Ca’ Negra

The Do-Minus | Design Retreats & Spa | Collection offers exclusive spaces that combine nature,
wellbeing, and design, promoting a vision of sustainable tourism.
Cà Negra is located in the Mornera mountains, above Monte Carasso–Bellinzona, at an altitude of
1,390 meters in the Swiss Alps, and can be reached in just 15 minutes by cable car. Here, where
Alpine essence meets the Mediterranean warmth of Ticino—the Italian-speaking region of
Switzerland—Cà Negra invites you to rediscover the authentic beauty of the mountains and find
your natural rhythm once again.
This energy-self-sufficient chalet, heated with a wood fireplace and oil stove, can accommodate up
to 9 guests. It features a cozy living room with fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, four bedrooms
(one double with a French bed, one single room, and one double with French bed connecting to a
room with four single beds), one bathroom with shower, a garden with table, benches, barbecue,
and deck chairs, and a panoramic terrace offering breathtaking views of the Alps.
The private SPA, featuring a sauna under a tree, welcomes you for moments of pure relaxation.
From the warmth of the sauna to the calm of the natural lake just 150 meters away, where water
lilies drift in bloom, the SPA experience flows seamlessly into nature.
For groups of more than 9 guests, it is possible to book Cà Negra together with Cà Pedrot (6
additional beds, also part of the Do-Minus | Design Retreats & Spa | Collection), as the two
chalets are located only 50 meters apart.
Book your stay at Cà Negra for a peaceful retreat amid fir forests and alpine meadows, or use it as a
base to explore the mountain’s treasures and attractions — from Curzùtt and the 15th-century
frescoes of the Church of San Bernardo, to the Tibetan Bridge and the Via Ferrata — as well as the
entire Ticino region with its UNESCO World Heritage sites.
All historic buildings in the Do-Minus | Design Retreats & Spa | Collection have been
meticulously restored by architects Riccarda Guidotti and Andrea Frapolli. Each property has
been transformed into a holiday home that preserves the essence of traditional Ticino architecture,
enriched with contemporary details and mid-century design pieces. Every stay within the five
properties of the collection is a unique experience — whether a mountain retreat, a historic
village home, or a night aboard a sailboat on the lake — each reflects the authentic beauty and spirit
of Ticino.
