The desire to have a house in Italy started in 2000, when we came into possession of one with friends. forest area on the Lago Maggiore incl. a strip of land directly on the Lago. On it were a number of Rusticos (from the 13th century). We were allowed to rebuild this in Italian style. Making a plan, obtaining the permits took 4 years. Preparing for construction, building the house and cutting out the road 2 years. After that it's always fun in Carmine.

Thank you very much for your nice review. For a smaller dog it may be a little easier, especially if the droppings are cleaned up.
Very comfortable and complete house with nearby Cannobio, very nice town. Small disadvantage is that from home you always have to go out by car and the access to the top is quite difficult. The gardener can take care of the pat...
Thank you for your beautiful revue! The driveway had to be carved into the rock face. The advice was not to cut away more because of the stability of the rock. That's why you have to stab once in the corner. The road is cleaned...

A beautiful location with impressive "view on the lake", located between Cannobio and Cannero.
It was a very nice holiday week for us there! We found Cannero in particular a pleasure to visit and to experience the Italy fe...
