Villa, Ghiffa

In the heart of Ghiffa, in a dominant position and just a few steps from the lakefront and main amenities, lies this extraordinary historic Art Nouveau villa, surrounded by a lush private park and embellished with a panoramic view of rare beauty over Lake Maggiore.

A residence of great charm and architectural value, the villa has its roots in the early 20th century: the original design, published in 1908 in the magazine L’Architettura Italiana, testifies to its historical and artistic importance.

Careful restoration work has preserved its authentic soul, enhancing the decorated ceilings, Venetian terrazzo floors and fine woods, period fireplaces and original features that blend harmoniously with the needs of contemporary living.

The residence is spread over three floors, plus a charming panoramic turret, offering spacious, bright and impressive rooms.

On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to an elegant living room with a fireplace, flanked by a study-living room, a generously sized kitchen and a refined dining room, also featuring a fireplace and charming historical details.

The first floor houses the sleeping area, consisting of five bedrooms, including one with an en-suite bathroom, a covered balcony and a terrace overlooking the lake, ideal for moments of quiet and contemplation; additional balconies and a second bathroom complete the level.

The top floor houses an independent guest apartment with two bedrooms, a study and a bathroom, with separate access ensuring privacy and autonomy.

The turret, accessible from the outside, offers a privileged view of the surrounding landscape and is perfect as a creative space, relaxation area or fitness area.

Outside, the park envelops the villa in an atmosphere of absolute privacy. An elegant iron pergola, adorned with wisteria, creates an intimate and charming corner from which to enjoy a spectacular view of the lake and the Lombardy shore.

The property is completed by a cellar, a garage and three convenient covered parking spaces.

The location is one of the strengths of this residence: just five kilometres from Verbania and about twenty kilometres from the Swiss border, the villa combines tranquillity and easy accessibility.

A short distance away is the Sacro Monte di Ghiffa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by nature and scenic trails of extraordinary beauty.

A unique property, combining history, elegance and a privileged location, designed for those who want to experience Lake Maggiore in a truly prestigious residence.
