Description
At the entrance of the ValGrande National Park, in the Alpe Cavallotti area at 1,300 meters, a fully renovated former refuge provides a peaceful retreat.
The property spans two levels: the ground floor features a living area with a kitchen, dining room, a spacious lounge (relaxation area), and a bathroom (complete with shower); on the upper floor, there is the sleeping area with bedrooms (both double and matrimonial) and a second bathroom (also equipped with a shower).
Outside, there is a large terrace where guests can enjoy breakfast or relax in the sun, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature, nestled within a vast private park filled with numerous pine, larch, and ancient beech trees.
Hot water is generated by a wood-burning stove fueled by timber sourced from local forests, while electricity is produced using solar panels and stored in batteries.
The property serves as an excellent base for various trekking adventures in the ValGrande National Park. Additionally, activities such as mountain biking, paragliding (with a take-off point just 50 meters away), or simply unwinding can be enjoyed.
Nearby attractions include a ZIP-LINE, Lake Maggiore (25 minutes to Verbania) with the Borromean Islands and the Gardens of Villa Taranto, along with many other points of interest.
The B&B is accessible by car from Verbania, approximately a 25-minute drive to Cappella Fina, the last stop for vehicles, followed by a 10-minute walk along a dirt road.
The nearest village is Miazzina (15 minutes away), which has a small grocery store, a newsstand, a tobacco shop, and a couple of restaurants.
Just above Miazzina, at Alpe Pala, approximately 10 minutes from Alpe Cavallotti, there is a traditional restaurant called La Baita.
Friendly and well-behaved dogs are welcome at the property.

Everything was great. Very pleasant stay with charming hosts in a rejuvenating place. You can feel that the house has a history, it's maintained with love for the place. Breakfast could have been more complete. Delicious dinners with homemade products.

Excellent address that we highly recommend! The location is superb, mountain landscape above Lake Maggiore, magnificent panorama! The place is extremely quiet as cars must remain in a parking lot located a 10-minute walk from the house. The house is completely renovated, very pleasant. Our hosts Cristina and Renato welcomed our large family (we have 4 children) "like at home" with a lot of kindness, attention, while giving us great freedom. Note: two delicious and local dinners prepared with garden products, abundant and very good breakfasts. In short, this stay exceeded our expectations, both for the setting and for the welcome! Cristina and Renato, this project is beautiful and has opened a beautiful window to a corner of paradise! Your commitment is important, but worth it! Good continuation!

Beautiful structure managed by very simple, discreet and above all no-frills people. The price, in my opinion, is a bit excessive as in the beautiful structure the bathrooms are shared and the breakfast is ordinary. I imagine it's a high season price, being August, so it's understandable.

Buongiorno Massimo, Mi dispiace che la colazione, a differenza degli altri nostri ospiti, non sia stata di suo gradimento o comunque non all'altezza delle sue aspettative. Al fine di poter soddisfare tutti i nostri clienti sarei lieta potesse indicarmi cosa potrei aggiungere o migliorare tenendo conto che al momento la colazione prevede qualsiasi tipo di bevanda calda o fredda, musli, corn flackes, yogurt, succhi, spremute, crostata fatta in casa, fette e pane biscottato al forno, biscotti marmellate e frutta. La ringrazio anticipatamente per eventuali suggerimenti. Cordiali saluti Cristina Alpe Cavallotti.

Do you know when you sleep as guests at a friend's house? Well, that's exactly it. Genuine kindness, the kind of old times, if you know what I mean. If you love, like us, the simple life, made of good things, then this is probably the right place. 'The soul unfolds itself,' wrote Dante... A hug, Melo & Fede.

My partner and I felt perfectly at home in this paradisiacal place, completely immersed in nature, with a breathtaking view. Welcoming structure, clean and very courteous and helpful managers. In the end, we also dined together, exquisitely, by candlelight, with local products. We will definitely come back with our friends, because a place so beautiful and that works with the ethics of sustainability must absolutely be known by everyone. Thank you infinitely. Chiara and Mauro.

Cristina and Renato are exquisite people, they welcomed us in this corner of paradise that Cristina's family has owned since 1953, expertly restored with taste. We ferried from Laveno to Intra and in less than half an hour we arrived at the parking lot. Renato's clear directions allowed us to reach Alpe Cavallotti in a few minutes of walking (comfortable shoes and backpacks). Spotless and strategically located at the gates of Val Grande, overlooking the lakes at 1300 meters, you can't ask for more! We will definitely come back and recommend it to friends. Thank you!

My stay at B&B Alpe Cavallotti exceeded my expectations. After parking the car in a convenient area adjacent to a small chapel, I walked through the woods on an easy and gently sloping dirt road that led me to my destination in just 10 minutes. The former refuge is a sunny, solid, clean and well-maintained building both on the outside and inside, surrounded by a large garden and pine forest. The hosts welcomed me with remarkable friendliness and kindness, making me feel truly comfortable. I stayed in the blue room which, like the other rooms, is tastefully and meticulously furnished. Comfortable bed and pillow. From the window, you can enjoy the open view of the valley that overlooks Lake Maggiore. Comfortable bathroom, abundant water. Varied and healthy breakfast served on a sunny terrace surrounded by greenery and precious silence. I consider it an ideal place for solo travelers, families, groups of friends, and couples. In short.. anyone with a desire or need for well-being, beauty, and good energy.

What a wonder, I can't find other words to describe this comfortable Bed and Breakfast located above Miazzina, at the doors of Val Grande. The structure is very beautiful, tastefully decorated, and I would say with a lot of love, the location is unique with an incredible 360-degree view of lakes and mountains. We took beautiful walks and enjoyed moments of authentic relaxation, thanks also to the availability of Cristina and Renato, ready to meet our every need. I think we will come back because it is a magical place where you really manage to unwind and find serenity, in short, an excellent stress reliever.

Fleeing the city, you arrive at Alpe Cavallotti, a magical place overlooking Val Grande. Cristina and Renato welcome us with warmth and kindness, you immediately feel at ease, the refuge is very beautiful, the spaces well-kept and comfortable. Renato explains to us that from here we can go on various excursions, from a simple walk to a more challenging trek, and provides us with all the explanations. Comfortably seated on the beautiful terrace, where Cristina pampers us with a small snack. We spend two splendid days, on the way back home we are already thinking about a next time at Alpe.
