Lago Maggiore: a luxury destination

Lago Maggiore has an exclusive tourist appeal. Let’s see why


“Lake Maggiore is the most voluptuous place I have ever seen in the world. Nature enchants with a thousand unknown seductions and one feels in a state of rare sensuality and refinement”.
This is what Gustave Flaubert wrote about Lago Maggiore, whose romantic soul could not resist the charm of our lake. 


And he is not the only one who has been enchanted by the beauty of this place: one for all, Donatella Versace, who has recently bought Villa Mondadori. Now as then, the lake stands for a luxury destination and has, for many reasons, few competitors in the world. Let’s discover them, before you have a look on the Engel & Völkers website in search of the most suitable to your needs villa Lago Maggiore

A unique microclimate


Let’s start with the climate, really mild in this area, making your stay at the lake always pleasing. Summer is cool and winter is not as hard as in the inland. A unique microclimate, thanks to the morphology of the area, which favours the growing of typical plants of other latitudes, as can be seen from the many lush gardens sprinkled here and there along the shores of the lake.



The centre of Europe


The second aspect making Lago Maggiore one of the most exclusive destinations is its privileged position. Milan and Turin are the nearest metropolitan areas, with all their attractions, as well as the airport and Switzerland, just on the other side of the border. 


Living at Lago Maggiore means reaching many places in a short time and enjoying life in this real Eden, made of tranquillity and exclusivity.

The charm of its historical villas

Lago Maggiore is also famous for its many lakeside villas, marked by unusual architectures and extraordinary gardens. The Borromean Palace, Villa Taranto, Villa Pallavicino are only some of the dwellings that have made this land a high-level tourist destination. 


A 7-star hospitality


Why seven? Seven is the sum of the stars of all luxury hotels and those celebrating the most exclusive restaurants in the area. A real luxury destination cannot do without these two aspects. 

The tourist infrastructure on Lago Maggiore is extraordinary (think for example of the wonderful Grand Hotel des Iles Borromèes in Stresa), as well as the quality of its cuisine, characterised by the use of local products.

Unique experiences


Tourism is an ever-changing reality and nowadays it requires unique experiences. Luckily, Lago Maggiore is a first-class destination. As well as offering many possibilities in terms of restaurants and accommodation, our lake also offers incredible yacht trips (thanks to the numerous boat rental companies) sport activities (such as cycling, running, playing golf, skiing, rock climbing and so on). 

Living at Lago Maggiore means living a unique experience.
