Historic Village House in the Heart of Puria - Valsolda

A Family Treasure Since 1400
In the heart of Puria, one of the charming villages of Valsolda, lies this extraordinary family home with roots dating back to the medieval era. A heritage passed down through generations, seemingly dating back to the 1400s, cherished by our family for at least the time of our great-grandparents. Puria is located on Lake Lugano, just 30 minutes from Menaggio on Lake Como. Valsolda is a unique "out-of-this-world" municipality celebrated in literature as the "Little Ancient World".

Location and Atmosphere
Located almost in the center of the village, this residence is reached on foot through the characteristic alleys of the village. Despite its central location, the house offers an incredible feeling of peace and quiet, far from the chaos of modern life. An authentic refuge where time seems to have stood still.

The Structure

Ground Floor
On the ground floor, on the left of the external stone staircase, there is a large basement characterized by the presence of a small historic fountain.

First Floor
A stone staircase leads to the first floor of the house. A small entrance hall welcomes guests: on the left is a newly renovated bathroom, while continuing you enter the heart of the house - a large kitchen with a large fireplace and a suggestive antique terracotta floor. The beamed ceilings give warmth and authenticity to the spaces, while two windows overlook Via per San Rocco.

Second Floor
From the entrance hall on the first floor, a stone staircase leads to the second floor where two accesses open: on the left, a small bedroom with a window overlooking Via per San Rocco; from the other door, you access a mini apartment consisting of a main room used as a bedroom-living room and a second room, added in recent decades, with a habitable kitchenette and large, bright windows.

Third Floor - Attic
A steep staircase leads to the top floor, where there is a delightful mini attic apartment. The entrance opens onto a living room-kitchen with a window-door overlooking Via per San Rocco. To the left, a door leads to a double bedroom; to the right is a small bathroom. Continuing, you access the jewel of this floor: a terrace with breathtaking views towards Castello and a suggestive portion of the lake.
