About this property
A 17th century residence in the Lake Maggiore area
Welcome to Antica Casa Porrani, a charming 17th-century historic residence covering approximately 300 m². The house is named after the Porrani family, who have lived here since its construction, and whose descendants are still the current owners. One of the most distinctive features of the property is the portico, which houses an ancient, still-functioning well — a living testament to the home's long history.
The house is rented in its entirety, though only the areas shown in the photos and described in this listing are accessible to guests.
On the ground floor, you'll find a spacious eat-in kitchen of about 50 m², fully equipped for all your needs, a cozy living room with a sofa, armchairs, and desks, and a bright dining room — perfect for sharing meals together.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms: 3 with a double bed and one with two 19th-century single beds. All rooms feature private bathrooms that have been recently renovated and offer modern comfort. Upon request, an extra bed can be added in each room for children up to 15/16 years of age.
The entire house overlooks a large private garden of 800 m² — an ideal green space to unwind in during the warmer months. Guests are welcome to use the outdoor furniture provided, including benches, deck chairs, and dining tables, to fully enjoy the peace and nature that surround the property.
