Agriturismo Corte Merina - frazione Cicogna-Cossogno VB
CIN IT103023B5SK8542IT
The Corte Merina farmhouse is located in Cicogna, a hamlet of Cossogno and small capital of the Val Grande National Park, at 800 meters above sea level, in a mountain area with a very special charm: past and present blend together in a unique and extraordinary environment, the park and its wilderness, wild nature in which to venture for excursions and trekking on nature trails among centuries-old woods, rushing streams at the bottom of the valley, ridges with breathtaking views.
The traces of a peasant civilization that lived here can be found in the ruins of abandoned mountain pastures, on the mule tracks that you will travel: not only nature but also history, a magical and exciting encounter.
Our company is located in a "courtyard" 5 minutes from the village of Cicogna. Both the farmhouse and the small agri-campsite can only be reached on foot.
Here a settlement outside the town center where peasant families lived with their animals is called “corte”; compared to the mountain pasture, it was inhabited all year round.
Our adventure began about 20 years ago, we re-inhabited the corte dedicating ourselves to raising dairy goats and producing cheese.
We welcome you to a farmhouse dating back to 1920, renovated maintaining the original features, in stone with a slate roof as per local tradition.
Wood treated with natural impregnants, wood heating from local sources and solar panels.
The kitchen offers food with products from the company, raw milk goat cheeses, fresh and aged, platters with mixed cured meats, cotechini and dried meat, hot dishes with polenta and stews of goat and pork meat from our farm. Eggs, vegetables from the garden based on seasonal availability. Water from a mountain source.
You can stay in our farmhouse in the rooms, in the campsite with your own tents or in our glamping tents, or in a small independent cabin for both short overnight stays and extended holidays.
-The cabin consists of a living room kitchen and a bedroom with a double bed, plus 2 places for children, handcrafted wooden furnishings, private bathroom with hot water shower. We provide organic soaps and kitchen detergent, towels, sheets, blankets. Wood for the stove available in the winter months.
-The rooms are located in a newly renovated building, on the first floor. They have a balcony overlooking the valley, external bathrooms, on the ground floor. We provide organic soaps, towels, sheets and blankets. Those who stay in the room have the possibility of using the common areas of the agri-campsite.
-The campsite, in front of the farmhouse, has bathrooms with shower, separate for men and women, a small corner for washing dishes, outdoor tables near the pitches, barbecue area.
- The glamping tents, for two people, are furnished with beds, sheets and blankets, towels.
Cicogna is not served by public transport but if you arrive by train or bus we are available to organize transport to us. Alternatively, to go up to the village there is a route that can be done on foot or electric bikes can be rented in the village at the beginning of the valley.

Thank you for this beautiful stay tucked among farm buildings and mountain cabins, with a charming village nearby and forest trails branching out in every direction. Though isolated, the place is steeped in history—you can feel it in the air, which smells fresh and clean, and in the pure mountain water. The host family on the farm was incredibly kind and welcoming. Being disconnected from society (and with the internet rarely working) made it all the more perfect. The cabin itself was wonderful—cozy, peaceful, and ideal for a writing retreat or just to unwind. I’ll definitely be back!

Schöner kleiner Agritourismus mit netter Familie, der noch eine tatsächliche Landwirtschaft hat und leckere eigene Produkte hat. Negativpunkte: nur eine Toilette, die mit der Dische zusammen ist. Und Essenspreise etwas hoch.
