Exclusive estate with outbuildings, romantic inner courtyard, garage and direct access

A home for the extended family, guests and friends who love something 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 from 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.
