Nestled in the quiet and genuine beauty of eastern Lessinia, the vacation home Il Sanco is situated at an altitude of approximately 940 meters, near San Bartolomeo delle Montagne, in the municipality of Selva di Progno, in the province of Verona. Surrounded by pastures and forests, in a territory that remains unspoiled and rich in traditions, it serves as an ideal retreat for those looking to slow down and experience the mountains in an authentic way, just a few kilometers from the city.

The hamlet consists of a single residential unit that has undergone careful restoration to preserve its historical and architectural value, utilizing eco-friendly materials and techniques. The original core, dating back to the 17th century, includes the old dwelling and a barn with a hayloft, which was rebuilt after a fire during World War II. A valuable 17th-century votive tablet depicting the Madonna with Child, Saint Roch, and Saint Sebastian can still be seen on the exterior façade, reflecting the local popular devotion.

The area currently designated for hospitality was expanded between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The property welcomes guests in three bright, smoke-free rooms, each equipped with a private bathroom, free Wi-Fi, bed linens, and towel sets available for a fee. The rooms are furnished simply and functionally, providing intimate and quiet spaces perfect for relaxation.

Common areas include a fully equipped shared kitchen where guests can prepare their own meals or enjoy breakfast, with coffee, tea, and herbal teas available. Upon request and with prior notice, a breakfast featuring local and primarily organic products is served. On the upper floor, there is an inviting relaxation room with large windows overlooking the forest, designed for moments of reading, music, and tranquility, while the porch and patio outside offer ideal spots to unwind in nature.

Guests also have access to a washing machine, available for a fee. The location of the property allows easy access to numerous hiking trails, including scenic paths, historic hamlets, and nature routes of varying difficulty. Nearby Bolca is renowned for its extraordinary fossil site and the museum dedicated to it.

Il Sanco is a place where history, nature, and hospitality converge, providing an authentic experience in the heart of Lessinia.

Rooms and Rates

Area Collina

The vacation home Il Sanco is situated in the heart of eastern Lessinia, a mountainous region that remains authentic and sparsely populated, characterized by vast meadows, forests, and historic hamlets that reflect an ancient culture deeply connected to nature. Located at about 940 meters above sea level, the area provides open and tranquil vistas, with views stretching across valleys and ridges that mark the border between the provinces of Verona and Vicenza.

The setting is marked by a harmonious balance between the natural environment and human presence, featuring small scattered communities and examples of rural architecture that preserve the charm of the past. To the east, the Val d’Alpone and Val del Chiampo unfold, while to the north rise the slopes of the Carega group, with Monte Lobbia dominating the landscape. To the west lie the Val di Revolto and Val d’Illasi, and to the south, the ridge leading to Sprea forms a gentle and scenic profile.

This area is particularly favored by outdoor enthusiasts due to a dense network of trails weaving through meadows and forests, suitable for hikers of all levels. The paths lead to the discovery of ancient hamlets, votive chapels, examples of folk art, and striking natural views. The nearby Piccole Dolomiti offer more challenging routes and breathtaking panoramas.

Just a few kilometers away is Bolca, internationally renowned for its remarkable fossil site, one of the most significant in the world, as well as for the museum housing specimens of exceptional scientific value. The entire region is part of the Lessinia Regional Natural Park, a protected area that preserves a rich environmental heritage filled with biodiversity, traditions, and history.

While maintaining a cozy and peaceful atmosphere, the area provides essential services nearby, such as restaurants, trattorias, and small local shops. Its location also allows for easy access to Verona, enabling a seamless blend of mountain tranquility with the cultural and artistic opportunities of the city.
