Description
This delightful 80 square meter (approximately 900 sq.ft) apartment offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a bathtub, separate shower, WC, and bidet. The bedroom features a built-in walnut wardrobe, and the apartment is equipped with an automatic on-demand boiler for both domestic hot water and hydronic heating. Residents can enjoy a range of amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool available from June to September, and a gated property with an electric entrance and BBQ facilities. The apartment benefits from year-round sunlight.
Located in a prime area, the apartment is just 12 minutes from Menaggio on Lake Como, 8 minutes from Porlezza on Lake Lugano, and 25 minutes from Lugano, Switzerland. It is also within an hour’s drive of Milan, Malpensa Airport, and several ski resorts, with St. Moritz only two hours away. The area boasts numerous excellent local restaurants, including a great pizzeria just a 10-minute walk away. A supermarket is conveniently located 5 minutes from the apartment, and two golf courses are within a 30-minute drive. Additionally, the region offers abundant hiking trails for outdoor enthusiasts.
Villa Isella, where the apartment is situated, is perched on a private, south-facing hillside in the pre-Alps between Lake Como and Lake Lugano, offering stunning views of the Lago di Piano nature reserve. The Villa’s location, breathtaking scenery, and luxurious atmosphere make it an ideal base for exploring the Italian Lake District, the Ticino Canton of Switzerland, the Italian and Swiss Alps, and major cities such as Como, Milan, Lugano, Lucerne, and Zurich.
Dating back to the mid-17th century, Villa Isella features a private chapel dedicated to Saint Blaise, built around 1740. Once the property of Count Borromeo, a relative of St. Charles Borromeo, the Villa was a center of agricultural activity until the 20th century. In the 1960s and 1970s, it became home to the artist d'Acardi. Between 2000 and 2001, Villa Isella was completely modernized into 17 apartments, with the surrounding park landscaped and a swimming pool added. Despite these updates, the Villa retains its historic charm and timeless beauty.
The apartment, which is both smoke-free and pet-free, is located on the first floor (Primo) of the Villa, equivalent to the second floor by U.S. standards. Adjacent to Apartment 12 is the Villa Isella Chiesa, a beautiful small church owned by the Villa’s residents, which is used annually for a community celebration in honor of its patron saint. The price includes the apartment, a storage cantina, and a secure parking space.
