A prestigious 1920's Manor House which was built for Albertina Fasoli Martinengo, a descendant of the Brescia nobility.
The magnificent property is made of pink granite from the quarries of Baveno and is surrounded by 6,000 square metres of parkland with valuable trees. In addition to the main house, the property has an annex of about 80 square metres which was originally the porters lodge with it's own entrance, and a garage with parking and a cycle-wide dock with direct access to the shore, and private mooring.
The Manor House extends over four floors of approximately 120 square metres each, three are visible and accessible from the main entrance and a basement which faces the North side and the lake.
The ground floor comprises an entrance porch, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and a large double room with a superb fireplace. There is a large wooden sliding door which separates the space into two distinct areas. The dining room leads to the terrace of 150 square metres which overlooks the lake. A central corridor connects the different areas and there is a marble staircase leading to the first floor.
The first floor has 5 bedrooms, three of which have splendid lake views, ensuite bathroom and terrace. The rooms are very spacious with beautiful old parquet floors. There are fitted double glazed windows with wooden frames and shutters and a superb wooden staircase leading to the second and top floor.
The second floor has a newly renovated attic room, a library, two bedrooms, a bathroom and study. From the central corridor a staircase provides access to the tower which overlooks the villa and from which the surrounding landscape unfolds with stunning views.
The basement is accesible via the north side which overlooks the garden and which leads down to the lake shore. There is a boat dock which can accomodate two boats, a pleasant harbour which has an iron structure and wisteria and offers a comfortable and relaxing refuge from the summer heat.
