Apartment in Verbania foothills

A truly lovely small duplex apartment, in a garden setting. Part of historical Villa Edera, now a small condominium of just five owners. It is situated in the historical center of Premeno, amidst opulent villas,  their gardens and magnificent parks. 

Premeno is beautifully set in the heights and vistas of Lake Maggiore.  Within a few minutes one can enjoy golf, tennis and skiing and, also, the extraordinary public park at Villa Bernocki with its esplanade café set amidst huge precious tree specimens. Numerous walks start here, leading to extraordinary views. The air is pure and the Sun superbright.

The apartment has been fully and tastefully restructured.  Windows are double glazed. It is complete with top quality brand new appliances, including Miele dishwasher, washing machine, etc. An Italian design comfortable sofa-bed is included. On the top floor an intimate and super-luminous bedroom and a bathroom (this with a view to the medieval village, church tower, and gardens). The bedroom has two generous balconies, with garden views. Public transportation is just a couple minutes away, by foot. By car and train the center of Zurich is just over four hours away. Milan, two hours, Malpensa airport, one and one half hours. Locarno, Lugano, Stresa with all their Summer festivals (from blues to classical music) are all within easy reach. “Foxtown”, a famous  fashion shopping outlet  in southern Switzerland, is easily reached in a daytrip.

For a contained  investment, one can have a permanent pied-a-terre in the pre-alpine region of North Italy.  It can be used during all seasons. The main road is permanently cleared of occasional snow (an important health center is located some miles away).  The apartment could also be easy rented to people working at the health center.

In summary, this is the ideal pied-a-terre, easily reached, with lovely surroundings, so many activities, visits, relaxation in the Lake Maggiore area.
