Property description
The majestic Villa Cardarelli built in 1930 by its creator and owner Dino Cardarelli together with his trusted architect Barbieri is the result of the desire to build a property in harmony with the place; the protagonists are: stone and wood used with balance and awareness. Cardarelli chose Premeno: he decided that it was the right place to build his unique and extraordinary Villa that would dominate Verbano Lakes, at an altitude of 900 meters on Lago Maggiore surrounded by total privacy. Park and woods surrounding the property cover an area of about 9 hectares, characterized by roads and paths, inside there are also small stone shelters; there are two private water sources for the villa. Inside, too, the villa has been designed to be majestic, using wood and stone, but at the same time it denotes a more sober character. Artists over the years have been invited as guests by the owners, and have contributed to adding valuable exterior paintings. Among these Ferruccio Ferrazzi and Carlo Fornara. The villa boasts three levels, on the ground floor the living area with kitchen, dining room, living room and reading room; at the entrance a fine marble staircase leads to the upper floors, where we find five bedrooms, from which you have a magnificent view and two bathrooms. In the basement, the cellars, and a garage accessible via a beautiful driveway made of granite slabs. The annex built in 1950, a part of it is inhabited by an expert and reliable caretaker, who is permanently living here; offers kitchen, living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. While another part of the annex is partly to be renovated.
