Monclassico in Val di Sole

A mountain village of antique charm

Our hotel is in Monclassico, a characteristic hamlet dating back to ancient times: in fact, the area was already inhabited in the pre-Roman period. Monclassico was particularly important during the Medieval period under the bishop's rule that at the beginning of the XIII century turned the town into one of the two main seats of the "deganìe" (at the time, from an administrative point of view, Val di Sole was divided into two areas, the upper and lower valley). In 1622 a terrible fire destroyed the town: it was then rebuilt and numerous lovely mansions were also added. It is precisely in one of these mansions that one of the most beautiful Trentino "stue" (typical in Alpine areas, it was once considered the focal point of a home, it was the only room to be heated with a wood burning stove and it was completely covered with wood paneling) which can now be found in the Tiroler Volkskunstmuseum in Innsbruck and it dates back to the XVII century. A definite must to see, located in the center of Monclassico in the square with a fountain, is a large fresco painting (more than 4 square meters) dating back to the year 1511 and commissioned after the plague in 1510 that depicts the Virgin Mary with the Holy Helpers, St. Roch and St. Sebastian.
