Historic Church and Cellars

LVG Hotel Collection - Il Chiostro

A church inside the Chiostro

The Chapel, built in the rooms of the ancient reffectory of the monastery, of which the essential structures have been recovered (columns, stone floor, granite portals), has been enriched with artisanal and artistic furnishings of great value, a Mascioni organ and, recently, with a precious “Via Crucis” from the local artist from Cusio Mauro Maulini.

History and arrangement of the Church

At the entrance there is a beautiful S. Agostino from 16th-17th century sculpted in the wood. On the wall behind the altar a cross from the 16th century with an intense expression, coming from the region of Novara. Just after the entrance, on the left side you can find a fresco of Madonna and child coming from the church of Madonna della Neve in Suno, restored and saved from destruction. A stained-glass window from England, given by Carla Sutermeister Contractor descendant from the homonymous family who lived in the Monastery in the 19th century, filters the light from the portico.

The history continues in the cellars

Il Chiostro Hotel has a centuries-old history full of charm and significance. In the most ancient part of the location a place has stayed quite the same during the centuries: the ancient cellars. Only entering this place you can feel the scent of ancient times and tradition, a unique mix that reminds the past. Usually these rooms are used for aperitifs, refreshments, buffets and degustations of local products like regional wines, cold cuts and cheeses from the Ossola Valley and other typical products from the territory.
