This property is on the market for €4,500,000, listed with Stresa Luxury Real Estate.

This historic villa with a private beach is located in Cannobio, a picturesque town on the shores of north-west Lake Maggiore in Piedmont, Italy, situated just a few kilometers from the Swiss border.

Offering stunning views of the Lombardy shore across Lake Maggiore, the villa is nestled in a 3.7 acre lush park with century-old trees and comes with a lakeside garden with a dock, in need of renovation.

Meticulously renovated in 2011, the historic property has been updated for modern standards of luxury, while retaining much of its period charm, featuring an original fireplace in the reception room and original inlaid parquet floors.

The basement includes a relaxation area, a tavern, a gym, an industrial kitchen with a dumbwaiter, and two wine cellars.

The 9-bedroom villa is accompanied by a fully renovated and furnished annex with a 2 bedroom apartment and is run as a boutique bnb with a breathtaking lakeside setting in one of the prettiest towns on Lake Maggiore.

The less touristy alternative to Lake Como, Lake Maggiore has remained a hidden gem when it comes to experiencing the magic of the Italian lakes.
