Period Villa, Arona

Immersed in the tranquillity and beauty of Arona, at the foot of the historic Parco della Rocca Borromea, with which it directly borders, we are offering for sale a period villa in a privileged location: just a ten-minute walk from Piazza del Popolo, the lakefront and the elegant boutiques of Corso Cavour. Its panoramic location offers views of the entire historic centre, the renowned Villa Cantoni and the sparkling waters of Lake Maggiore.

Built in the second half of the 19th century, the villa underwent careful restoration in 2005, with further renovation of the roof completed in 2023. The work respected and enhanced the historic features of the house, such as the coffered ceilings with 17th-century beams, the original Venetian marble floors from 1879 – identical to those in Palazzo Borromeo on Isola Bella – and the period shutters, which have been skilfully preserved despite the windows having been recently replaced with the latest generation of PVC double glazing.

The property is spread over three main floors with a total area of approximately 350 square metres, in addition to balconies, a veranda and a large 2,000 square metre park.

On the ground floor, there is a living room with a double-sided fireplace, shared with the kitchen, a bathroom and a bright veranda overlooking the garden. An internal staircase leads to a first mezzanine where there is a boiler/laundry room and a storage room.

The first floor houses the sleeping area, consisting of a double bedroom with fireplace and small terrace, a single bedroom and a third bedroom, all with direct access to a long balcony. The bathroom, which is particularly spacious, is equipped with both a shower and a bathtub. The floor also has a second independent entrance.

The second floor, which is completely independent and currently used as a bed & breakfast, is a self-contained apartment with a kitchen, two bathrooms with showers, a double bedroom with a balcony, a bedroom with a lake view and a third bedroom, also with a balcony and panoramic views. There is a cellar in the basement.

The large garden surrounding the villa features a panoramic terrace with lake views and charming corners, including gazebos with ornamental Art Nouveau columns.

Perfect for those who want to live in a residence rich in history and charm, this villa is the ideal choice for those seeking proximity to the centre, the lake, amenities and privacy, guaranteed by its elevated position; details that make this property unique.
