Dining Excellence
La Brace offers an exceptional culinary experience through its renowned restaurant, specializing in traditional local dishes. The menu includes well-known Valtellina specialties such as pizzoccheri and bresaola, all prepared with locally sourced ingredients. Guests can enjoy a unique grilled meat experience, with top-quality selections aged for 40 days and grilled on vegetable charcoal.
Rich History and Heritage
Established in 1851, La Brace has been a significant location in Valtellina, transitioning from a tavern to a complete hotel and restaurant. Historical elements from the 1800s are preserved in the rustic architecture, including the original stone and wood elements throughout the facility. The transformation of La Brace continues with the fourth-generation owner, Gino Cattaneo, focusing on maintaining the property's authenticity.
Accommodations
La Brace features a total of 41 rooms, including three luxury suites, all retaining a touch of traditional Valtellina style. Most rooms overlook the striking Valtellina mountains, providing a scenic backdrop. Each room contains elegant elements like oak flooring and antique ceilings, blending heritage with modern comforts.
Suites for Distinctive Stays
Guests can choose from three luxurious suites designed for a memorable experience. The Suite dei Conti reflects the 19th-century elegance of the Counts Guicciardi with antique furnishings, while the Garden Suite features pampering amenities like a steam shower and jacuzzi. The Wellness Suite is expansive, complete with an infrared sauna and relaxation area.
Strategic Location for Adventures
La Brace is strategically positioned between Morbegno and Sondrio, close to Lake Como and various ski resorts. The hotel serves as a convenient stop for tourists seeking skiing, hiking, or cultural experiences in Upper Valtellina. Proximity to the Bernina Express provides guests with access to breathtaking mountain scenery.
