The creation of the Locanda Sant’Anna drives back in the middle of 19th century from the “curia” of Rome. The Locanda was devoted to the short journeys and meditation periods of the priests. In 1937 the priest, sold the locanda for 17.000 lira , today a ridiculous sum of money , but for this period a quite large amount . Elena and Ernesto Peroni became the new owners of this property.Their son Alessandro, tripping around the world learned a lot by working on cruise, later he came back to Argegno, married Giuseppina Bianchi and together they opened and restaurant and bar in Argegno (Actually Albergo Argegno ) , on the lake of Como. In the following years they will give birth to Celestina , Paolo , Alberto and Elena , whom will grow up among restaurant tables and pans and later will help their father Alessandro in the locanda’s gestion. IN 1998, the family decided to refurbish completely the locanda , but at the same time trying to keep the original and characteristic features of the property. They also added all the amenities important for modern time and obtained a three star level. After one year of hard work , they finally inaugurated the new Locanda Sant’Anna on 13 August 1999.
