All historic buildings in the Do-Minus | Design Retreats & Spa collection have been meticulously restored by architects Riccarda Guidotti and Andrea Frapolli.
 Each property has been transformed into a holiday home that preserves the values of traditional Ticino architecture, enhanced with contemporary design touches and mid-century modern pieces. Every stay in one of the six properties is a unique experience — whether it’s a mountain hideaway, an escape in a historic village, or a night on a sailboat by the lake — each reflecting the authentic beauty and spirit of Ticino.

The Do-Minus | Design Retreats & Spa collection offers exclusive spaces that blend nature, wellbeing, and design, promoting a vision of sustainable tourism. Cà Spontoi is located in the historic core of Gnosca-Bellinzona, near a waterfall nestled in the forest. To offer you exclusive sensory experiences, we will welcome you in the various rooms of a typical Ticino house restored respecting tradition, with a few minimal contemporary notes. Guests can reserve either the entire house or one of the suites — the Mini Suite (for 2–3 people) or the Suite (for 2–5 people). 
 Both feature a private bathroom with shower and share common areas, including a well-equipped kitchen with fireplace, an atelier, a grotto, a garden with BBQ, and a SPA with sauna and an outdoor hot tub — perfect for a memorable wellness ritual. At our guests' disposal (on payment and upon reservation at least 24 hours before check in) our Mini Spa with sauna and outdoor whirpool for absolute relaxing moments! Book your stay and immerse yourself in the understated elegance of Cà Spontoi, ideal for a relaxing escape or as a base to explore the wonders of Ticino.

Gnosca is few minutes by car by Bellinzona and the three castle (UNESCO heritage) and is in a strategic positon to visit the valleys of high Ticino or see lago Maggiore and Locarno, surrounded by nature is a start point for hiking and biking.
