In a privileged and panoramic position, within the historic medieval centre of Bee, with a magnificent view of the Borromeo Gulf, is this charming courtyard house to be renovated. The cosy terraced garden of about 400 square metres, leading to the magnificent belvedere terrace, offers relaxing corners and wonderful views. The particular dwelling features spacious rooms perfectly in style, with well-preserved wooden floors and ceramics, original fireplaces and high ceilings, which lend character and bear witness to a distant time charged with a nostalgic flavour. The construction of the building, which dates back to the 15th century, was followed by a renovation in the early 20th century. Since then, the property has not undergone any extraordinary maintenance and the original layout, original materials and construction solutions of the past have been maintained. The property is distributed over four levels with a total of nine rooms: living room, kitchen and dining room on the ground floor; and a total of seven bedrooms and three bathrooms on the first and second floors. The top floor is a panoramic little tower from which to enjoy a breathtaking panorama. The atmosphere of the past that you can breathe inside the residence, the tranquillity, the proximity to the services, together with the particularity of some construction and architectural features, make this Lake view Villa unique. The property is located in the charming village of BEE, which is easy to fall in love with because a simple walk through the alleys is enough to feel transported to the past. Wandering among the stones of the small houses and the historic buildings, wonderful glimpses of the lake emerge, made all the more stunning by the surprise of encountering them unexpectedly.
In the hilly area of Verbania we find the towns of Bee and Premeno located between 600m and 800m, just 20 minutes’ drive from Intra and Pallanza. These two beautiful hilly locations enjoyed a successful expansion in the early 900s, when this area became famous as “Il Paradiso dei Bambini”. Here many summer colonies for children and a lot of Villas were built in order to welcome the industrial families and the wealthy Milan-based upper-class, who were used to spend their holidays on Lago Maggiore leaving the city behind. One of the most important Villas of this period is without any doubt Villa Bernocchi, today seat of literature prizes, exhibitions and concerts, situated in a beautiful park owned by the municipality.
