Stéphane and his family are very welcoming hosts. Specificaly designed for "Nature-Lovers", this secret Mountain retreat is all and more that it promises. As secluded as a Monastery, getting there is the hardest part as everything makes you wish you were staying longer. Authentic to the traditions it was built upon, it holds a strong story which is linked to the inspiring story of the Valley. Multi-cultural and pluri-lingual, the people you will find there are as special as the hike to get there : it is an amazing meeting point, not very far from Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, France, Civilization and Wilderness.

The Hike and the Place are as promised for Nature Lovers only. It is both the best and the most complicated part of this place as no motivation and desire will make up for the skills required to hike through a mountain. This is why Stefano and the Locals of Orasso can and will be there to guide you.

The views are incredible, surronded by nature. We had a great night sleep here.

We`ve spent almost two weeks at the Secret Retreat far from people and close to the nature. We're unbothered and left in peace, which was immensely precious for us. This place is a pure magic if you love simplicity and don`t mind being surrounded by lizards, squirrels, Owls and Bats. We gathered herbs and drank this beautiful water from the source...

Nothing we didn`t like.

It was a truly wonderful experience, to walk from orasso to bognago, being welcomed by these nice people in their peaceful place with an interesting history . And after a good night rest, walk from there to spoccia next day, a beautiful 3-4 hour walk with lunch in the middle at a small nice bar. And than as a big bonus on the way back, dive in the wild river , being oxygenated , purified by the crystal clear water of the bassins and waterfalls. Wow!

Truly wonderful place to spend a few days of restorative calm.

An excellent stay for hikers and nature lovers!! The people were super friendly and the food was simple, yet super delicious :) This is really the perfect place to be at if you need a break for your mind and soul...
