The charming Lago Maggiore Villas, surrounded by (Michelin) stars.

The quality of restaurants in the area contributes to the charm of every Villa with Lago Maggiore view. Here are the restaurants you shouldn’t miss

Like every year in late autumn, gourmets all over Italy anxiously wait for the publication of the well-known “Guida Michelin”, the magazine dating back to 1956 and celebrating the best Italian restaurants. And like every year, Lago Maggiore proves itself as one of the places with the most Michelin stars in Italy, with a great number of awarded restaurants. 

A gourmet food temple, which contributes to the charm of all Lago Maggiore villas for sale. Besides, who can avoid the pleasure of dining on the Lake? 

This is the case of Il Portale in Pallanza (one Michelin star), which the Guide describes as follows: “a good restaurant in the central square, lakefront, where your summer dinners will have the flavour of relax and vacation; you will mostly find sea fish, but also some lake and meat dishes”.

If what you are looking for is a dinner on a terrace overlooking the Lake, then just go to Laveno at La Terrazza (one star) and enjoy a delicious cuisine, which can offer you “a harmony of flavours, aromas and fantastic courses.  It is all about a modern cuisine, which blends with the tradition of Italy”.

Not only is the cuisine of Laveno Mombello unmissable, but also its very popular houses for sale are not to be missed. 

Not far from Laveno, on Mergozzo Lake, you find one of the best Italian restaurants, the Piccolo Lago, with two Michelin stars. “Leaving Lago Maggiore and reaching Mergozzo, you will find yourself in front of a romantic postcard, which prime element is the Lake. Its water touching the shore where the restaurant is nestled”. Some tables are, in fact, settled near the Lake. The chef is Marco Sacco, whose strength is the ability of creating modern dishes, but at the same time rich in traditional elements. 

In making a list of the best starred restaurants, we could not miss Lake Orta. Here, as you know, works a real cuisine celebrity, Antonino Cannavacciuolo. Villa Crespi (two Michelin stars) has been a house for him for many years now, with its eccentric arabic style and a garden stretching as far as the Lake. According to the “Guida Michelin”: “The perfect raw material blends with the right technique and aesthetic precision, resulting in many dishes with a strong flavour, which enhance both the South and the sea”.

In Orta San Giulio there is also the Locanda d’Orta (one star), immersed in the historic centre of this romantic village. “A small building hosts this modern design restaurant, featuring a nice external terrace with just one table for two”.  It makes the perfect place for a romantic getaway and for those who dream about houses for sale Lago Maggiore.
