About this property

Holidays in paradise - in a noble Ticino country house!

You get excited about the breath of history - back to the 16th Century? But you don't want miss modern comfort? - Do you enjoy the antique interior and modern design, with tasteful furnishings and personal flair? - Do you love untouched nature as well as detour into a lively cultural scene with internationally renowned music, film and art? Are you a eternal tough boy scout, a timeless graceful Indianersquaw, do you like to ride horses or play golf? Do you enjoy whitewater and equally smiling lakes? Do you like to visit tropical gardens, walk through quiet chestnut forests and overcome heroically even rough mountains? - Instead of 'Either or', select 'Both as well as'! - Then you are right in our renovated farmhouse from 1522 in the legendary Maggiatal - with a waterfall right outside the door and sandy beaches also completely for you alone. With romantic evenings at the Kaminfeuer in the spacious Ticino country house! You do not need to fear regentage too, our library is a treasury of the mind, for literary discoveries, you will find everything except banal boredom! Keep in mind, in Ticino is always spring, you enjoy a mild climate as on the Côte d'Azur. In winter you are on the slopes in half an hour. Our ski mountains are higher than most peaks in Austria and Germany. In the evening, get off the heavy footwear and warm your feet on the heated floor. So this is your holiday happiness on earth. But before you, we must warn you: there is a great danger that you will fall in love with us forever!

Stimmungsvolles Bijou mit Geschichte und Geschichten
Für ein verlängertes Wochenende durften wir Gäste bei Andy sein und fielen aus der Hektik des Alltags hinein in dieses wunderschöne warme Nest mit seiner Fülle an liebevollen Details. Der Gastgeber selbst ist ausserordentlich aufmerksam und gibt gerne den ein oder anderen Tipp für mögliche Touren. Wer die Patina eines ehrwürdigen Gebäudes zu schätzen weiss und sie der seelenlosen Glattheit vieler Ferienwohnungen vorzieht, der wird hier sicher glücklich werden. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

A place to stay, like no other!
This old building is a really unique place to stay. The best option for those who love to be surprised by the original decoration of a artists home. For people capable to appreciate the charm of a really old house, without having to give in on 20 century comfort and a perfect basecamp for those who want to discover the magical Vallemaggia..

Hervorragendes Ambiente
Wir, zwei Personen, haben uns in dieser geschichtsträchtigen Wohnung ausgesprochen wohl gefühlt; so gerne wäre ich noch ein paar Tage geblieben, so wohltuend ist dieser atmosphärisch einmalige Ort mit der wirklich beeindruckenden Bibliothek, die ein enormes Wissen bereithält und die einem den Aufenthalt viel zu kurzweilig erscheinen lässt. Die Ruhe vor Ort schenkt einem tiefen erholsamen Schlaf und das Frühstück draußen, in geborgener, idyllischer Heimeligkeit und zugleich weisheitsträchtiger Umgebung im Innenhof, erfüllt vollkommen den Wunsch nach Regeneration von Geist, Seele und Körper. Herr Eglin ist ein wundervoller Gastgeber, voller farbiger und weltoffener Facetten, die sich bei Gesprächen und Erzählungen offenbarten und einen aufhorchen ließen, schenkt er doch den Eindruck eines ganz besonderen (strahlenden) Menschen. Alles in allem ein toller Aufenthalt, mit großer Lust, diesen Ort noch einmal besuchen zu können/dürfen.

About the host

Hosted by Andy Aguirre Eglin

Host profile image
Usually a retired teacher travels all around the world! Instead my mother created an unique place in the world for travelers from all around the world. They visit our beautiful land house plenty of history and arts. They enjoy the wild, magic nature just around the corner. And most of our guests always return. You will get in love too!

Why they chose this property

"Reach the land of your desire." Rainer Maria Rilke

"In an old house you may forget about time and meet eternity in its stead. The presence of history has nothing to do with honour of fame, but with respect for generations of people with their modest but true lives. Their dignity, their tears and laughters are engraved on the walls."

Hermann Hesse
