FOR SALE
Small lower alpine airb&b super host traditional home in Italy

Open to offers around 80,000 Euros, a small, cosy, two-bedroom home with ‘all-day-sun’ balcony in the
Cervo Valley, NW Italy.
Equi-distant from Switzerland, Turin, Milan Malpensa airport and Milan (within an hour and a half of each)
is a traditionally built, small home for sale. The house is advertised on Airb&b currently in Miagliano, and
has been rented out every week since the beginning and currently is still occupied by guests to date
ongoing. The house is sold as a ‘going-concern’ with the option to take-over the rental business, or
equally, to retain the property for the owner’s sole use. The property can be viewed currently on Airb&b
under the title: ‘Compact cosy chalet in the Italian Alps’. I currently am granted superhost status for my
property grading and reviews.
The accommodation includes a single bedroom with a balcony which is exposed to the sun from dawn till
dusk. It is possible to relax on the balcony and gain a tan in January. It is accessible through the single
bed window. At night the balcony is lit by solar lights. This allows a dreamy and magical view of the
looming Alps from the balcony’s twinkling lights as you can sit with all the mats and cushions provided
for lazy, end of the day thoughts with a drink and conversation.
The double bedroom faces the narrow streets where the alpine cows can be heard passing with their
cowbells. All the furniture is built in. The mattress was bought seven months ago.
The bathroom is typical of alpine chalets. There is a sink, toilet and sit-down bath with a shower head for
rinsing. There is a lit bathroom mirror along with the central light.
The short wooden staircase has a banister made of two vintage cross-country skis and on the other, a
rope banister for security. The house was renovated in the 1960’s and it has been renewed in the last
seven years of ownership.
The living kitchen area has an IKEA sofa which will operate as a single bed or double depending on need.
There is a kitchen table in the kitchen area.
The house will be sold with all contents including most art and decorations on the wall. The washing
machine is new. The microwave has rarely been used. It operates as a grill too. There is a new induction
hob with extractor hood. The kitchen was renewed when the property was bought previously. The balcony
has been rebuilt this year. The roof is sound and has been regularly checked.
The property is joined on to a small church and overlooks typical alpine houses in a very small hamlet.
From the house, you can hear the cowbells, the small river and view the thick deciduous trees. A ten-
minute walk down the hill will provide two small shops, a bar and the bus stop. The bus regularly will
travel to Biella, the wool industry capital of Italy. The location of the property is best appreciated with a
car. However, many, including myself have stayed happily for many months on foot and using the bus.
The same bus will travel to Piedicavello, a famous, beautiful tourist spot which hosts seasonal events,
and is located at the end of the road. Beyond here, the Alps become inaccessible to human habitation but
offer stunning scenery all around the Cervo Valley. The river is popular for swimming, the very large flat
rocks are excellent to sunbathe and take a dip in the water when the heat of the summer sun is at its
hottest. As a Scot, I spent every late evening bathing in the water pools, washing my hair, swimming,
floating and looking up to a full moon hovering between the Alps folding across one another. This
property is in the region of Lakes Orta, Maggiore and Como. On the edge of Biella sits all the factory
shops of brand names and designer cut Italian clothes and accessories including a rich selection of
cashmere at cut-down prices unknown in other countries.
The property is on the lower Alps 500 metres above sea level. Walks around the area include steeper
walks for the sporty and flat stretches for those who simply love nature and scenery. Around you, you will
be able to see rural life where house holders have pigs, cows, goats, cats and dogs. Beyond this daily
life, towering behind it all are the Alps.
The weather is generally sunny with clear blue skies even in winter. There is skiing available within a half
hour drive, just as there is Oasi Zegna for nature lovers who can stand and view the Swiss Alps which
join the Italian Alps.
Biella is a large town which is on the flat, although a free funicular can take visitors up to the old town.
Biella was originally a mill town creating a woollen industry for making clothes. Fila is the sports brand
which originated in Biella. Menabrea is the beer now world renowned and is brewed in Biella. At
Christmas Via Italia has scarlet red carpets running down both sides of the street and the shops entertain
small wooden gnomes which you view as you walk around. There is a small but beautiful park in the
centre of town where cafes, squirrels, birds and the chatter of Italians taking an espresso can be seen as
you watch the world go by. Biella is a functional town which offers everything that you might need with
the knowledge that a ten-minute drive allows you to disappear into the peace of nature.
As this is an Italian property, the seller is prepared to assist the buyers with setting up utility bills, and
banking to manage the property.
The contents remaining in the property are left with a rental business in mind. Therefore, the linen with
changes and towels with changes are all left intact as is the cutlery, plates etc. In other words, the
property will be left ready for a move in situation whether it is sold as a home or for rental as it currently
is at the moment.
The projection from airb&b and Travelnest, including Tourist Information Biella is that the rental prices
can increase. These were kept moderate to test the market. However, there has been a constant flow of
bookings with some guests having to be turned away. Therefore, my experience is that it is successful as
a year-round rental business.
Any enquiries can be directed to . I will be glad to offer additional
information.
