Albergo Stazione’s story

Hotel Stazione from 1910 to the present

The Hotel was built about 1910, and was originally called “Hotel de la Gare,” built by my great-grandfather, Mr. Guzzi Lorenzo (1847 – 1927).

Upon his death, it passed into the hands of my grandfather, Mr. Guzzi Arturo (1885 – 1946).

On December 21, 1946, the hotel was sold to Sassigrossi SA for the price of 70,000 francs and the name was changed to “Albergo Monteforno.”

In the 1950s, the hotel was expanded with a new building used as a movie theater called “Cinema Fax.” After the advent of television, the hall was remodeled and used for parties and fabulous carnival galas.

Further renovation of the hall took place in the 1990s, turning it into a disco and multipurpose hall.

On Dec. 19, 1997, the hotel returned to the hands of the Guzzi family with the purchase by my father, Mr. Guzzi Alberto (1919 – 2008), and the name of the hotel was restored to its original Italian-language name, “Albergo Stazione.”

In 2023/2024, the hotel was completely renovated with a new design of the roof facade, rooms, as well as the addition of solar panels and improvements in the services offered.
