Villa Edera, Auressio

The late 19th century Villa Edera is the jewel sitting at the entrance to one of Switzerland's wildest valleys, Valle Onsernone, hidden between Valle Maggia and Centovalli. Long a well-kept secret, Valle Onsernone is on track to become the heart of Switzerland's second-ever National Park.

The Villa was renovated in the 1990s to accommodate school groups, and redecorated in 2017 to accommodate individual tourists. It sleeps up to 32 people in an affordable mix of dorm rooms, single rooms, and double rooms. The views from its spacious, well-positioned garden are legendary.

Guests are welcome to use the fantastic modern kitchen, and the fabulous Ristorante La Pergola is just next door!
