A charming place where the Cassarate River meets Lake Lugano, creating a romantic setting under the shade of three majestic centuries-old plane trees. Here, history merges with the life of the people of Lugano, offering a new culinary interpretation that celebrates the past with a fresh and contemporary vision, using high-quality ingredients preferably sourced from local suppliers. On the banks of the Cassarate River stood the Osteria del Porto, which over the years has earned the title of "Antica" (Ancient). Its centuries-old history dates back to the nineteenth century when it was a landing point for goods from barges. An Osteria, yes, but different: in tones, colors, and signs. A menu proposal between innovation and tradition, with the lake and mountains blending and meeting in the menus of Chef Domenico Rezza. We accompany the dishes with a selection of local and Italian wines, served with care by our dining staff. And then the special occasions, the happy hours, the exclusive terrace for private events. A venue constantly on the move, searching for new proposals, accompanied by smiles and authentic hospitality.

The salon is located at Via B. Varenna 94, right after pizzeria 10. Appointments can be made by phone or via WhatsApp at 079/8082503, or online at www.anibel.ch . I look forward to seeing you! SERVICES: Bathing, trimming, stripping, brushing, nail trimming. Essential care for your four-legged friend Anibel is a real wellness centre for four-legged friends where, with lots of passion and expertise, I take care of your dog. As you can well understand, it was the love for animals that gave birth to this business and secondly the profound knowledge and expertise in grooming. In fact, animals also need care and cleaning of their bodies, starting with their hair and ending with their nails and ears. In order to ensure the maximum wellbeing of our animal friends, we must therefore take care of their bodies, providing them with maximum care and hygiene. ANIBEL: BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY AND HAPPY ANIMALS At the salon I carry out dog grooming, complete washing, ear cleaning and nail cutting. My task is to make you a happy, healthy and well-groomed dog in every detail and above all with the desired appearance. I guarantee special care for your pet, which may have special needs. Grooming is performed with care and professionalism. I do not rush our four-legged friends, as washing or cutting must be a positive experience. Lucie Perruchoud with Penny ANIBEL More than just grooming HOW I TAKE CARE OF YOUR FOUR-LEGGED FRIEND Anibel's grooming service allows the animal to be washed and groomed, trying to highlight its shape. There is no single grooming, the same for all animals, but instead varies according to the breed of dog, its coat and hair. The fundamental point, the same for all animals, is instead the regularity with which grooming must be done. Periodicity ensures the dog's maximum well-being. Two other activities that I carry out regularly are stripping and trimming. The former consists of removing dead hair and must be done, in particular, on dogs with rough hair. A lot of skill and experience is required to perform this technique properly. Trimming is nothing more than a kind of "going over" that must be done at regular intervals after the main stripping session. Of course I also do nail trimming and ear cleaning. Especially for dogs that are used to living indoors and spend little time outdoors, nail trimming must be done periodically to keep the animal in good health. COME AND SEE ME I perform different cuts for all types of breeds, even the most complicated cuts. I am equipped for cuts on pets that need more attention, such as health problems or age. LET'S TALK ABOUT IT TOGETHER Washing or cutting should be a positive experience for our dog friends. Come and see me to get to know us so that your pet can have a good experience at Anibel. CONTACT Anibel's services COMPLETE WASHING We use specific products that respect the different dermatological needs. SCISSOR CUTTING Scissor cutting and trimming respecting the texture of the coat. STRIPPING AND TRIMMING Removal of dead hair and trimming which must be done at regular intervals after the main stripping session. CLEANING THE EARS Cleaning your dog or cat's ears is very important. They are a very delicate part of the body, always exposed to external agents and therefore susceptible to inflammation and pathologies of various kinds. CUTTING NAILS Dogs and cats that are used to living indoors and spend little time outdoors must have their nails trimmed periodically in order to maintain the animal's good health at all times.

For decades, the Scudellate Ostello has been a reference point for school groups and groups of friends wishing to discover the Muggio Valley region. After major renovation work on the building, the hostel is now suitable for anyone who wants to enjoy a convivial stay, surrounded by nature and characterized by a modern and youthful structure. The Scudellate Ostello is the ideal place for groups and school parties. You can book the ostello for special occasions such as birthdays, parties, sports retreats, mountain schools, team-building trips and group travel. Depending on your needs and the number of participants, the Ostello team is ready to present you with individual offers. In the picturesque village of Scudellate, located in the upper Muggio Valley, is the Scudellate Ostello. The Ostello has recently been refurbished to accommodate families, couples, backpackers, groups of friends, school groups and work colleagues who want to enjoy a stay on the slopes of Monte Generoso. The surrounding landscape is suitable for all lovers of nature and local food and wine. From here, it is possible to set off on various excursions on foot and by mountain bike between Switzerland and Italy. A dense network of paths allows you to admire the typical flora and fauna of the region. The Osteria Manciana, located just a few meters away, is happy to delight guests of the Ostello, from breakfast to dinner, with typical regional dishes and drinks. The Ostello offers two types of rooms. There are three rooms with shared bathroom and shower and one private room with its own bathroom. On the first floor of the Ostello there is a brand-new terrace with a unique view of the valley. Thanks to the youthful and versatile furnishings, guests can spend time together, relax or enjoy the breathtaking view while enjoying a local aperitif. On the ground floor there is another terrace, but this is covered and suitable for activities even if the weather is not favorable. The common room is located on the ground floor. Here guests will have the opportunity to meet, get to know each other and share their stay. As well as for socializing, this area is suitable for relaxing, working or holding meetings. Board games, books and a guitar are at everyone’s disposal. There is also the possibility of listening to music both inside and outside the building. There is also a big screen for filming or presentations. Keep an eye on the Ostello’s social profile, @OstellodiScudellate, to find out about activities and events. The building was built as the Scudellate school between 1907 and 1909 when it was inaugurated by the entire population of Scudellate and Erbonne. In fact, it initially housed the children of the two villages, which are still in Switzerland (Scudellate) and Italy (Erbonne). As many as 51 pupils between the ages of 6 and 14 attended the school every year. The infrastructure built by the local population (see original list of benefactors of 1909) remained available as a kindergarten and school from its creation in 1909 until 1965. In the upper Muggio Valley there were also other schools in Roncapiano and Muggiasca. From 1965 to 1982, the current Ostello was mainly used for local festivals, which were very popular with the population of the entire upper Muggio Valley and beyond. On 22 August 1982, the building was given a new lease of life, and after partial renovation, the Scudellate Ostello was opened and remained open all year round. From 1982 to 2019, the sole manager was Mr Guerino Piffaretti, who managed the facility in an exemplary manner, hosting several generations of young people from schools in the Mendrisiotto area and beyond. Since 2019 the infrastructure has been taken over by the Fondazione per la salvaguardia dell’alta Valle di Muggio (Foundation for the Protection of the Upper Muggio Valley), which has assembled the old facilities with a third adjacent building (former Cooperative), creating 24 beds in 4 rooms as well as new and separate toilets. The refectory and kitchen have also been modernized and made more usable not only for guests but also for meetings/presentations etc.. Finally, there has been built a magnificent terrace of approx. 35m2 offering a spectacular view over the entire Muggio Valley. On 23 July 2021, the new Ostello was inaugurated. It will be managed as part of the Albergo Diffuso of Monte Generoso with the adjacent Osteria Manciana, the Foresteria di Scudellate and the Capanna dell’Alpe Caviano.
