The 4 room Rustico holiday house is on the edge of Brione as one heads towards Sonogno. Uninterrupted panoramic views of the Verzasca valley, waterfalls and only a 5 minute walk through natural woodlands to the Verzasca River. The Rustico "Fontanella" has been completely transformed to a tasteful, modern, comfortable Holiday House . The interior blends harmoniously the old with the new in a private and comfortable manner. Spring fed water better than the bottled variety, is supplied to every tap. A lockup Garage is also provided for our guest. Casa Fontanella has 2 bedrooms, a living room with a sofa bed, TV/DVD/CD and a fireplace, open plan kitchen with dining area, a bathroom. A washing machine and ironing facilities are also available. Floorheating in all rooms. You have access to garden and a balcony.

Stone walkways and trails lead you to streams, rivers, waterfalls, lakes and the higher alps. Either taking the year round regular Bus (200m) or driving one can find attractions like the Valley historical museum (Sonogno), Ancient Roman bridge (Lavertezzo), GoldenEye 007 Bungy Jumping and viewpoint (Verzasca Dam), many specialty regional culinary eating places along the length of the Verzasca Valley or within 30mins the shopping, cultural, arts and entertainment hubs of Locarno and Ascona.
