📍 Where it is located
The Roseto del Drago is located in the historic center of Ponte in Valtellina, on via Pizzo Scalino. The structure is easily reachable on foot from the heart of the town, just a few minutes from piazza Luini and the main historic buildings of the village.
🏛️ A historic residence from the Fifteenth Century
The house dates back to the 15th century and has been carefully restored by the Cassan family, who have uncovered the original elements and transformed the entire property into a period residence with a garden and cultural spaces.
The Roseto del Drago takes its name from the combination of:
- the presence of the dragon in the frescoes and artistic details of the house
- and the rose garden, the true protagonist of the place
🌸 A garden with over 100 varieties of roses
The internal garden is the heart of the Roseto: here grow more than 100 different varieties of roses, along with aromatic plants, fruit trees, and ornamental shrubs.
It is not just a simple green space: it is a place designed for wellness, reading, silence, and art. During the flowering season, the combination of colors and fragrances makes this corner of Ponte one of the most evocative in Valtellina.
🏡 Hospitality and activities
The Roseto del Drago also offers hospitality in independent apartments, carefully designed, ideal for those who want to experience a quiet stay immersed in history.
