Description

In the ancient village of Torre, on the first hills of Porto Valtravaglia, stands this enchanting house, which encloses a world waiting to be discovered, immersed in a context of absolute peace and tranquillity. The history of the house is, of course, linked to that of the village of Torre, which was founded around the 9th century, and to that of the picturesque territory in which it is situated. Its position overlooking the lake and the layout of the house, with its circular walls, are testimony to the traces of history that have been preserved thanks to renovations that have not altered the character of the house, while at the same time preserving the privacy and tranquillity of the past. The entrance gate leads to the courtyard and garden, decorated with plants and a characteristic stone wash-house, overlooked by the old barn, now used as an open-air reception area for guests, equipped with a ping-pong table and barbecue. The side porch leads to the main villa, which is spread over four floors and served by an internal lift. On the ground floor there is a hobby room with vaulted ceiling and exposed brickwork, used as a billiards room, and the large kitchen with its imposing original stone fireplace. There are five bedrooms on the three upper floors and a small living area (approx. 35m2) with a double bedroom, bathroom and fully equipped kitchen, which can accommodate up to 16 people. On the second floor there is a living room with a view of the lake, while on the third floor there are two other living rooms, also with fireplaces and panoramic views, decorated with fine materials and architectural details that combine the charm of the past with modern comforts. The residence overlooks a large flat garden, well planted with herbs and fruit trees. There is also a swimming pool: an ideal place to relax on hot summer days and to entertain guests. Within the property there is also a two-storey rustic house, overlooking the inner courtyard, to be renovated should further space be desired. The lake with its beaches and all services are only 5 minutes away.

Location: Porto Valtravaglia, Lombardy

Porto Valtravaglia is on the Lombard shore of Lago Maggiore, 5 minutes from Luino. Porto Valtravaglia is a wonderful village on Lago Maggiore. Here the Lake has crystal-clear waters and a panorama on the surrounding hills. It is a famous lakeside resort thanks to its beaches and beautiful landscapes, which allow you to organize boat trips or walks in the mountains. Picturesque hamlets, the marina, the ancient wash-houses, churches and historic buildings make this town a wonderful place to live. Porto Valtravaglia offers all the amenities and is connected to Milan and to the nearby Switzerland thanks to the railway station, moreover through the port you can reach all Lago Maggiore wonders. Not far we find Luino with all its tourist attractions and amenities. Luino is characterized by history and culture with an inclination for literature. Luino is famous for its new and wonderful lakeside with two playgrounds, an aerial bridge on the Lake, and a beach, “Le Serenelle”, recently certificated for its excellent bathing levels. Other beach, not too far away from Luino, is in Colmegna hamlet, famous for its crystal-clear waters. A walk through the historical centre, with the narrow uphill streets, the Renaissance and Baroque palaces, the arcades of the inner courtyards, the artisan workshops and shops, is also very beautiful. One of the main attractions is the market on Wednesdays, one of the main events in Luino. Actually, it is a real weekly fair, with more than 350 stands along the downtown streets and along the Lake. For sport and Lake lovers, there is also the Upper Verbano Sailing Centre, one of the very first on Lake Maggiore, where you have the possibility to hire a speedboat. Not far from Luino, in Maccagno, we can find the little Forcora Ski Resort.
