Description

Valmalencoalpina® was established in 2004 as a result of Ivan's visionary approach, transforming his love for the mountains into a profession as an Alpine Guide.

For two decades, Ivan has accompanied clients to mountainous destinations all around the world.

Driven by this passion, the idea of creating an authentic and welcoming place in Caspoggio was born.

With great care, Ivan adapted his uncle's house in the historic center of the village to serve as a hospitable retreat.

The meticulous attention to detail, overseen by his brother and artist Michele, has made this house truly unique. A stay in our B&B promises to be a magical experience.

Our house dates back to the early 1600s, and we have made every effort to preserve its original architectural features.

Stone and wood are the predominant elements in our restoration project.

The size of the structure is in harmony with the historical context, allowing you to experience the intimacy of mountain life from a bygone era.

The old district of "Bergum" will embrace you, and our house will serve as your splendid refuge.

Hey from Ivan

Member since June 2023 | 5,205 hits

I am Ivan,
Alpine Guide of Valmalenco, Mountain Rescue Technician and Nurse.

In 2004 I founded Valmalencoalpina®, a wonderful reality that has made me and my clients travel all over the world and in our beautiful mountains.

With my family 2 years ago we started this project to redevelop the beautiful little house in the centre of Caspoggio and thus our B&B was born.

The management is assisted by my family members with the same passion and dedication.

In addition to the aesthetic beauty of the house and our rooms, we would like to convey the energy of our welcome.

Area city center

Our B&B is located in the ancient contrada 'ai Bergum' in the historic centre of Caspoggio.
It is one of the earliest settlements in our pleasant village, where the houses are set one on top of the other according to the ancient architectural structure.
We have also built a small wellness centre in the same style.

We are 100 m from car parks and the main activities, which you can easily reach on foot.

Our house also has a small private garden as a small courtyard.

Wonderful place to relax.

Beautiful structure recently built that smells of wood and natural aromas. The room is really beautiful and well structured. Large and complete bathroom. The breakfast must say rich and well presented, with the offer of additional dishes in addition to those displayed. The manager always available and of exquisite courtesy. A place to recommend and enjoy fully with the splendid scenarios of the valley. I will definitely come back!

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno Alessandro grazie mille per la vostra recensione. Ho visto un giudizio non molto soddisfacente circa il rapporto qualità prezzo e in merito alla colazione. Per la colazione mi piacerebbe chiedervi cortesemente in cosa possiamo migliorare così che ci si possa adeguare alle esigenze dei nostri ospiti. Per quanto riguarda la qualità prezzo la nostra struttura costa circa 15-20€ in più a notte rispetto alle strutture presenti in zona la maggior parte delle quali vecchie di 50 anni e con una gestione meno attenta. Noi abbiamo fatto anche una scelta di tipo ecologico sia nella ristrutturazione con costi enormi, nonché nella gestione per questo i costi dei prodotti della colazione nonché la scelta di non avere menù troppo ricchi onde evitare sprechi di cibo o di dover sopperire con cibo di qualità scadente. Grazie mille Ivan e Isa.

New structure, chic mountain style. Welcoming, clean, inside a village with narrow alleys, a fairy tale! Very kind and helpful managers. Highly recommended! Starting point for many excursions.

aldo

Charming structure. Impeccable all the way. Praises to the entire team. Ivan is very competent throughout the Valmalenco area: capable of giving targeted advice on all kinds of activities, even considering everyone's abilities and desires. Only remark: the cost for the SPA is untraceable, and instead should be clearly highlighted and not be a mystery.

stayed from 02/11/2024 to 02/16/2024

The answer from the host:
Ciao Aldo, grazie mille per la recensione. Il costo della SPA in realtà lo hai ricevuto nel PDF con le informazioni che ho mandato all'atto della prenotazione, assieme a tutte le info sulla struttura. Forse vi è scappato. Non lo pubblichiamo di proposito perché la struttura veniva confusa con una SPA pubblica aperta anche agli esterni. Alla prossima e grazie. Ivan

