There is a magical place between earth and sky, nestled in unspoiled nature.

 

High above in the fairytale Val Capriasca, amidst the peatlands off Gola di Lago, a thousand meters up, bathed in sunlight and radiant sunrises, surrounded by ancient meadows, chestnut groves and birch forests.

 

Above the valley, with open view of the Denti della Vecchia mountains, stand traditional old alpine stone houses in an area known as Portico

 

Fresh air fills this oasis of breath and tranquillity - a retreat just minutes from the city of Lugano.

 

Days unfold through simple, grounding activities: tending the garden, gathering firewood, cooking, meditating, making music.
