Description

In the heart of Ghiffa, a short walk from the lake and main amenities, stands this extraordinary period villa overlooking the village and offering unparalleled panoramic views of Lake Maggiore. Surrounded by a lush private park, the villa is a true gem of Art Nouveau architecture. The original design, published in 1908 in the prestigious magazine “L' Architettura Italiana,” testifies to the historical and artistic importance of this unique residence. Carefully restored, the property now combines the timeless charm of its original features—decorated ceilings, Venetian terrazzo and fine wood floors, period fireplaces—with the comforts of modern living. Spread over three levels plus an elegant panoramic turret, the villa offers refined and bright rooms. The ground floor opens with a large entrance hall leading to the elegant representative living room with fireplace; on the same level there is a study-living room, a generously sized kitchen, and a dining room featuring a fireplace and authentic historical elements. Going up to the first floor, you reach the sleeping area consisting of five bedrooms, one of which has an en suite bathroom, a covered balcony, and a terrace overlooking the lake, the ideal place to contemplate the crystal clear waters of Lake Maggiore. Finally, the top floor consists of an independent guest apartment with two bedrooms, a study, a bathroom, and separate access to ensure maximum privacy. Outside, an iron pergola covered with wisteria provides an oasis of relaxation: a peaceful corner where you can unwind while admiring the spectacular view of the Lombardy shore of the lake. The property also includes a cellar, garage, and three covered parking spaces. The villa enjoys a privileged location: it is just a short walk from the Ghiffa lakefront, only 5 km from Verbania and 20 km from the Swiss border. For trekking enthusiasts, less than 2 km away is the Sacro Monte di Ghiffa, a UNESCO site surrounded by nature, with panoramic trails of rare beauty.

Location: Ghiffa, Piedmont

Ghiffa boasts a wide municipal area with many small hamlets between Lago Maggiore and the hilly area that goes from Verbania to Switzerland. In 1447 the hamlet of Frino became the capital town, where the feudal lords built their own castle. During the 19th century, the transport connections by lake were developed and the coastal road construction to Switzerland was completed. Ghiffa has become an important tourist center thanks to new hotels and great prestigious villas. The baroque monumental complex of Sacro Monte, dedicated to the Most Holy Trinity, is a real jewel in the landscape setting between Lake and woods of the Natural Reserve. It encompasses the Sanctuary, three chapels and the porch of the Via Crucis, from here the ancient pedestrian network of Via delle Genti, which linked the Verbano towns to Switzerland, starts: an easy itinerary at mountainside between woods and mule tracks with a breathtaking Lake view.
