A peaceful and serene part of the world. Our walking group were sorry to have to leave. The sisters are delightful and lead walking tours of the area if requested. We hiked in the mountains every day and a nun took us around the historical area of the town, pointing out places of interest. And the evenings, when we were all exhausted from the day's activities were whisper quiet. Love this place......
The picturesque and sleepy mountain village of Capo di Ponte is split by the River Oglio and surrounded by imposing mountains. A vast National Park entices nature lovers with wooded walking trails, pristine landscapes, ancient rock engravings (some 8000 years old) and an open-air museum. The village is part of the mountain community of the Valle Carmonica. The National Archaeological Park of Massi di Cemmo is also in the area. Capo di Ponte has much to interest the visitor, including ancient fountains, buildings and churches, religious artworks and a medieval monastery. The Dorothean Sisters of Cemmo run two separate guesthouses in Capo di Ponte. Both houses cater for groups (only) on a self-managed basis. Guests are encouraged to discover the beauty of their surroundings and enjoy a peaceful, fun and serene holiday. The sisters are available to assist guests at all times and all visitors are invited to join them in prayer and religious services.
