Villa Cervo - der Welt entflohen ...

Italy-22010 Comer See

This cabin offers 'harmony with nature' for the advanced adventurer (literally! 😊): ‼️ Accessible only on foot: it is an 1,100-meter ascent (from 600m to 1,700m) taking approximately 3.5 to 4 hours. If you prefer not to drive the 3.5 km gravel road to the parking area, please add another 45–60 minutes of walking time. The trail to the cabin includes steep and narrow sections, though no exposed ledges. Hiking boots are required. Everything you find here was either carried up on someone's back or flown in by helicopter (€40 per minute plus flight time). The cabin is situated with three others on a small plateau, offering views of the surrounding mountains and a glimpse of Lake Como. Three mountain lakes are within a few hours' reach: Lago di Ledú – approx. 2 hours away according to Komoot (overnight stays in the bivouac possible). Lago di Cavrig – 1 hour 40 mins (according to Komoot). And Lago di Darengo – a good 3 hours away (overnight stays at Rifugio Capanna Como possible). Behind the 'Villa Cervo' cluster, there is a stream perfect for cooling off in the summer. The 'Villa Cervo' mountain hut is exclusively yours during your stay—no other guests will join you. However, locals may occasionally stay in the neighboring huts, so I cannot guarantee absolute solitude. Please note: There is no toilet, no shower, and no electricity. What you will find: - 6 sleeping spots (2 bunk beds and 2 single beds) - Wood-burning stove - Fireplace - Gas cooker - Mountain spring water - Mobile reception - Deer - Goats - Horses The return to civilization takes about 2 to 2.5 hours (on foot). A further 3.5 km, which can be driven on an unpaved road, leads to the nearest mountain village.

Anja about the place

Back-to-basics living in the heart of nature.
"In harmony with nature" for the connoisseur
Maybe just do NOTHING for once, and simply BE there.

Camp overview & facilities

Notes on the facilities

The cabin sleeps 6 people, with 2 bunk beds and 2 loungers (which can also be placed outside). It features a wood-burning stove for heating and cooking, an open fireplace for cooking, and a camping stove. In the center of the cabin, there is a table with 4 chairs. Pots, pans, crockery, cutlery, glasses, bowls, and an Italian 'Moka' coffee maker are all provided. Water: Cold water is available from a pipe sourced from a mountain stream, located about 20m from Villa Cervo in front of the first cabin of the cluster and at the neighboring hut (we kindly ask for respectful use). Hot water is only available by heating it on the stove or over the fire. Shower: None (a camping shower is provided). Toilet: None (in keeping with the authentic mountain experience, you dig a small hole at a sufficient distance from the cabin and cover it up afterwards—experienced hikers and mountaineers know the drill 😊. If you need more details on this, please just ask). Firewood for the stove or fireplace must be chopped by guests. A saw, splitting axe, and a pack frame for carrying wood are provided. What you need to bring: Sleeping bag, bed sheet, towel, tea towel, food supplies, and—to be on the safe side—one gas cartridge and your personal essentials. In September 2025, a dedicated group of 4-6 people worked hard to restore the cabin to good condition. Everything you see was either carried up on someone's back or flown in by helicopter (€40 per minute plus flight time). Villa Cervo is now only available to guests who are willing to actively support the preservation and upkeep of the cabin.
