Varese and its lakes: a summer destination

2020 will be a particular summer. A summer in which to discover or rediscover pearls of the Italian territory. The province of Varese, called the "province of the Seven Lakes" due to the many water mirrors that overlook it, offers many opportunities for accommodation and leisure. And Lake Lugano, with its beauties, but also with its exclusive villas is just a few kilometers from here. Here is a proposal for the next summer holidays.

THE VARESE LIVING ROOM

If you are interested in villas in Varese, you cannot avoid taking a walk along Corso Matteotti. This central street of medieval origin has arcades along which shops and clubs parade. On the upper floors were the houses of the traders. Even today this is the center of city life.

PALAZZO ESTENSE

No, the Estense Palace is not included among the houses for sale in Varese, but it is possible to visit its sumptuous rooms and its park with gardens with a romantic and French flavor. It is no coincidence that the famous French writer Stendhal, who was able to visit it at the dawn of his splendor, defined this sumptuous residence "the Versailles of Milan".

THE SACRED MOUNTAINS

Varese has always been at the center of a crossroads that connects Italy to Northern Europe. Crossed by trade and traffic, in the seventeenth century it also built a bulwark of Christianity against the rising Protestant wave. This is the Sacred Mountains, a devotional path that was to replace the pilgrimage to the Holy Land which at that time became too risky. This path through 14 votive chapels was declared a Unesco Heritage Site in 2003.

TRIP TO LIDO DI LUGANO

An extraordinary day, with breathtaking views, fine sandy beaches and Olympic-sized swimming pools. In the surroundings there are magnificent villas for sale on Lake Lugano. This establishment is about to celebrate its first century of life, having been inaugurated in 1928. Even today it hosts families on vacation, but also sportsmen who train for professional competitions.

MONTE SAN SALVATORE

An alternative to relaxing along the lake is the climb to Monte San Salvatore, which offers one of the most amazing views of the Lake Lugano area. The summit can be reached either by funicular or on foot, with a walk of about an hour and a half, therefore within the reach of most. From the top the view is breathtaking and it is possible to appreciate the lake in all its magic.
