Sitting on the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore, this villa is built around the view – and around the water. The pool terrace faces the lake directly, making it an easy place to lose an afternoon, while the landscaped garden keeps things lush and private behind fully fenced grounds. Inside, an open fireplace anchors the living area for cooler evenings, and air conditioning keeps every bedroom comfortable in summer. Arona's cafes and lakeside walk are 4km away, and the Colossus of San Carlo – one of the world's tallest statue interiors – is a thirty-minute walk from there. Milan Malpensa is a twenty to forty-five-minute drive, making this one of the more accessible lake villas from an international hub.
