Roccolo Valsesia is a family-run guest house set on a hillside in the centre of Varallo, in Valsesia, just a few hundred metres from the town’s railway station.
The property, entirely non-smoking and reserved for adults, is arranged around a garden with a seasonal outdoor pool and an equipped terrace, ideal for those seeking a quiet stay away from city traffic while still being close to the village’s main points of interest. The last stretch of road to reach the entrance must be covered on foot, in about four minutes, a detail worth keeping in mind upon arrival.
The three room types available, all with private bathroom, minibar and flat-screen TV, differ mainly in size and view: from the garden to the surrounding mountains, up to a glimpse of the pool. Breakfast, served every morning, offers Italian, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Private parking is free, a welcome bonus for those arriving by car in this hilly area. The location, particularly appreciated by couples, allows Lake Orta and the Borromean Islands to be reached by car in under an hour.
The rooms at Roccolo Valsesia share a common set of comforts designed for a relaxed stay: private bathroom with amenity kit and bathrobe, flat-screen TV with cable channels, electric kettle, refrigerator and WiFi connection. Bed linen and towels are always included, as is a desk useful for those travelling on business.
What sets the three room types apart is mainly their size and views. The Standard Double Room, the most compact at 22 sqm, has its own terrace with garden view. The Deluxe Double Room with Balcony rises to 26 sqm and adds a private balcony. The King Superior Room, the largest at 34 sqm, is the one that also offers a pool view, along with more space to relax. In all room types the bed is a large double, suitable for two people.
The most compact of the three room types, at 22 sqm, still offers its own terrace overlooking the garden, ideal for outdoor breakfasts. The private bathroom is equipped with shower, bidet and hairdryer, while the independent entrance ensures greater privacy compared to the other rooms.
Larger than the Standard room, this 26 sqm room stands out for its private balcony with garden view, perfect for an outdoor coffee. The minibar and independent entrance complete an accommodation designed for those looking for a bit more space without giving up privacy.
The largest room in the property, at 34 sqm, is also the only one overlooking the pool directly, while also offering garden and mountain views. Equipped with a minibar, tea and coffee kettle and TV with cable channels, it is the ideal choice for those looking for the most space and the most striking view.
Roccolo Valsesia provides guests with a garden featuring a seasonal outdoor pool and a sun terrace equipped with umbrellas and sun loungers, spaces designed for those who want to relax between excursions in Valsesia. Private parking is free, a concrete advantage given the hillside location of the property.
General services include daily housekeeping, luggage storage, private and express check-in and check-out, as well as an ironing service on request. The property is entirely non-smoking and reserved for adults, with parquet or tiled floors and heating in all rooms.
There is also a wellness offering with body, foot, back and couples’ massages, plus spa packages on request. Every room has a private bathroom with bathrobe and complimentary toiletries, minibar, refrigerator and electric kettle, while breakfast offers Italian, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
Roccolo Valsesia sits in an elevated position in the heart of Varallo, the main town of Valsesia, in a quiet residential setting reached by a final short walk of about four minutes from the parking area. The village, set along the Sesia river, retains a compact and lively historic centre, with bars and restaurants just steps from the property.
Varallo Sesia railway station is just 350 metres away, convenient for those arriving without a car or wishing to travel towards Quarona and the plain. A short walk away are venues such as Wood Cafè and the restaurant Al Postiglione, both within 250 metres. By car, Lake Orta can be reached in about 15 minutes (6 km), while the Borromean Islands are 44 km away. Milan Malpensa Airport is about 40 km away, a practical option for those arriving from outside the region.
Valsesia offers many opportunities to explore nature: the Alta Val Sesia Natural Park, about 12 km away, is a starting point for summer hikes through woods and alpine pastures, while Colma Pass, just 5 km away, is a destination for panoramic walks and, in winter, cross-country skiing. The Sacro Monte di Varallo, a UNESCO World Heritage site, can be reached with a short trip from the town centre, offering frescoed chapels and a viewpoint over the valley. The area is suited both to active stays combining mountains and trekking and to cultural trips to the nearby lakes.
Guests especially reward the staff (9.6) and cleanliness (9.6), followed by comfort and location, both above 9. The value for money remains solid nonetheless (8.9), while WiFi receives the lowest score, though still at a decent level.
