Apartment 12: bright four-room with magnificent lake view

Arizzano is a small town with almost 2,000 inhabitants located along the Nuova Intra – Premeno road, a thoroughfare that connects Verbania and Lake Maggiore to the mountain locality of Premeno. Situated at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level and blessed by the sun, this small town can be described as a balcony over Lake Maggiore thanks to the breathtaking panoramic view where the green of the mountains embraces the crystal-clear waters of the lake and the iconic locations of the area like the Borromean Islands and the heights of Stresa, the Lombard shore around Laveno, and the tip of Castagnola in Verbania. Founded at the beginning of the 12th century, the village of Ariciano follows the medieval history trends of Lake Maggiore, periodically falling under the dominion of the Milanese families of the Visconti and the Borromeo, and then under the wise administrative control of the Moriggia family of Frino until it became an autonomous municipality around 1723. In the center of the village, you can visit the Parish of San Bernardo, a late Baroque church built in the 17th century on the remains of an old oratory, which houses a wild marble sink but above all beautiful modern mosaics that cover its interior walls and floor. Located in the square of the former municipal building, we find the monumental mosaic titled Arizzano created by Walter Ferrarini with precious materials like Venetian enamels and golds. Divided into panels, the mosaic represents the history of Arizzano through real and symbolic images. In the Mulini area, on the border with the municipalities of Bee and Ghiffa, hiking enthusiasts can take the trail called "Little Tibet" and reach the famous Albagnano Meditation Healing Center after an invigorating climb, or follow the road leading to Ghiffa and then venture into the trails starting from the Caronio hamlet and reach the UNESCO heritage area of the Sacro Monte della Trinità. Thanks to its excellent sun exposure, the presence of essential services such as post offices, nursery schools, and small artisanal businesses, and its strategic position to reach Verbania and all the services available in the city in just 5 minutes by car, Arizzano has become a particularly sought-after residential location over the years for those who wish to find a sunny corner of peace from which to contemplate the crystal-clear waters of Lake Maggiore a few minutes from the conveniences of Verbania's center.
