Vintage-style vacation home with a view of the Centovalli (LA CANONICA)
LA CANONICA di Camedo is a charming vacation home created by giving new life to a priest's former rectory ("La Canonica," in Italian), overlooking the breathtaking beauty of the Centovalli. Many furnishings have been maintained and enhanced by the style of the house, to preserve its unique character and history.
The living room is original and full of character: it opens onto the first-floor balcony with a small table and chairs to have a cool drink in summer while enjoying the landscape in any season. For fun afternoons and evenings with friends, you will find card and board games and more in the closet. In winter, warm up with the large wood stove.
The kitchen has all the comforts for a long vacation, induction hob and new appliances for cooking like at home, and a beautiful wood stove.

The twin room with two single beds offers the same extraordinary view of the valley as the master bedroom and opens onto the balcony on the second floor.
