Apartment 10: large apartment with lake view terrace

Arizzano is a small municipality of nearly 2,000 inhabitants located along the via Nuova Intra – Premeno, a road artery connecting Verbania and Lake Maggiore to the mountain resort of Premeno. Situated at an altitude of about 500 m above sea level and bathed in sunlight, this small municipality can be described as a balcony over Lake Maggiore, thanks to its breathtaking panoramic view where the green mountains embrace the crystal-clear waters of the lake and iconic places in the area such as 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 of Lake Maggiore, periodically coming under the rule of the Milanese families of Visconti and 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, one can visit the Parish of San Bernardo, a late baroque church built in the seventeenth century on the remains of an old oratory, housing a wild marble sink but, above all, beautiful modern mosaics that adorn its interior walls and floor. Located in the square of the former municipal palace, we find the monumental mosaic titled Arizzano created by Walter Ferrarini with precious materials like Venetian enamels and gold. Divided into panels, the mosaic represents the history of Arizzano through real and symbolic images. In the area of the Mills, on the border with the municipalities of Bee and Ghiffa, hiking enthusiasts can take the trail called “Little Tibet” and, after an energizing ascent, reach the renowned Albagnano Meditation Healing Center, or follow the road leading to Ghiffa and then venture into the trails starting from the Caronio district leading to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Sacred Mount of the Trinity. Thanks to the excellent sun exposure, the presence of essential services such as the post office, kindergartens, and small artisanal businesses, and its strategic location for reaching Verbania and all the city's services in 5 minutes by car, over the years Arizzano has become a particularly sought-after residential location for those wishing to find a sunny corner of peace from which to contemplate the crystal-clear waters of Lake Maggiore just a few minutes from the amenities of central Verbania.
