Villa "al Porticciolo" represents one of the most significant features of the town of Cannobio, the first municipality close to the Swiss border, only 25 minutes by car from Locarno (CH).
The property stands in the heart of Cannobio's lakefront in front of the old harbour that once housed the boats of the town's fishermen, who fuelled its economy. It enjoys a privileged position a stone's throw from all the lakeside bars and restaurants, without ever forgetting the sporting soul that has always accompanied Cannobio in many forms. (sailing, kitesurfing, etc.).
The villa, once the property of the former mayor of Cannobio, has preserved its structure and layout over the years, even conserving some important details hidden within its various rooms.
Due to its historical value, there is a need for modernisation to make the Villa usable and energy efficient even in winter (no work has been done in past years). There is also a project for the construction of an external or internal lift, as well as a plan for the division into flats of different sizes. Finally, the property benefits from a double garage serving the house 120 metres away from the front door, which can be reached through a promenade in Cannobio's characteristic street called La Streccia.
If you are looking for a villa with a historical character, in the heart of the town centre and lakefront but still close to Switzerland and the border, with ample square footage and an enviable lake view, this property represents a unique and prized piece of property for anyone wishing to fit into the urban context of Cannobio.
