Gravedona Ref: 5561

Located in the historic centre of the hamlet of Taiana, about 1.5km from the lake and centre of Gravedona, we offer for sale a typical stone village house with balcony and lake view as well as a small annex. The property offers a about 130m2 of accommodation over two levels, plus a beautiful 60m2 stone cellar featuring an impressive vaulted ceiling with a maximum height of around 5 metres — a truly unique and atmospheric space, ideal for use as a wine-tasting room, art studio, or creative workshop. On the ground floor with a height of 2.65 metres there is a spacious and bright taverna with fireplace, a useful storage room, and a large entrance hall leading to the upper floor. On the first floor there is a fully fitted kitchen (furniture included) with two French doors opening onto a balcony with lake view, a double bedroom, and a windowed bathroom. An external laundry room is also available. The house benefits from independent central heating with methane gas. Next to the main house is a small annex of about 30m2, consisting of a hobby/storage room with wooden mezzanine and external bathroom, as well as a cellar on the ground floor and a small private courtyard. Car access is available for loading and unloading (about 50 metres from the property), and a public parking area is just 150 metres away. The house is ready to move into, offers a pleasant lake view, and is in excellent overall condition. This is a lovely investment for personal use or even to provide rental income within easy access of Gravedona and all amenities, just 15 minutes north of Menaggio and 90 minutes to Milan airports.

Casa Travella was founded in 1987 when Linda & Pietro Travella saw an opportunity to offer Italian property for sale. At this time there were very few companies that offered any property for sale in Italy. Now years later read some of their story.

The company is fronted by Linda Travella and Casa Travella started selling property on Lake Como, where Pietro was born and Linda has worked and lived. The company were able to offer advice on numerous properties and ongoing help with all aspects of the buying process. If a client wants to restore a property, then Casa Travella can source tradesmen and professionals in the area and help with every aspect of the transaction.

When the BBC were looking for someone to speak on BBC Breakfast News about European property Linda was chosen to appear live on the programme. Other TV and radio programmes followed including Radio 5 Live, and ‘I want that House’ with Mark Simpkins, where Linda appeared in 6 episodes, the last one being a live programme from Florida, where an Italian apartment was given away as a prize. Linda appeared for RTE, Irish TV and for Channel 4‘s ‘A Place in the Sun’, where she accompanied Amanda Lamb along the shores of Lake Como by boat, to show her some of the stunning villas, including the one owned by George Clooney.

The Casa Travella team are always pleased to help when clients want to buy or sell a property in Italy. The office is multilingual with English, Italian and Spanish being spoken.

Linda says: ‘I feel proud that we can offer property for sale in many areas of Italy and we are able to give clients independent and professional advice on areas and types of property to suit their budget and needs.’

The Casa Travella team look forward to helping you buy or sell your Italian home.
