Dream Object... Casa al Torchio - Modern living in historic walls of an old wine press

Large village house with outbuildings, romantic inner courtyard, garage and direct access

A home for the large family, guests and friends who love the special ....

This exceptional property, which consists of a total of 3 buildings, is located in the Nucleo, the romantic village center of Gordola, a very popular and well-organized municipality on the west shore of Lake Maggiore. 

Gordola offers with its perfect infrastructure of shops, services, schools and public transport all the amenities for a comfortable living.

The Casa al Torchio has its name due to the second-oldest wine press in Ticino, which is still very well preserved in one of the building parts.

With a lot of love for detail and careful maintenance, the owners have created a home here over the last few decades, where the whole family has met for holidays to celebrate life, or also to find distance from everyday life in these charming walls. The generosity of the property allows many different living models - everyone will find their favorite place here.
