Philosophy

We are cheerful, enthusiastic hosts who are convinced that in today’s world, it is more important than ever to offer a place of retreat that is looked after with care and affection.

Make yourself at home and enjoy your stay with us.
Set aside some time for yourself and appreciate the “lightness of being”!

The Villa Novecento is the ideal place if you want to get away from it all for a few days and live life at your own pace.

We do our utmost to minimise our impact on nature and to cause as little demage to the environment as possible. We source all our foodstuffs from organic, fair-trade sources, via longstanding, trusted local partners.

We only use environmentally-friendly, biodegradable cleaning products. We do not use any pesticides, insecticides or artificial fertilisers in our gardens.

I take deligth in offering you a wide variety of home-made vegetarian and vegan delicacies. For me, cooking and eating healthy dishes is one of life’s great pleasures.
Try the jam from grapes grown in our pergola, preparded with a lot of love and only a small amount of sugar. Taste the fresh goat’s cream cheese from the Maggia valley, the oriental chickpea dip, and many more dishes.

Make the most of our lavish organic breakfast buffet, witch is served in the breakfast room by a cosy fire or, in good weather, in the garden.
