Historic Villa With A Panoramic View Of Lake Iseo

Villa Pincio is situated in a scenic location on a green plateau on Monte di Lovere. Thanks to its picturesque location overlooking Lake Iseo, the Bossico plateau became a highly sought-after vacation destination for the area’s affluent business elite in the second half of the 19th century.

Carefully restored in 1986, the villa stands in a commanding position and offers a panoramic view of the entire Lake Iseo, the surrounding mountains, and the villages overlooking the lake. The property is surrounded by approximately 3,500 square meters of well-maintained private land, featuring trees and shrubs. Inside, the villa retains frescoed ceilings, hardwood floors, and period details that reflect the era in which it was built.

The entrance is on the ground floor, where you’ll find the frescoed living room, the dining area, and a spacious kitchen-diner with a wood-burning fireplace. A half-bath completes this level. An internal wooden staircase leads to the first floor: four double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a terrace with a balcony overlooking the lake.

The same internal staircase also leads to a second apartment, which could be made completely independent. It is furnished and includes a kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, with another balcony offering a lake view. The parking spaces, currently uncovered, can be covered at the rear of the villa.
Heating is currently powered by LPG, but natural gas is already available just outside the gate: it would simply be a matter of bringing it inside and replacing the boiler.

At the front of the house, in addition to the view, there is a secluded garden with flower beds and a central fountain, next to which a swimming pool could be built. Alternatively, the flat, well-maintained area beside the villa, with its historic columns, is well-suited for the same purpose, also offering a view of the lake.

The 19th-century bourgeoisie built seven exclusive villas, naming the properties after Roman figures or figures from the Risorgimento, reflecting their political and patriotic ideals in favor of the unification of Italy with Rome as its capital and in support of the leading figures of the democratic and republican Risorgimento, including Giuseppe Garibaldi and Giuseppe Mazzini.
Villa Pincio is one of these residences, also included in the “Cammino dei 7 colli” nature trail. Dating back to the second half of the 19th century (built in 1800), it was commissioned by the noble Bazzini family of Lovere, who also owned the bird-catching tower located on the Dossello, not far from the villa. The structure takes its name from the park of the same name in Rome.
