Posto stupendo. Staff dell’ostello e dell’Info point molto gentile, vista bellissima, passeggiate pazzesche

The only downsides were that there are only two showers, which can be a bit inconvenient when the hostel is full, and the road to get there can feel a little dangerous if you meet another car coming from the opposite direction.

I stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed my time. The host was super friendly and always available to help, which made the stay even better. The location is beautiful and very peaceful, perfect if you’re looking for some quiet time away. Everything was clean, and fresh bed sheets and towels were provided, which was a nice touch. There’s also a nearby ARCI club where you can eat, which makes it even more convenient. Overall, a lovely place to stay with a great atmosphere – I’d definitely recommend it!

The church clock made a lot of noise during the night when the balcony doors were open.

There are few times where what you expect is met with what you didn't know you needed. I came cold from a hard rainfall and was greeted with so much warmth that it still lasts. What an unexpectedly pleasant place. The atmosphere made it easy and natural to connect with other people and this place has become a benchmark for how it should be.

The whole stay was wonderful!! Massimo welcomed us with a warm heart and a big smile. He gave us advice on the trails near the property, and showed us the hostel. He was always available for any question. The hostel is well maintained and it feels really cozy! The rooms and bathrooms were clean and everything is tidy. I really recommend this hostel for all who travel to hike in Parco Val Grande.

Friendly and welcoming hosts. Great isolation refuge with all comforts.

I would have preferred a double bed for me and my partner, but the bunk beds themselves were comfortable enough.

Massimo, the host, was very friendly and helpful. He made us feel right at home. The location of the hostel is a dream, with hiking trails immediately outside the village. The rooms were clean and comfortable. It has a real nice mountain hut-vibe.

Everything was super, the host is great and the dynamic in the hostel is amazing. For travels it's the best spot to rest, or even just spend the day.

Spectacular location atop a long and very narrow road. But well worth the drive up. Relaxed atmosphere with helpful staff. Well equipped and well organised.

Great location up the side of a mountain. Perfect starting point for beautiful hikes. We didn’t bring food and the restaurant next door we thought would be open was closed, but that wasn’t a problem because the hostel’s kitchen comes with its own “mini market”. The pantry and fridge(s) are fully stocked for you to use for a delicious meal in return for a donation. The hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful and the overall atmosphere is very inviting and relaxed. Would come again!

friendly staff, nice area for hiking and to enjoy nature. fully equipped and stocked kitchen to prepare own meals on donation basis.

Because of the room size the beds are bunk-beds, so on top of each other. Not an actual problem but just so you know beforehand.

Cicogna is not an easy place to reach, especially on foot. Village "at the end of the world", where road ends and hiking paths start. But oh, is it worth a go. I have stayed in many hostels but Ostello del Parco is special - from the first moment it felt like home. All amenities at your disposal, maps and good advice for hiking routes, fully stocked pantry, homemade bread... The host Massimo is a treasure! Big thanks and sorry I snatched the sunglasses :)

We were amazed, never seen such a well equipped hostel. Nicest view on the mountains from every room, nicest staff, quiet. Perfect.

Nice and weloming place, just right to refill after some days of hiking. Real trail angels, have to come back.

The road to the hostel is very narrow and you need excellent driving skills and a small car. Make sure that you know how to drive backwards, you will need it.

Very nice hostel manager (Massimo), in the middle of the Mountains.
