3-room flat via Val di Genova 24, Carisolo

CARISOLO - At the entrance of the famous Val Genova in an elevated area with a spectacular view of the valley and the Antico Ghiacciaio delle Lobbie we offer a three-room apartment composed as follows: living room with south-facing balcony and fireplace, kitchen with window, bathroom with window and two rooms that overlook the second balcony which is also sunny and panoramic. In the basement there is a covered parking space and a cellar. The condominium consists of only six apartments.
Thanks to the traditional hospitality of its inhabitants - and because many of the valley dwellers have found their soul mate among the local beauties ;) - it is nicknamed by everyone: the "Town of Love". The beautiful town is located in a sunny position, at the entrance of the Val Genova, on the southern slopes of Cima Lancia (m 2317). It seems that its name derives from the name of the Carice, a plant that grew abundantly in the area. Near the town, on the top of the cliff overlooking the Sarca, stands the ancient church of S. Stefano. It existed in 1368 and was rebuilt in the 16th century. On the south wall are the famous frescoes depicting the life of St. Stephen, the Danse Macabre, the Seven Deadly Sins painted by Simone Baschenis in 1519. On the top of a cliff on the southern slopes of Cima Lancia stands the characteristic little church of S. Martino, of medieval origin and guarded by a hermit until 1850. From Carisolo, the road that goes up the Val Genova starts, the initial stretch of which falls within the municipal territory, until shortly before the suggestive Nàrdis waterfalls. The Carisolo Chestnut Grove, restored in 2009, was described with admiration as early as 1673 by the historian of the Council of Trent Michelangelo Mariani. This chestnut forest had a precise place in the economy of the ancient inhabitants of the place. In 1804, business partners Bolognini and Pernici opened a glass factory at the entrance to Val Genova because the area was rich in water (used to power the machinery) and wood, used as fuel for the furnaces but also for the construction of buildings; in addition, quartz was easily available in the nearby quarry in Val di Borzago and there was no shortage of manpower in the villages. The master glassmakers came from Bohemia.
