- Qué tiene: Rocca Calascio · 1,460 m · Albergo diffuso since 1997 · Apartment with kitchen and fireplace

Rooms in the restored houses of the village of Rocca Calascio, beneath the castle, with bar, breakfast and restaurant; paths from the door.

Sleeping beneath the castle
The Rifugio della Rocca has operated since 1997 as an albergo diffuso in the village of Rocca Calascio, at 1,460 m, right below the tower. The rooms are ruined houses recovered with their own materials: underfloor heating, some with a fireplace, bed linen and bathroom, and daily cleaning. Each has a name (Blu, Gialla, Rossa, Upupa, Scarabeo, the Torretta) and they are booked one by one on its website. There are also a dormitory, suites and an apartment in the upper part of the village, with living room, kitchen, fireplace and five places, which suits a family or a group.
The house and the restaurant
Reception is open 24 hours, so you can arrive at any time, and the house has a bar, breakfast room and a restaurant on two floors, each room with its own fireplace, where there are also books and maps of the area. The restaurant is booked separately, on +39 351 355 6636. At night, when the visitors leave, the village and the castle are almost empty.
Getting there and what is nearby
You drive up from Calascio. In summer, between 12:00 and 18:00, the road jams and the car park fills: the house asks for patience from those arriving at those hours. From the door paths lead to the surrounding villages and towards Campo Imperatore.
