Description
Cosy single-family home on one level with a large garden, located between Besazio and Arzo, in the charming La Montagna area, within a quiet and sunny residential neighborhood highly appreciated for its quality of life. The setting is green and secluded, with easy access to essential services and quick connections to Mendrisio and the Italian border.
The house offers a living area of approx. 135 m2, complemented by an additional approx. 53 m2 of ancillary and service rooms. The interiors are comfortable, well laid out and designed for practical and pleasant everyday living, with all main living spaces arranged on a single level.
The main floor comprises an inviting entrance hall, a spacious living area with a cosy fireplace corner and an impressive high wooden ceiling, a functional and well-equipped kitchen, three bedrooms (two of which are particularly large with high ceilings), a bathroom with bathtub, a bathroom with shower, a small storage room and access to the attic.

The plot, measuring approx. 1’050 m2 and largely flat, offers interesting potential for extensions to the house or the creation of additional comfort features such as a swimming pool or customized outdoor spaces.
The property has been carefully renovated over time, and the works carried out ensure today a well-kept, functional and welcoming living environment - ideal for those who wish to live close to nature without sacrificing comfort.
Municipality Description
Besazio is a highly regarded residential area that has formed part of the municipality of Mendrisio since 2013. It is set in a sunny, peaceful hillside location within the charming region known as Montagna. The surroundings are characterized by gentle hills, vineyards and expansive green areas, offering a high quality of life just a few minutes from the centre of Mendrisio and its main services. Thanks to its harmonious landscape and refined rural atmosphere, this area has been poetically described by a well-known writer as “the little Tuscany of the Mendrisiotto”. Numerous walking paths allow for exploring the surrounding countryside, which includes the renowned Monte San Giorgio, famous for its fossils and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The origins of Besazio are very ancient, as evidenced by the Church of Sant’Antonino dating back to the 8th century, the remains of Roman villas and tombs, and the historic baptismal font that today serves as a fountain in the spacious parish square. Historically, the village was closely linked both to agricultural activities and to the extraction and processing of the prized red Brocatello marble, which played an important role in shaping the area’s development. Today, Besazio is considered a quiet and well-integrated residential neighborhood within the Mendrisio area, ideal for those who wish to live close to nature without giving up urban convenience. Besazio has 603 inhabitants and is situated at an elevation of 497 meters above sea level.
