Holiday apartment in Caldes: discover apple orchards, the castle and nature

Caldes welcomes you with extensive, colourful apple orchards. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Caldes can tailor their stay to suit different interests: nature, architectural heritage, active pursuits, events and local specialities shape the possible holiday experiences. Choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home thus becomes a conscious decision based on the mix of themes you want.

Castel Caldes and traces of history

In the hamlet of Samoclevo, in the municipality of Caldes, the Rocca di Samoclevo stands on the slopes of Monte Vasa. Today, it survives as a ruin. Castel Caldes was built in the 13th century. The castle contains a chapel dedicated to the Feast of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, dating from the 16th century and decorated with frescoes by the painter Elia Naurizio. According to legend, Castel Caldes was also the place where the noblewoman Olinda was held captive.

Another example of craftsmanship can be found in the cemetery church of San Rocco: it contains a wooden altarpiece attributed to the workshop of Simone Lenner. Together, these sites offer different perspectives on Caldes—from a preserved ruin and a medieval castle to sacred furnishings.

Events and experiences in Caldes

Every year in June, Caldes hosts the Arcadia Street Festival. It offers music, circus, street art and local culinary specialities. The event brings together different forms of culture and makes June a special time for anyone who would like to combine their stay with a festival.

There are also different options for active days. Caldes's forest trails can be explored on foot at any time of year. On the banks of the Noce River, the Contre leisure complex includes a rafting centre. Nature on forest trails and an experience by the river therefore stand alongside each other as clearly distinct options.

A holiday apartment in Caldes to suit your interests

When choosing your accommodation, you can first consider which of these facets should shape your holiday: walks at any time of year, culture surrounding the Rocca, Castel and San Rocco, an event in June or activities on the Noce. A holiday apartment in Caldes, just like a holiday home, can provide the setting for an individually planned stay. What matters is not a general promise, but the question of which discovery-filled days you would like to plan.

If cycling is part of your plans, the documented routes of the Val di Sole Cycle Path can help you find your bearings. The cycle path runs mostly along the Noce River: one section measures 33 kilometres from Vermiglio to Mostizzolo, while another measures 35 kilometres from Cogolo di Peio to Mostizzolo. The different lengths make comparison easier without requiring you to commit to just one tour idea.

Apples, cheese and regional impressions

The apple orchards are also reflected in Caldes's culinary experiences. During the “Mela Colgo” experience, participants could pick apples directly from the tree at Agritur Il Tempo delle Mele in Caldes. The “Con i 5 sensi tra formaggi e territorio” experience meets at Agritur il Tempo delle Mele in Samoclevo, Caldes. This gives you two different ways to explore the themes of apples, cheese and the landscape when planning your trip.
