A detached villa in Nebbiuno, surrounded by greenery

The town of Nebbiuno lies in the Province of Novara, within the strip of Piedmontese land bordering Lake Maggiore. Located in a hilly area rich in vegetation, this small town offers both tranquillity and proximity to services and the main lakeside towns, above all Arona. An important tourist centre, well connected to the main motorways, close to Malpensa Airport and 60 km from Milan, Arona stands 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.

The town is home to numerous churches and squares, including the Church of the Holy Martyrs, with its fifteenth-century frescoes from the Leonardesque school, and the Collegiate Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. Moving on to the town’s medieval heart, we find Piazza del Popolo, with its old-world houses and pier, topped by a small lighthouse and a favourite spot for tourists. However, Arona’s most important and fascinating monument is undoubtedly the Colossus of Saint Charles Borromeo. Standing approximately 35 metres tall, it ranks second among the world’s tallest statues, surpassed only by the Statue of Liberty.

Arona also offers tourists a wide range of activities: a historic centre filled with shops and restaurants, a beautiful lakeside promenade, and lidos and small beaches where visitors can spend warm summer days.

In this wonderful historic and natural setting, you can find homes for sale on Lake Maggiore.
