Welcome to Casa La Lanterna, a cozy mountain home in Albaredo per San Marco, located in the peaceful hamlet of Case di Sopra, along the historic road leading to Passo San Marco, in the heart of the Orobie Alps of Valtellina.
The house is a typical mountain dwelling, restored from an old stable, and is spread over three floors. On the third floor, you'll find a romantic double bedroom with a private terrace and stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The second floor features a small sitting room, perfect for relaxing after hikes, and a complete bathroom with a compact bathtub/shower, washing machine, iron, hairdryer, and everything needed for a comfortable stay.
On the ground floor, there is another cozy sitting area, a guest toilet, and a new, fully equipped modern kitchen — ideal for preparing meals after a day in nature.
Casa La Lanterna in Valtellina is a unique and authentic home: do not expect a conventional layout! The irregular spaces, internal stairs, and particular bathroom (shower to be used sitting down) tell the story of a renovation that respects its original character. It is not a luxurious or super comfortable house, but it is perfect for hikers, mountain lovers, and adventurous travelers looking for a characteristic and authentic stay immersed in nature.
From here, you can easily explore the Orobie Valtellinesi Park, the Sentiero del Cielo, and the Passo San Marco, enjoying spectacular trekking routes. Albaredo is also the ideal starting point to discover the Lower Valtellina, Morbegno, and the famous Bitto Storico cheese.
If you love real mountains, authenticity, and the idea of living in an unconventional home, Casa La Lanterna is waiting for you!
Hello! My name is Francesco and I am deeply connected to this land: my mother is from Valtellina, my father is from Lake Como, and I grew up right here, among the mountains of Valtellina, where I attended school and built many memories.
The house hosting you is located in Albaredo per San Marco, a small authentic village rich in traditions. It is a special place for me: my grandparents were born in Albaredo, right in the hamlet of Case di Sopra, where my grandfather was also born.
I know Valtellina and its surroundings very well: scenic trails, mountain huts, historic villages, and genuine local flavors are part of my everyday life, and I will be happy to share tips, experiences, and less touristy routes to help you fully enjoy this extraordinary land.
I love welcoming guests with simplicity and warmth, trying to make them feel at home. My goal is to help you discover the true essence of Valtellina, through its nature, culture, and traditions.

Le Case di Sopra is a small historic hamlet within the village of Albaredo per San Marco — a true "village within the village." Here, time seems to have stood still: among narrow stone alleys, old farmhouses, and the communal washhouse, you can breathe the authentic spirit of rural life in Valtellina.
Inhabited by families devoted to farming and livestock, the hamlet has preserved its rustic charm, with flowers on the balconies, dry-stone walls, and stunning views opening onto the surrounding mountains.
It is the perfect place for those seeking silence, simplicity, and authenticity, far from mass tourism but close to trails and traditions that tell the story of the real Valtellina.
