History

Agriturismo Giacomino

Our history has deep roots, which are rooted in tradition, sacrifice and passion for the mountains.
It all began in 1934, when Emilia, Giacomino's mother, was born in Sorico, a small town overlooking Lake Como. As a young woman, Emilia fell in love with Fedele, born in 1928, with whom she would give birth to 8 children. Life is not easy: work is scarce and daily difficulties are many, but the strength of the family is greater than any obstacle. Fedele works shifts at a steel mill, while Emilia, in addition to taking care of her eight children, also takes care of the animals: cows, goats, sheep, pigs and rabbits.
In winter, the family lives in the plains, where the milk produced by the cows is taken to the local dairy. In exchange for the liters of milk, the family receives cheese or, sometimes, money.
The pigs, in addition to being used for meat, were mated and sold individually. When late spring arrives, however, life changes: the family goes up to the mountain pastures with all the animals to spend 5 long months in the mountains.
In 1979, when grandfather Fedele is 51 years old, the family's life takes a tragic turn: Fedele dies, leaving Emilia alone to raise and feed eight children.
But the strength of the woman and the determination of the boys do not stop: everyone rolls up their sleeves to help their mother. It is precisely in that period that Giacomino develops a true feeling of passion for the mountains and animals, together with a dream in the drawer: to open, one day, a farmhouse. The years pass, but Giacomino never stops believing in his dream. After a period of work abroad, in Germany, where he accumulates his first savings, he returns to Italy and begins to realize his project.
Even though everyone considered him “crazy” for wanting to build a farmhouse at 1,100 meters above sea level, Giacomino does not stop. His determination is unshakable, and with the support of his future wife Raffaella, who becomes his life and work partner, the dream begins to take shape. In 1997, Joele was born, the only son of Giacomino, who is now the current owner of the agriturismo. The following year, in 2000, Agriturismo Giacomino finally opened its doors, bringing with it the first satisfactions after years of sacrifices. The cuisine of sister Pinuccia, who prepares typical and genuine dishes, and the rustic rooms with a breathtaking view of Lake Como began to make themselves known, attracting more and more visitors to this remote but enchanting corner. From that moment on, Giacomino, Raffaella and Joele have never stopped improving and expanding the structure, always with the aim of offering a unique experience to their guests. In 2025, we are ready to inaugurate our 25th season. Every year is a new challenge, but also an opportunity to write new chapters in our history, which is rooted in the passion, work and beauty of this land. Agriturismo Giacomino is not just a place to stay, but a story of family, sacrifices, dreams come true and love for the mountains and nature.

We look forward to seeing you to live this dream with us, made of tradition, hospitality and timeless beauty.
