Villa in Lesa with pool and spectacular view

This small municipality is located on the Piedmontese shore of Lake Maggiore, partially hilly and overlooking the lush shores of the lake. Tranquility and nature are what distinguish the town of Lesa, situated a few kilometers from the renowned city of Arona. An important tourist center, well connected to the main motorways, close to Malpensa and 60 km from Milan, Arona lies on the Piedmontese shore of Lake Maggiore. A town with a rich history, Arona was long in the hands of the wealthy and powerful Borromeo family: Saint Charles Borromeo was born here, in the castle, in 1538. In the town, there are many churches and squares, among which the church of SS. Martyrs, with its 15th-century frescoes of the Leonardesque school, and the Collegiate Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary are worth remembering. Moving to the medieval heart of the town, we discover Piazza del Popolo, with its ancient-flavored houses and the pier, on which stands a small lighthouse, a favorite spot for tourists. However, the most important and fascinating monument of Arona is undoubtedly the statue of Saint Charles Borromeo, which, with a height of about 35 meters, ranks as the second tallest statue in the world that can be visited inside, preceded only by the Statue of Liberty. Arona also offers various activities for tourists: a historic center full of shops and restaurants, a beautiful lakeside promenade for walking, and shores and small beaches to spend the warm summer days. In this wonderful historical and natural setting, you can find houses for sale at Lake Maggiore.
