Corte di Brenta

ENGLISH:My name is Arend, I'm a mosaic artist with a particular idea about living with art. I bring art and living together under the same roof. This idea is what I call "Home Gallery", which is opened to artists, travellers, open-minded and free-spirited people. So, if you would like to join to a more creative side of living than please come for a visit!Here, in the Guest House, we have two different setup sleeping styles. One is a big room with a queens size bed suitable for a couple and has an extra bed for a couple with a child. The room has a balcony overlooking the main courtyard. The second is a shared room with one bunk bed and two single beds all in one big room with a balcony on the backyard garden, with also a mountain view. Here, in the main house, we have two shared bathrooms: one upstairs with a bath and one downstairs with a shower.We have a lovely permaculture garden for our guests to sit, relax, and admire the mountain landscape. Here, we organize many events, such as meditation, yoga and dance. We have two healing areas: one outside and the other inside with massage therapists that live in the house. So, bodywork with different treatments is always available. There is also an opportunity to use the mosaic and ceramic atelier. We can also organize for you hiking and horse back-riding trips if you like. If you want to be indipendent, you can rent a little house composed by two floors.  The ground floor has a kitchen and an eating-space plus bathroom and the first floor has a bedroom with a double bed and a little couch, which can be transformed into a single bed. The house is located in a court of the 17th century in Brenta (VA), only 33 km far from Lugano, 75 km far from Milan and only 5 km far from the beautiful Lake Maggiore.Closeby there is an interesting secondhandmarket as well as an organicshop, a pizzeria, kiosk.The nearest train station is Cittiglio on the line Milano Cadorna - Laveno Mombello and is only 1 km far.Otherwise the train station Laveno of the line Bellinzona (CH) - Malpensa airport. Also if you need help from the trainstation getting here to the main house, please feel free to ask. It would be our pleasure.Here at "La Corte di Brenta" we try to live by the saying: "Be the change you want to see in the world."Gandhi
