About this property

GOATS AND CABBAGES FAMILY FARM

Immersed in the nature of the northern slope of the M. Sasso del ferro, in an isolated position at 750 m above sea level, is the Capre e cabbage farm and farmhouse which raises forty chamois goats and produces fresh and aged cheeses with raw milk. In a rural context, far from the chaos but only 20 minutes from Laveno Mombello on Lake Maggiore, where you can find peace and contact with animals and traditions, we offer our guests an independent apartment of about 40 square meters just renovated, with equipped kitchen, oven, fridge, with large windows with magnificent views of the surrounding mountains, solid larch flooring and wood stove. The farmhouse can be REACHED ONLY BY CAR, not by public transport, from the traffic light of Cittiglio (VA) taking the SP8 which goes up to Vararo in 7 km (about 15 min). With departure on foot from our accommodation you can make various excursions to the surrounding mountains. Numerous other protected areas within 30km.
The apartment is on the ground floor, under our house and next to the milk processing laboratory. In fact, the Goats and cabbage farm has been breeding goats of the chamois breed of the Alps since 2002 and produces fresh and mature raw milk cheeses. While guaranteeing their privacy, guests will therefore find themselves in a rural context and, if they wish, they will also be able to observe the different phases of agricultural activity or, with just two steps, be in the middle of the woods. During the summer there is also an outdoor area with table and chairs for open air moments of relaxation. From March to October guests can also choose to have breakfast by coming to the barn to have the milk directly milked in the cup or buy our dairy products in the store adjacent to the apartment. On holidays it is also possible to have lunch in our family farm. Guests who want to prepare themselves to eat in the kitchen at their disposal in the apartment must bear in mind that apart from our products described above, the closest grocery stores and supermarkets are in Cittiglio (7km away
/15 minutes).
By choice, the apartment does not have a television, but there is a selection of books, board games and the possibility of consulting guides, maps and brochures to find out about the main tourist attractions nearby.
Guest access
The apartment has independent access and guests will be provided with keys.
In the last 500 m that lead to the farm there is a dirt road but easily passable by all cars at moderate speed. A parking lot will be available for guests on the farm.

Other things to highlight
Both in the management of the house and the farm we are very attentive to the environment, we have built the buildings with solutions suitable for energy saving (coat, low emission double-glazing, etc.), we have hot water from solar thermal and we heat with stoves at high-performance wood and local wood. .
We therefore also ask guests to avoid unnecessary waste of water and energy and to correctly carry out separate waste collection.

Ort der Entspannung
ein super ruhiges Anwesen und Erholung pur. Die Anfahrt war etwas knifflig und kurvig und eng. Super auch das Restaurant in der Nähe, was uns Chiara vorbestellt hat. Einfach rundum bestens.

Bergpanorama als Guten-Morgen-Gruß
Eine tolle Wohnung in einer wunderbaren Umgebung! Ruhig in den Bergen gelegen schaut man morgens beim Aufwachen auch auf diese. Man kann sich hoch über dem Trubel und der Hitze am See entspannen und viele Ausflüge in die Gegend machen. Die Straße, die zum Haus führt, ist zugegebenermaßen nichts für ängstliche Autofahrer oder große Autos, da sie sehr eng und kurvig ist. Die Wohnung an sich ist es aber wert, sie zu fahren. Der kleine Ziegenhof macht absolutes Urlaubsgefühl, wenn man Tiere und die Natur mag. Die Ziegen sind quasi nebenan und man kann die köstlichen Produkte aus Ziegenmilch konsumieren, die in liebevoller Handarbeit von den Inhabern hergestellt werden. Chiara und Renato sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit, geben gern Tipps für Ausflüge und erzählen vom Landleben in den Bergen. Das Apartment selbst ist mit absolut allem ausgestattet, was man braucht und super sauber. Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt!

Ein perfekter Urlaub :-) :-)
Wir haben spontan gebucht und einen absoluten Glückstreffer gelandet. Die ruhig gelegene Unterkunft ist klasse, die Umgebung ein Traum. Wir bekamen von unserer netten Gastgeberfamilie super Tipps für die Gegend, die wir mit dem Motorrad "erfahren" haben. Die Versorgung mit frischen Ziegenprodukten von der Farm war hervorragend. Der Abschied fiel uns sehr schwer... wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Claudi & Volker

Schöne und ruhige Ferienwohnung
Die Wohnung ist abseits von allem Trubel : Ideal zum Abschalten und Natur pur. Die Vermieter sind total nett und haben sich sehr um ihre Gäste gekümmert. Es hat an nichts gefehlt und sie verwöhnten uns mit ihren leckeren Produkten. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt!
