A villa with gorgeous views - for 10 and perhaps more people

About the villa: Villa Lago Blu, built in 1930 for a well-known Italian family, is spacious and full of atmosphere. The interiors are Italian classic style with marble tables and decorated wall papers. Most of the furniture is designed and handmade for the villa. Most rooms overlook the lake and the rooms on the ground floor have direct access to the terraces and gardens.

The spacious park-like gardens has old trees and extensive grass lawns. There are a few footpaths to stroll around and enjoy the view from several locations. The views overlooking the green lawns, the blue lake and the snowcapped mountains in the distance are just a feast for the eyes. From the garden a path (about 150 steps of stone) leads through a small wood down to the lake and the rocky beach. The whole park measures 22000 square metres. The large swimming pool (6 x 14 m) is equipped with dive board and has a separate room with shower and toilet. The villa is provided with garden furniture and has ample outdoor parking space.

What to do in the region: The villa is in 15 minutes walking distance from the centre of Laveno. Laveno is a small and relaxed tourist town with most shopping facilities, many restaurants, a promenade and where during the whole year a lot of activities are organised. From here it is possible to catch the ferry boat to the western side of the lake (Stresa, Pallanza etc.) and to the Borromean islands famous for their enchanted beauty. In Laveno you will find any sort of shops included supermarket, banks, post office and pharmacy. All sorts of water sport are possible, and also within walking distance you can reach the gondola which takes you to the top of the hill (1200 m) against which Laveno is built. It is a very popular location for parapente and delta flying. Cycling is of course possible and there is a riding school in a village nearby.

Vacation without car: Our charming villa is the perfect location for a relaxing holiday or for several interesting and recommended day trips. Laveno has a railway station, and from here it is possible to reach by train Varese and Milano in less than an hour.

The other railway station of Laveno Mombello is only about 1.5 km away, and you can easily reach Milano Cadorna from there. Milano Cadorna is located in the centre near the cathedral and best suitable if you want to do shopping. Therefore, this accommodation is well suited if you wish to travel without a car: From Milano Cadorna there is a direct, regular train connection to Laveno, where you can take a taxi for the last 1.5 km to the property. Once on the premises you can make day trips in the region by taxi or by bus.

On Lake Maggiore there are several golf courses.