Good structure in the historical center of Caspoggio, in the ancient village. The structure is well taken care of in every detail, with a wood scent that envelops you as soon as you step through the threshold. We stayed in the Bernina room, where my 11-year-old son had a separate and comfortable sleeping area. Everything is tailored and designed to offer maximum comfort, the renovation respects both the historical aspect of the structure and the idea of a mountain accommodation, without giving up a touch of modernity. We were welcomed by Isa, kind and professional. The breakfast is very rich and served with kindness by Isa's sister. My son, who loves savory breakfast, was very happy to eat freshly scrambled eggs, good cheese, and excellent bresaola. My partner and I enjoyed an excellent buckwheat tart, not to mention yogurt, muesli, cereals, biscuits, rusks, Nutella, honey, jams, etc. Isa's husband, Ivan, in addition to assisting me with the reservation, being an alpine guide (Valmalencoalpina), took us on a pleasant sunset snowshoeing excursion. You can turn to him for any excursions. He was professional, competent, and provided us with a lot of useful and interesting information about the area and beyond. In conclusion, it was a perfect weekend! Thank you very much.

My partner and I stayed at this property last week and it was a dream: brand new and really beautiful structure. We booked the spa which is given for exclusive use for a couple of hours: beautiful, it's really worth it. Excellent breakfast with everything you could wish for, served inside a room with a truly intimate and welcoming fireplace. We felt really pampered and will be back soon.

Inserted in an ancient historic center among fairy-tale alleys and renovated using wood, stone, and design. Thanks to the guide of sports activities in the valley, available in the room, and the advice of Ivan and Isa, I spent two days snowshoeing in fantastic places and then relaxing in the spa.

Beautiful structure, attention to every detail, welcoming, clean, and very comfortable. A true gem in Valmalenco. And what about Ivan, a mountain man with a background like few others but who really knows how to make customers feel at ease. In short, highly recommended.

Gorgeous space! I came in the off-season, and it was quiet and lovely. Super comfy bed too. The host came to meet me to check in, she was very nice and full of information. I am a vegetarian and she asked about breakfast preference! Absolutely stay here.

Brand new facility in an old renovated mountain house with great attention to traditional local materials (wood and stone) and aesthetics, located in the historic center of the village. Truly beautiful and unique, soon to be equipped with a small spa, very charming and always in the style of the building. Abundant and quality breakfast even for those with food intolerances, served in a friendly and sympathetic atmosphere. Great attention is paid to the environment by eliminating plastic in favor of glass and less polluting materials. The real added value, however, is the welcoming atmosphere and attention from the owner Ivan and all the staff, who go out of their way to make guests feel at ease.

michela

Absolutely pleasant and comfortable. In my opinion, missing: a mirror in the room, entire person and, in the bathroom, the two towels near the sink are accessible only with the door closed. It is not necessarily required to close the door when going to the bathroom, so two additional hooks on the right wall of the sink would be appreciated. Those on the left are not needed. Just a small thing as you can see but if I really have to say something... that's all. Excellent hospitality.

stayed from 08/13/2023 to 08/16/2023

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno Michela, grazie mille per aver apprezzato il soggiorno nella nostra struttura. La casa ha più di 400 anni nella sua struttura quindi è difficilissimo studiare e combinare le soluzioni in locali così articolati. Pensi che gli appendini degli asciugamani erano dove ce li suggerite e dopo 3 richieste di spostarli li abbiamo messi dove sono ora. Quindi imaginare cosa pensano i nostri ospiti in anticipo è davvero difficile. Metterne troppi non va bene perché si possono urtare inavvertitamente. Insomma facciamo il possibile per afre attenzione ai dettagli ma non è facile 🙈🤪🙏🙏😉 comunque grazie proveremo a rivederli ... speriamo di avervi di nuovo nostri ospiti e grazie di tutto

Ivan's new B&B in the old part of Caspoggio is an amazing place, quiet and relaxing. Warm hospitality, great facility - very stylish, very very nice, run by the whole lovely family. We absolutely loved it. Ivan is also a great help for trails and activities around. The pizza 30 meters from the B&B is also great and the parking is close.

The answer from the host:
Thanks Ruth it was a great pleasure to host you in our old and special house and to guide you in our incredible valley
