Casa Fresco: 400 year old historical gem

Just sit back, let your imagination run wild and listen to the stories of the centuries-old stone walls. Immerse yourself in another world. This is what the Casa Fresco, a 400-year-old wine cellar wants to seduce you to, just a stone's throw from the shore of Lake Maggiore. Let yourself be captured by the charm of the old mountain village on one of the most beautiful lakes in Italy. The space After a 400-year slumber, Casa Fresco was awakened in 2019 and meticulously designed with love. Nestled on the outskirts of a quaint village, the house boasts magnificent high ceilings. The bedroom and bathroom are situated on separate levels, accessed by a charming spiral staircase. However, due to it's narrow design, the staircase may not be suitable for young children. Step through the back door and discover a charming courtyard awaits you. While it's tempting to remain cocooned within the comforts of the house, a plethora of activities awaits just outside its doors: swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, or leisurely boat rides on the lake; exhilarating mountain biking trails; scenic hikes in the surrounding mountains or the pristine natural sanctuary of Val Grande; and exploring the enchanting villages dotting the landscape. Guest access During your stay, you'll have full access to the entire space. It's important to note that our guests also share access to a delightful communal courtyard with another apartment, adding to the charm and social atmosphere of the property. The courtyard features a serene fountain and comfortable seating, creating an inviting space for relaxation. Guests are welcome to interact with others in the courtyard, or if preferred, they can enjoy their privacy and keep to themselves. Other things to note According to Italian law, it is necessary to present the ID's of any guests staying at the property upon check-in to register them at the police station. Whether for swimming, kayaking, motor boating or paddle boarding - the lake has something to offer for everyone. Casa Fresco has it right at its feet, so to speak. It is just 70 meters to the jetty and a little further south there is a small beach, which is also within easy walking distance. Our kayaks and standup paddle boards can be rented by the hour or by the day. Shuttle trips to the nearby train station in Verbania or to Malpensa Airport can also be arranged. A bus stop is located right in front of the house.
