Cardada is the ideal place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life due to its idyllic natural landscape. Up here, you will be surprised with a party for your mouth.

In Restaurant Colmanicchio it is given a wide importance to a seasonal offer besides the fix menu, using regional and possibly biologic products. Home-made pasta, local specialties, fresh cheese and herbs from our vegetable garden or the water from the source of Cardada. 

We offer 7 stylish rooms – 4 SUPERIOR, 2 DOUBLE and 1 SINGLE ROOM – all with shower and toilet, WLAN, balcony or terrace and a gorgeous view on Lake Maggiore and the impressive mountain range. We can accommodate 13 persons and have the possibility to add further beds.We are proud of being able to welcoming you at 1360 m above sea level with an extraordinary comfort: your trip to our paradise will be a heavenly experience. In our SEMINAR ROOM you’ll find the ideal inspiring atmosphere where to find creative solutions.
