This 4,736 ft² (440 m²) six-bedroom, four-bath villa is located in Cannobio, not far from the Italian/Swiss on the western shore of Lake Maggiore. It dates back to the end of the 1800s and originally belonged to an aristocratic Franco-Italian family until 2006, when the current owner undertook a complete restoration.

The style of the past has been preserved but combined with modern features. The renovation involved the entire building, from the exterior façade to the new roof. The villa’s Carrara marble and local Luserna stone were refurbished with typical Venetian stucco. Elegant architectural details are found throughout the house, along with state-of-the-art electronic systems to control and automate the lights, appliances, heating, air conditioning, and security systems. Outside, an elegant paved avenue lined with cypress trees leads through the garden, where there are two small rustic houses, used in former years by the gardener and caretaker, both of which can be transformed into guest houses. A spacious garage for four cars and a large private dock that can accommodate three boats complete the picture for perfect lakeside enjoyment.

The town of Cannobio features abundant cafes, shops, and restaurants around the historic center and lakefront promenade, as well as being close to the Swiss border, allowing easy access to explore different cultures and Swiss destinations.
