MIASINO – House to Renovate in the Heart of Carcegna

In the ancient heart of Carcegna, a small village nestled in the first hills above Lake Orta, awaits a home steeped in history, silence, and memories. An authentic place, where every stone tells a story and every corner invites you to dream.

This rural property is an invitation to rediscover the past with fresh eyes, to bring back to life period details such as the old stone well in the courtyard or the time-worn stone staircase. It is a home that simply asks to be listened to, lived in, and loved once again.

Access is through a gate that opens onto the charming Piazza Nicolazzi, recently renovated with river cobblestones and vintage-style street lamps that evoke the charm of a bygone era. As you step through the entrance, you enter another world—one of tranquility, light, and understated beauty. The courtyard is shared with a second residential unit.

The spaces speak of a slow and welcoming rhythm:

• On the ground floor, the kitchen and living room open onto the courtyard, ready to become the vibrant heart of the home. Nearby, the old stable has been transformed into a cellar with a hayloft above, along with two more rooms full of potential.
• A stone staircase first leads to an intermediate room, then to the first floor, where a balcony provides access to two bedrooms overlooking both the internal courtyard and the square, along with a bathroom.
• At the top, a final floor reveals views over the village rooftops, the church… and a romantic glimpse of the lake that suddenly appears, like a shared secret.

This is not just a house. It is a dream waiting for someone who knows how to embrace it.

Perfect to become an artist’s residence, a soul-soothing retreat, or a charming B&B ready to welcome travelers in search of authenticity.

Where is  “MIASINO – House to Renovate in the Heart of Carcegna”?

Miasino is a village on the first hill of Lake Orta, has about a thousand inhabitants and is 479 metres above sea level.

Of ancient origin, Miasino, like other neighbouring towns, was part of the great bishop’s fiefdom of the Riviera di San Giulio during the Middle Ages.

In addition to the parish church, one of the most valuable buildings in the village is undoubtedly Villa Nigra, of 16th-century origin but enlarged in the 17th and 18th centuries, an example of a noble country residence. It now houses a good restaurant in its splendid setting.

Carcegna is a small village located above the eastern shore of Lake Orta, at an altitude of 490 metres. Administratively a hamlet of the municipality of Miasino, it has 260 inhabitants, called Carcegnesi. Its patron saint is St Peter and is celebrated on 29 June.

Archaeological excavations have brought to light Gallic, Gallo-Roman and Etruscan remains. On the outskirts of the village there are remains of a fortification, probably of Lombard origin. The village is mentioned in the ‘Liber Cleri’ as dependent on the parish church of San Giulio di Orta in 1133.

There is a rich selection of agritourisms and trattorias nearby, where you can discover local recipes and products.

For essential services, however, you will have to travel to the nearby towns of Miasino or Armeno.
