Relais Villa Brioschi

Set in the Sondrio Pass, this Art Nouveau house offers unique rooms with flat-screen satellite TV and free Wi-Fi. Aprica town centre is next door and parking is free.

Dating back to the 1900s, Relais Villa Brioschi was a favourite retreat of Nobel Prize winner Camillo Golgi. The property retains original features such as fireplaces and characteristic tiled floors.

All elegant rooms come with a minibar and private bathroom. Some rooms offer a wooden balcony and a hot tub.

Breakfast at the Brioschi is buffet style, and is served in the dining room with its hand-painted ceiling and views of the surrounding mountains.

In the winter, ski storage is provided. The Baradello slopes are just 50 metres away.

Buses to Tresenda Train Station leave from Aprica centre, a 10-minute walk away. Lake Como is 70 km away, and Milan can be reached in under 3 hours by car.
