Hapimag watersports center is right by the villa, from where you can hire a pedalo, kayak or stand-up-paddle to head out on the beautiful lake. There is a new forest rope park just 10 minutes away and there is horseback riding and pony riding nearby. There is also a playground nearby.

Inside, rooms include a modern kitchen, multiple cozy and light lounges, and a separate dining room. Bathrooms include showers and baths. The bedrooms are laid out with 3 on the first floor, all with kingsize beds and a shared bathroom. On the second floor there is 1 bedroom with a kingsize bed and 2 bedrooms with a full size bed each, sleeping 1 adult per room. A basement utility area has a laundry and detergents.

Style Notes

Modern luxury. The villa was built in 1905 and served as the home of Angelo Orsi, the owner of “Spazzole Verbania”, a factory for all kinds of brushes. It is furnished with designer materials and furniture (Baxter, Cattelan, Twils, Gervasoni, etc.) as well as some original pieces, and is fitted with a modern kitchen and the latest appliances. The beautiful park and garden surrounding the property is populated by an old stock of trees, directly by Cannero Riviera harbor on Lake Maggiore. Great care was taken during renovations to ensure the villa stayed true to its original style and the flair of the past era was preserved. Ancient frescoes on the ceilings have been unveiled under thick paint and the different rooms are rid from stylistic inconsistencies of the 60’s and 70’s to restore them to their original beauty. We love the romance, style and grandeur of this truly original villa.

Ever since your family holidayed in Italy I had strong affinity to the country. Finally, in 2006 we bought a wonderful property in Cannero Riviera, at the Lago Maggiore. Whenever we strolled at the Lungolago in town, we noticed a stunning, but not inhabited villa amidst a large and wonderful park. Together with my son in law we decided to buy the property in 2016 and restore it in its original style, yet furnished modernly with all amenities of todays age. Being close to retirement age, I now enjoy offering this wonderful property to guests from all over the world and endeavor to make their stay as perfect and memorable as possible. Come and see for yourself!

Lake Maggiore, Piedmont

Ruined castles, island hopping and cable car trips

Italy's second largest lake has a wealth of fabulous enticements for families, from islands with ruined castles to cable car trips up mountains for views of the alps, cobbled streets, colorful markets and handbag shops. Active kids will love the Adventure Park in Baveno, and the beach in Cannobio is sandy and ideal for younger tots on a sunny day.

Our family had a great time at this beautiful spacious home. Every bedroom had a fan, so the lack of air conditioning was no problem during the hot weather we were there. Restaurants, cafes, and pastry shops were easily within walking distance and the offerings so delicious. The ferry and other recreation opportunities were super convenient. The lovely gardens, pool and numerous flowers gave our stay a relaxing, peaceful respite from the fast-paced world beyond. The staff answered all of our requests and questions quickly and satisfactorily. We look forward to returning for another family reunion in the future.
