Residence Monterosa is an aparthotel in Macugnaga, at the foot of the Monte Rosa massif, just a few steps from the town centre.
The property offers studios and multi-level apartments, all equipped with a fitted kitchenette, private bathroom with tub and soundproofed walls; several units feature a balcony with mountain views, while the larger ones reach 50 square metres with a living area separate from the bedroom. It is a solution designed for families, groups of friends and couples looking for the independence of an apartment without giving up the services of a well-equipped residence.
Common facilities include a garden with terrace, free WiFi, private on-site parking and an in-house ski pass sales point, useful for those arriving to ski directly. Hiking, cycling and skiing can be enjoyed in the area, and couples particularly appreciate the location, rated 9.6 for a romantic stay. Milan Malpensa Airport is 103 km away.
Residence Monterosa offers seven types of accommodation, from compact studios to two-level apartments, designed for independent stays thanks to a full kitchenette in every unit. All accommodations feature a private bathroom with tub, soundproofed walls and a set for making tea and coffee, elements shared across the property’s entire offering.
The main differences concern the size, ranging from 30 to 50 square metres, and the layout of the spaces: the larger studios and apartments add a balcony with mountain views, a bedroom separate from the living room and, in the largest units, a second area with a sofa bed to accommodate up to four people.
The Standard Studio is the most compact solution at the residence, with 30 square metres arranged in a single soundproofed space. The private bathroom features a tub, bidet and hairdryer, while the kitchenette is equipped with a stove, refrigerator and utensils for self-catering meals. An independent entrance and a living area with cable TV complete this room type, designed for those seeking an essential pied-à-terre at the foot of Monte Rosa.
Compared to the Standard Studio, the Superior gains an extra 10 square metres and a private balcony with mountain views, ideal for breakfast outdoors on clear days. The kitchenette is fully equipped with a tea and coffee set, and the private bathroom retains the tub. The soundproofed walls ensure greater peace and quiet than in the property’s smaller rooms.
The Queen Deluxe shares the 40-square-metre size and the panoramic balcony of the Superior, but stands out for the combination of a double bed and a single bed, which brings the capacity to three people. It is the best choice for small groups or families with one child, without giving up the bathtub in the bathroom and the full kitchenette.
The largest at the property, the Two-Level Apartment spans two floors with a living room on the lower level and a separate bedroom on the upper floor, suited to those seeking greater privacy between the living and sleeping areas. It features a full kitchenette, wardrobe and a bathroom with tub and shower; the sofa bed in the living room allows for up to four guests.
The same 50 square metres as the Two-Level Apartment, but with the distinctive feature of a balcony overlooking the mountains, which here becomes the strong point compared to the other family solutions. The bedroom remains separate from the living room, while the kitchenette and the bathroom with tub complete an accommodation designed for those unwilling to give up the view.
Located on the ground floor, this 50-square-metre apartment offers more direct access to the outdoor spaces than the units on the upper floors. The living area is furnished with a wardrobe and flat-screen TV, the kitchenette is well equipped and the private bathroom has a tub and shower; the maximum capacity is three people.
The smallest of the apartments, designed for a single guest, offers a single space with a sofa bed, a basic kitchenette and a private bathroom with tub, bidet and hairdryer. It is the property’s most affordable solution for solo travellers who still want the independence of a private entrance.
Residence Monterosa offers a garden with a panoramic terrace, ideal for enjoying the view of Monte Rosa, along with a wide range of organised activities such as bike tours, walking tours, themed evenings and guided excursions. For those arriving to ski, the property directly manages a ski pass sales point and a ski school with equipment storage.
General facilities include a lift, wheelchair access, heating and soundproofed rooms, while private parking is arranged in a garage. Every apartment is equipped with a kitchenette with utensils, refrigerator and hob, a bathroom with tub and shower, TV with cable channels and an internet connection. For breakfast or snacks, a kettle and coffee machine service is available in the room.

The location at the foot of the Nordend, the 4,609-metre peak that overlooks the valley less than 1.5 km from the property, makes Macugnaga an excellent base for mountaineering and summer hiking on the area’s trails, as well as for trekking to the massif’s mountain huts.
