★★★★★
We stayed with our three-year-old daughter for 10 days in this pretty house in this exceptional location. The old stone house is modern inside with everything you need for a great stay. The view of the lake in this steep location is unique and it is great that the house is only accessible via steeper stairs and narrow alleys. Communication with Mish was great. He gave great tips and always responded incredibly quickly. We were all the more pleased that we were then able to meet him personally together with his parents! We highly recommend both the old cottage for a vacation stay and Mish as a host!

We had a lovely stay at Mish's place. It is quiet and peaceful, well equipped, and clean. Communication was excellent. A great bonus was the bread delivery van that came to the village every morning. It is possible to hike straight from the house, and there is an hourly bus up and down the valley, with which you have infinite options. Highly recommend!

Beautiful and lovingly restored rustico in Corippo which we see as a good starting point for the Verzascatal.The village can be reached from the bus stop in about 15 minutes.In the village there is a daily bread service as well as the possibility to eat in a restaurant.Michael put together a great compilation with directions, activity options, etc.We recommend the Rustico to anyone who is not looking for a 0815 accommodation.
