Hunum
Modern-rustic Alpine. Think natural stone and solid wood, organic cotton sheets, wood-fired hot tubs, and Gaggia espresso machines. Designer sensibility meets mountain slowness. No lobby, no reception desk — just your own private cabin and a chestnut forest.
Order the Matlab food box upon arrival — it's a curated selection of local Valchiavenna and Valtellina products for in-cabin dinners
Why It Matters
Listed on both the Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels. Featured in GQ Italia (September 2023). A working farm producing honey, berries, vegetables, and chestnut flour — and it shows in breakfast and the farm shop. Sustainably built with solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and solid-wood furniture designed to last. Probably the most design-forward agriturismo in the Italian Alps.
Hunum is an Alpine agriturismo unlike any other in Italy. Its founder, designer Luca Capurso, bought and restored seven stone cabins on the mid-slope hillside of Valchiavenna — the Alpine valley north of Lake Como, within sight of Switzerland — and turned them into one of the country's most singular farm stays. The name is a portmanteau of humanus, humus, and unicum: human, earthly, unique. And the place lives up to all three.
Where You'll Stay
3 room types available
Baita H-311
From EUR360 / nightA two-level cabin with a bright living room that opens onto a wide terrace featuring a wood-fired hot tub and a table handmade from a chestnut tree sourced on the property. The bedroom on the upper floor has a double-height ceiling and a statement panoramic window. There's a dedicated remote-work nook and a sauna. One of the most practical options for longer stays.
DoubleBaita H-385
From EUR580 / nightThe flagship cabin. Three levels in a traditional stone structure — the original material is intact, paired with Hunum's design touch. Ground floor: spacious kitchen and dining room anchored by the original stone fireplace. First floor: living room, a bedroom, and a sauna-equipped bathroom opening onto a private patio with hot tub. Top floor: the master bedroom, positioned under a skylight so you can watch stars from the bed. The most expensive and most complete cabin on the property.
Double + additional bedroomBaita H-386
From EUR220 / nightThe most intimate of the three cabins, spread across two levels. The double bedroom sits on the upper floor beneath a generous skylight — good for watching stars on clear summer nights — with a view of Pizzo di Prata across the valley. Ground floor has a living room with kitchenette and a design bathroom. Private garden outside with a wooden deck, gazebo, and a wood-fired hot tub.
