Ratings
The Roccolo is idyllically situated in the middle of the vineyards of Mendrisiotto. Not too far from the center, but far enough to enjoy a time out far from the daily routine. The accommodation is very simple, but has the typical Ticino charm and is equipped with everything you need for a stay. I was happy to find the coffee pot filled with ground coffee to prepare my mocha in the morning, and also to find the most important spices for cooking. I could work undisturbed on the computer, leaving the windows open and enjoying the great view into the distance from time to time. My parents were delighted with the location, which allowed them to explore the surrounding area, and with the outdoor terrace, where they could relax when they returned in the evening. The hosts were very welcoming to us. Grazia had some good tips for us on what to do in the area and kindly suggested a wine and pizza tasting. Thank you very much, we would love to come back.
First impression charming, beautiful from the outside, second impression unfortunately not satisfactory. The lower floor has moldy walls and it smelled of chemicals. The upper floor has a nice view, but you can only get to the attic with a ladder that is not fixed. When we were surprised by scorpions in the house in the evening, in addition to butterflies and insects, we cut short our stay. After a long discussion, we have at least half refunded.
Living in the roccolo ticinese is special! My wife and I love to visit the cultural and scenic beauties of southern Ticino. The location of the accommodation is perfect for this. On the small balcony you can end the day with a glass of Merlot while enjoying the view over the southernmost region of Switzerland. It is surprisingly quiet here in the vineyard of Grazia and Luciano Cavallini, so that the chirping of the birds is constantly present as accompanying music and now and then one is visited by a shy deer. From several church towers you can hear the typical, somewhat melancholic bell ringing of Ticino.
Grazia and Luciano Cavallini are very friendly and everything works out perfectly. We have already booked again.
