About this property

Your place at the Ticino sun!

This listed 'Borgo' around the central Ticino 'Palazzo' with other apartments - built as early as 1522 as one of the first stone houses in Vallemaggia - was built in 1746 even this smaller "Casetta" with its own yard.

In it you, your loved ones or friends can sunbathe in deckchairs under vines and kiwis in the chirping of birds and rushing of the nearby waterfall. Protected by stone walls and hand-decorated terracotta vases, in the beguiling scent of lavender, you discover the Italian "Dolce far niente" during extended siestas - because the miracle of the time only shows itself without a clock!

But you can also develop countless sporting and cultural activities in the original natural arena of Maggia Valley and nearby Lake Maggiore - from daring canyoning and diving in wild ravines, contemplative hiking through chestnut forests in search of goblins and elves, cycling through pretty villages and quiet Side valleys, until sunbathing on the sandy beach or on glistening granite rocks, where you look out of bliss at so much sun with a deep sigh the sheep in the blue sky and the circling eagle during his aerobatics in the thermals.

Archaic and lunar, nature and culture, tradition and avant-garde can be found here after a short drive next to each other. Because so much sun makes you hungry at international festivals for film, jazz, blues, classical music and theater. Bucolic and culinary tempt you in numerous romantic Grotti and dignified restaurants. Such diversity inspires again and again artists from near and far, philosophers and poets of world renown. This magical landscape was also the cradle of the legendary "Monte Verità" - the mountain of truth. There is something on that!

The magical light of the south flows into the cozy, modern equipped kitchen. The open fireplace not only allows indoor barbecues on rare rainy days. In the flickering firelight, while bats are buzzing through the night, they can also tell stories of love and robbery. As if you were once again at the feet of the Nonna.

The sofa bed of the kitchen on the ground floor is also sufficient for togetherness. Shower / WC with own washing machine. Separate oven with timer.

A spiral staircase leads to the upper floor and bedroom with double bed. It also serves as a library of exquisite books - for "noblesse oblige", and as another living room with an open fireplace. You can not sleep more romantically, it can not crack between lovers! - The morning after, welcome the sun on the balcony at the Tête-à-Tête with fresh bread from the village bakery! Or you say goodbye to the happiness-filled day in the sunset with a Campari soda.

Usually a retired teacher travels all around the world! Instead my mother created an unique place in the world for travelers from all around the world. They visit our beautiful land house plenty of history and arts. They enjoy the wild, magic nature just around the corner. And most of our guests always return. You will get in love too!

The Owner purchased this chateau / country house in 1980

Why they chose this property

"Reach the land of your desire." Rainer Maria Rilke

"In an old house you may forget about time and meet eternity in its stead. The presence of history has nothing to do with honour of fame, but with respect for generations of people with their modest but true lives. Their dignity, their tears and laughters are engraved on the walls."

Hermann Hesse
