Dove Comincia La Bella Italia B&B

In the heart of Val d'Ossola, in Cuzzego di Beura Cardezza, where Stendhal noted that “beautiful Italy begins,” you'll find our bed and breakfast, which has been transformed from the historic village dairy dating back to 1874. The building retains the authenticity of its origins with its slate roof, antique furniture, and local ceramics, creating an intimate and welcoming atmosphere where the marks of the past blend with the genuine hospitality of a cherished home.

We welcome guests into a room with a private bathroom for exclusive use, nestled in the tranquility of a small village set among the mountains and overlooking the Valgrande National Park. Inside, you will discover a selection of books, informational material about the area, a kettle with tea and herbal infusions, free Wi-Fi, a TV, and a hairdryer. Every morning, we serve a hearty breakfast featuring a mix of sweet and savory local products in our kitchen, allowing you to start your day with the flavors and authenticity of the region.

Our home is also the perfect starting point for exploring the area: we are located just 7 km from Domodossola and the Sacred Mount Calvary (a UNESCO World Heritage site), and within easy reach of the Vigezzo Valley with its Christmas markets, the lakes of Maggiore, Orta, and Mergozzo, as well as natural wonders like the Toce waterfall and Monte Rosa. For mountain lovers, we offer a personalized hiking service: Tiziano, an official environmental hiking guide for the Protected Areas of Ossola, leads guests along ancient trails, through mule paths, stone villages, and unspoiled landscapes.

We are happy to welcome your four-legged friends upon request. Fred, our cat, will be the first to greet you with a curious yet discreet demeanor. We provide convenient free parking and a garage for motorcycles and sports equipment. Upon request, we offer a complimentary shuttle service to and from the train and bus stations in Domodossola.

Liliana and I have traveled extensively, both in Italy and abroad, having lived unforgettable experiences that now come alive in every interaction with our guests. For us, hosting is a way to continue traveling through the stories, languages, and smiles of those who arrive.
