows and blankets in the wardrobe/shelf closest to the sofa.), where you can watch a movie or chat and read after a day of hiking. Next to it, there is the dining area with a table for 4 persons and the wooden kitchen, complete with everything you need to prepare packed lunches for trips and dinners for relaxing evenings.

The bedroom has two single beds, joined for couples, and a large closet for storing vacation wardrobes. A bathroom with shower completes the apartment.

Quality bedding, towels and a courtesy kit are provided. 

We also leave a gift basket with some necessary items for your first breakfast.

Free Wi-Fi available. 

Smoking is strictly prohibited. 

Any commercial activity within the apartment is prohibited.

The house does not have private parking, but parking is available in Osco's free public parking lots.
