Casa Al Portico

The historic four-story building lies at the outskirt of the old village center of Novaggio a lively village in the hills of the Malcantone. Shops, restaurants, a bank, an ice-cream parlour, doctors and the stop of 4 postal bus lines are less than a five-minute walk away.

In 1997 and 2015 the house was carefully renovated. It now combines the charm of historic structures with modern design. It can be separated in two individual apartments or can be rented as a whole (special price).

On the ground floor there is a studio with a fireplace, a comfortable sofa bed that sleeps two and a separate bed. The simple kitchen and a big dining table are placed in an atmospheric cellar vault, which opens to the living room. A modern bath with a shower and an entrance hall with a wardrobe complete the apartment. A patio facing southeast and a garden at the northeastern side of the house invites one to spend time outdoors when the sun shines.

The raised ground floor contains a big and cosy open space kitchen with a fireplace, a long table and a sofa. In the adjoining sitting room there are a bed, two armchairs and a small TV. The bathroom features a shower, a washbasin and a toilet. On the terrace which faces south and borders a little garden one can enjoy fresh air and sunshine. On the first floor there are two big bedrooms with a double bed in each of them. There is enough space for two extra beds. Various artistic wall paintings give the house a special touch. From the typical open loggia under the roof one can enjoy the view over the surrounding hills and villages protected from sunshine or rain. You can also make your own pizza in a traditional wood-burning oven or simply enjoy the “dolce-far-niente” in some comfortable lounge chairs.

Welcome!
