Modern villa in Nebbiuno with lake view

The village of Nebbiuno lies in the province of Novara, within the strip of Piedmont bordering Lake Maggiore. Set in a hilly area rich in vegetation, this small town offers both peace and quiet and proximity to services and the lake’s main towns, first and foremost 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 under the control 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 Leonardo school, and the Collegiate Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. Moving on to the town’s medieval heart, we discover Piazza del Popolo, with its old-world houses and the pier, crowned by a small lighthouse and much loved by tourists. However, Arona’s most important and fascinating monument is undoubtedly the Colossus of Saint Charles Borromeo. Standing approximately 35 metres tall, it is the second-tallest statue in the world, surpassed only by the Statue of Liberty.

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