1928 Guest House is a guest house set in a historic building constructed in 1928 in Pogno, a small village in Piedmont just a few kilometres from Lake Orta.
The property features a well-tended garden, luggage storage space and room service, elements that make it suitable both for those seeking a peaceful stop and for those visiting the area for a few days. The three available room types share a simple yet carefully finished layout: desk, private bathroom with shower and courtesy set, flat-screen TV, hairdryer and views of the garden or the village, with differences mainly related to room size and the presence of a balcony.
Breakfast, served buffet-style, offers continental, Italian and vegetarian options, and is included in the stay. Guests can enjoy outdoor activities such as cycling, very popular in the hilly surroundings of Pogno, or head to the Sacro Monte of Orta or Lake Orta, both reachable within a few minutes by car. Milan Malpensa Airport is about 41 km away and can be reached via a paid shuttle organised by the property itself.
The rooms at 1928 Guest House are housed within the historic 1928 building and share an essential style, carefully finished in the functional details: each room has a private bathroom with shower and courtesy set, desk, flat-screen TV and hairdryer, as well as views of the inner garden or the village of Pogno. The three available types — Standard, with Balcony and Deluxe — differ mainly in size, ranging from 9 to 14 sqm, and in the presence or absence of a private balcony overlooking the greenery.
Those seeking a more compact option will find the Standard Double Room a good fit, while the rooms with Balcony and the Deluxe offer more spacious accommodation, ideal for guests who want a bit more comfort during their stay. All rooms feature a private entrance, a detail that gives guests greater independence during their stay in Pogno.
The most compact of the three room types, with 9 sqm designed for an essential stay.
