Ways to stay

Family & group stays

Two homes, five bedrooms and a swimmable lake within walking distance — room for the whole family or a group of friends. A 16th-century castle between Lake Como and Lake Lugano, all to yourselves.

Room for everyone

A castle big enough for the whole group

Workation Castle is two separately bookable houses inside one set of centuries-old walls, with five bedrooms for up to nine guests. Take one home for a family holiday, or both for a milestone birthday, a reunion or a week away with friends — with gardens, full kitchens and living rooms so everyone has somewhere to gather and somewhere to retreat.

It’s the kind of place where the days fill themselves. Swim in the lake, walk the forest trails, drive out to Bellagio or Varenna, then come back to cook together and eat late on the terrace. Modern comfort, historic character, and enough space that nobody feels on top of each other.

The homes

Two houses, one castle

Five bedrooms, two kitchens and two gardens inside the old walls — comfortable, modern, and yours for the stay.

Five bedrooms across two homes

Casa Galbiga and Casa Tremezzo sleep up to nine guests between them, each with its own kitchen, living room and access to a garden. Book one for a family, or both for a larger group — modern, comfortable interiors tucked inside centuries-old stone.

Gardens, terrace and a lake to swim in

Each home opens onto a garden, the terrace looks out over the hills, and a swimmable lake sits a few minutes’ walk away. There’s a full kitchen for big group dinners, and space outside for kids and grown-ups to spread out.

Things to do nearby

Easy with kids, easy with a crowd

Built for families and groups

With both houses to yourselves there are no shared corridors and no other guests — just your people. The grounds are safe for children to roam, there’s free parking on site, and the lake, trails and waterfalls all start within walking distance. It’s an hour from Milan Malpensa by car, and reachable by train via Lugano.

Celebrating something? Tell us what you have in mind. We can help with airport transfers, a private chef for the big dinner, and ideas for days out around the two lakes — so the only thing left to organise is who’s bringing what to the table.

★★★★★

A great, well-thought-out concept — for larger families, groups, and for working. We loved the atmosphere of the old stone walls and the view from the terrace.

The location is perfect — right between Lake Como and Lake Lugano, with a bonus small lake five minutes away.

A wonderful and very relaxing place to work or take a holiday. The house and the shared spaces are superbly equipped.
