A rare jewel of historical elegance meets modern refinement in this grand villa, originally built in 1905 and now masterfully restored to its former glory. Nestled on a generous 3,400 square meter plot with direct access to the tranquil waters of Lake Maggiore and the charming harbor of Cannero Riviera, this exceptional property invites you to step into a timeless world of beauty and comfort.

The villa spans three floors and offers over 600 square meters of living space, meticulously redesigned to honor its architectural heritage while seamlessly integrating contemporary luxury. Original frescoes have been unveiled, ceiling heights reach nearly four meters, and 20th-century additions have been gently removed to restore the home’s authentic character.

Inside, the villa features seven beautifully appointed bedrooms and five refined bathrooms, including a guest WC. Sleeping accommodations include four spacious double bedrooms and two cozy singles, comfortably hosting up to ten guests. A grand living room adorned with turn-of-the-century ceiling paintings and a restored terrazzo floor radiates classical charm, while a bioethanol fireplace adds warmth and ambiance. A newly renovated pianoforte, a private library, and a state-of-the-art entertainment system offer refined leisure.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream, equipped with high-end appliances including dual ovens, a food center, Nespresso machine, and ample storage behind elegant cabinetry. The adjacent conservatory and dining area overlook the gardens and provide a welcoming space for gathering. Designer furnishings from Baxter, Cattelan, Twils, and Gervasoni complement restored antique pieces, achieving a balance of style and substance.

Outdoors, a symmetrically designed Italian garden unfolds with camellias, roses, palms, citrus trees, and century-old magnolias. A private park leads to a panoramic swimming pool with lake views, surrounded by sun loungers and shaded seating. Beneath a majestic camphor tree stands a long wooden table, perfect for alfresco dinners and late-summer evenings. The portico offers cool respite during the day and a romantic backdrop by night.

A private driveway with an electric gate provides discreet access and parking for two to three vehicles, while additional parking is available nearby. The property is just steps away from the heart of Cannero Riviera, where a weekly market, restaurants, cafes, and boutiques await in a charming Mediterranean setting.

Cannero Riviera’s unique microclimate brings an average temperature notably warmer than its neighbors, making it a haven for citrus trees and lush vegetation. The nearby towns of Verbania and Cannobio offer further shopping, dining, and cultural excursions.

This villa it is a piece of history, a lakeside retreat, and a work of art. Whether as a private estate or a luxurious holiday home, it promises a life of serene elegance in one of Italy’s most captivating regions.
