Villa with Annex, Cannobio

In the heart of the beautiful town of Cannobio, just ten minutes from the Swiss border and a short distance from the beaches of Lake Maggiore, we are offering for sale an exclusive period villa with large private park and annex, located in the charming historic centre of Traffiume.

The strategic location, surrounded by tranquillity but convenient to all amenities, makes this property ideal both as a main residence and as an investment for hospitality activities.

Built in the early 20th century, the villa has been carefully renovated to enhance the original architectural features, including mosaic floors, period fireplaces, frescoed and vaulted ceilings, and a majestic internal staircase with wrought iron banisters. The windows and doors of the villa were replaced in 2022 and the boiler in 2024.

Spread over several levels, the villa covers approximately 400 square metres.

The ground floor currently houses a bed & breakfast, with a separate entrance, three suites with private bathrooms and service rooms such as a small office, bathroom, laundry room and storage rooms. A bright veranda with large opening windows houses the breakfast area, overlooking an outdoor terrace ideal for al fresco dining.

On the first floor is the master apartment comprising an entrance hall, separate kitchen, living area with fireplace and access to the balcony, bathroom, a double bedroom and a single bedroom.

The apartment’s finishes include triple-glazed wooden window frames, matching wooden shutters, radiator heating and air conditioning.

In the basement, additional living space has been created, with a wonderful exposed brick ceiling, comprising a kitchen with an antique fireplace, a large dining room, a bedroom, a bathroom with shower and a cellar.

The property is completed by a 90 square metre attic with small balconies overlooking the lake, currently in need of renovation, and a finely renovated independent annexe, consisting of a three-room apartment with two bathrooms and a private garden.

The entire complex is surrounded by a flat park of about 1,500 square metres, with attention to detail, pergolas, automatic irrigation system and convenient covered parking spaces.

The property is equipped with photovoltaic and solar thermal panels.

This villa is an ideal solution for those looking for a prestigious residence in one of the most charming locations on Lake Maggiore. Perfect for large families, those wishing to start or expand a hospitality business, or investors looking for a unique property to enhance. Its strengths are certainly its dual residential/accommodation use, perfectly preserved period details, spacious interior and exterior spaces, and proximity to the lake and the Swiss border.
