Starting from 10,00 €Inaugurated in 1903, it was the first sanatorium in Italy. The main building, surrounded by other smaller buildings and enclosed by the pine grove, offers breathtaking views over the valley. Built to a design by architect Giuseppe Ramponi in an elegant Art Nouveau style, it represents the first type of sanatoriums more similar to luxurious hotels for wealthy patients, with rooms for conversation, reading, and music, large halls with wide windows for meals, and single rooms with verandas and paths in the garden and the surrounding pine grove. Even today it retains the elegance and charm of the early 20th century, reviving the typical world of “The Magic Mountain.”
