Property info
Garni Pola is located in Campocologno, in the heart of Valposchiavo. As the first Swiss village after crossing the border from Tirano, it serves as the perfect base for those traveling between Switzerland and Italy or for anyone wishing to board the famous Bernina Express, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Thanks to its strategic location, the property is ideal for tourists, business travelers, and those just passing through, offering quick connections to Tirano, Valtellina, and the Engadine valley. It is also a convenient choice for winter stays and major sporting events.
The Garni Pola project was born from a desire to breathe new life into one of the valley’s historic buildings. The interiors, handcrafted from natural stone pine, offer bright and welcoming spaces where the scent of the wood and the clean architectural lines create a warm, relaxing atmosphere.
Every space is designed to ensure simplicity, comfort, and tranquility, featuring local materials, natural light, and a refined, authentic style. Garni Pola is the ideal choice for those seeking a practical yet well-curated stay, immersed in the quiet of the mountains.
