The origins of a home of elegance 1924

In the 1920s, the Villa was born, commissioned by the construction contractor-as well as owner- Angelo Pinolini and embellisshed with the decorations of the local artist Felice Monferini. Distintive symbol of the family, the pine recurs as an ornamental motif in the undergutters of the main body and the tower. Inside, egyptising frescos with geometric greeks and wavy lines interrupted by lotus flower palms tell the refined taste of the time.

A new life for the Villa 1992

In 1992 the Villa was purchased by the Bezzoli family, who with passion and respect for the history of the building started an important restoration project. The renovations restore splendour to the original environments and transform into an elegant and welcoming residence, with seven apartments with attention to details and designed to offer guests the comfort and atmosphere of a house on Lake Maggiore.
