La Magotina

for your holidays between lake and mountains

A bit of history

Grandfather Romualdo, thanks to a lottery win, managed to buy land and a car: a "FIAT Topolino". In those days there were only three cars in the village! A land of about 700 square meters, with a vineyard (today there are some vines), and a farmhouse, where a barn and a chicken coop have been created. In the family that land has always been referred to as The Magotina. The son Giulio, bricklayer, over the course of several years will renovate the farmhouse, also building a new villa at the side. Maurizio, nephew of Romualdo, lived here for many years, till he moved to the villa, so decides to propose it as a holiday home, well understanding the great qualities of that place, in which he has fortune to live.

The location

On the hill just five minutes from the lake, the Magotina offers an unparalleled view of Montisola and Lake Iseo. In winter you can admire the snowy peaks of the highest mountains to the west, in summer after short showers, often you can admire a rainbow, sometimes two, crowning the entire Montisola. The village on the lake can be reached via two pedestrian paths: a small road with a staircase, with spectacular lake view, or a wider cobblestone path. You can therefore choose to take a walk to the village, to continue on the lakefront or simply sit for a drink at the local bars.

Interiors of good taste

Casa Magotina is obtained from the renovation of the old farmhouse, while apartment Novecento was born from the large tavern, which was a floor of the manor house. Inside the Novecento apartment some historical objects are displayed: it recalls atmospheres of other times, for a particular furnishing. From Casa Magotina you can wake up and look out to admire the lake from the small windowsill. With the external walls almost entirely in stone, it has an internal corner of the same material, as well as having decorations in tree trunk, taken directly from the territory. The stairs are decorated with a railing and arches in red brick. The accesses are independent from the manor house.

Tranquility

It is possible to relax inside the Magotina, which includes a large green space, with various fruit plants. Casa Magotina has a pergola overlooking the lake, while from the Novecento apartment the lake can be admired less directly, but enjoys more green space, just outside the room. Here rosemary and sage bushes perfume and offer themselves... to flavor the recipes. The particular climate of Tavernola is mild in winter and cool in summer, making it possible to sleep without air conditioning, even with open windows, given the absence of mosquitoes.

Services

A five-minute walk away there is a small supermarket, very convenient for everyday shopping. You can leave your car comfortably in the parking lot, there are three parking solutions nearby, serving the sports field, where you can always find a free space. The quiet area away from places with higher tourist numbers ensures safety and tranquility.
