Ever since Andy Warhol’s days at his Factory on East 47th Street in Manhattan, loft living—as a completely different way of living and working—has been the hottest trend.

Tennis. Close to the beach. Private parking space on the property. Pets are not allowed. Accommodates up to 4 people.

What was once considered “hip” for those breaking away from middle-class, conventional daily life is now sought after especially by those who have already made it. The appeal of lofts is based on the same features today as it was back then: Oversized windows, ceiling heights of up to approximately 7 meters, and open-concept living convey a different, new way of life. Loft living clearly resonates with the lifestyle of modern urban nomads who express their individuality through interiors that eschew wallpaper, curtains, and plush carpeting.
You can reach the town of Intra—with its picturesque old town and numerous bars, restaurants, cafés, and shops—in five minutes by car or in half an hour on foot via the beautiful old Roman road.
Housed in a former spinning and weaving mill—whose main building was constructed in the typical industrial architectural style of the turn of the century and has been preserved to this day (now a protected historic landmark)—we are pleased to offer you what is, to our knowledge, the only loft property of its kind on Lake Maggiore. The facades of the main building, with walls approximately 60 cm thick, have been completely restored. Tastefully furnished with great attention to detail and well-equipped, the loft features ceiling heights of up to 7 meters, cast-iron columns, and massive iron windows and French doors. From the spacious south-facing terrace—which is part of the approximately 100 m² loft and features a charcoal grill—you can enjoy a rarely beautiful view of the lake in full sunshine. The loft is located on the first of two floors and can be reached either via the staircase or conveniently by elevator. Another highlight is the approximately 40 m² private rooftop terrace that comes with the apartment, featuring a stunning view of the lake—which you can also reach by elevator. There, you can enjoy the sun all day long. About 300 m away is the La Selva vacation complex, featuring a large swimming pool (approx. 25 m x approx. 12 m, open from around mid-June to around early September—free for loft guests) with changing rooms and a snack bar, deck chairs and umbrellas (for a fee), as well as tennis courts (also for a fee). The public beach, which has a bar, is just under 400 m away. A private parking space is available on the property. Layout of the loft:
