Charming home in an ancient village

In the ancient hamlet of Torre, on the first hills above Porto Valtravaglia, stands this enchanting residence that encloses a world waiting to be discovered, set in an atmosphere of absolute peace and quiet. The history of the house is naturally linked to that of the hamlet of Torre, which dates back to around the 9th century, and to the picturesque area that hosts it. Its elevated position over the lake and the layout with the ring of walls formed by the houses bear witness to traces of history, now preserved thanks to renovations that have not altered its character, while also safeguarding its privacy and the silence of the past. The entrance gate leads into the inner courtyard and the garden, adorned with plants and a characteristic stone washhouse, overlooked by the old barn, now used as an outdoor dehor for welcoming guests, equipped with a ping-pong table and barbecue. From the side portico one enters the main villa, arranged over four floors served by an internal lift. On the ground floor there is a hobby room with vaulted ceiling and exposed brick, used as a billiard room, and the large kitchen with its impressive original stone fireplace. Five bedrooms are located on the three upper floors, in addition to a small apartment (approx. 35 sq m) with a double bedroom, bathroom and fully equipped eat-in kitchen, accommodating up to 16 people. There are also numerous living areas: on the second floor, a lake-view lounge houses the living room, while on the third floor there are two more lounges, again with fireplace and panoramic views, finished with fine materials and architectural details that combine the charm of the past with modern comforts. The residence overlooks a large, level garden, well planted and enriched with botanical varieties and fruit trees. The swimming pool is also here: an ideal place to relax on warm summer days and entertain guests. Adjacent to the property there is also the possibility of purchasing a three-storey rustic building, overlooking the inner courtyard and, from the upper floors, the lake, to be renovated should additional space be desired. The lake, with its beaches and all services, is just 5 minutes away.
