A few minutes from Domodossola, at the gates of the picturesque Vigezzo Valley, we offer for sale an authentic architectural gem: a refined 18th-century villa with private park, set in a picturesque historic village, guardian of timeless traditions and beauty.
The main residence, built in the Ossola and Vigezzo style, is distinguished by the elegant use of local materials such as stone, wood and finely wrought iron. The Italian-style garden that surrounds it is a riot of colours and scents, enriched by flower essences, expertly pruned hedges and shady pergolas, an ideal setting for moments of tranquillity and conviviality.

The property is completed by a charming stone tavern, perfect for summer evenings in company and for tasting a glass of the renowned local Prunent, a garage with two parking spaces, an old stone wash-house, a barn and a rustic cottage to be renovated, offering further space to be customised.
The villa is on three levels:
-
Ground floor: Entrance on the imposing stone staircase, large masonry kitchen with vaulted ceilings and marble cladding, large wine cellar, and a splendid dining room with an original 18th-century fireplace and hand-crafted French doors opening onto a panoramic terrace with breathtaking views over the valley.
-
First floor: frescoed living room with ornate marble fireplace, spacious cloakroom, elegant bathroom with Devon & Devon ceramics and painted ceiling, and a luminous master bedroom with frescoed vaulting, accessible through a rare carved portal from the medieval period.
-
Second Floor: refined study with frescoed ceiling, large bathroom with shower and a second double bedroom with pictorial decorations and a view of the granite arches of the original portico.
Outside, the cobbled courtyard hosts a magnificent portico with columns and balustrades, ideal for al fresco dining overlooking the private garden and valley. It is also possible to build a swimming pool to enjoy the summer days.
Every detail of the villa has been meticulously restored using authentic materials and traditional techniques by local master craftsmen. Inlaid wooden floors, handcrafted door and window frames, a new poplar roof and modern fixtures make this property not only perfectly habitable, but also a timeless place to retreat away from contemporary chaos.
