Built in the architectural liberty style in 1905, this deluxe Italian villa available for weekly rentals lies on the shores of Lake Maggiore, one of the northern Italian lakes, by the harbour of Cannero Riviera. Such an elegant style from the past has been honoured by the new owner, who restored the villa at the highest level, fitting it out with furniture from exclusive contemporary brands and some original pieces from the past.
Liberty now features six spacious bedrooms, four bathrooms and a guest bathroom, in a way that it can comfortably accommodate ten guests. Ancient frescoes on the ceilings have been unveiled under thick paint in various rooms, and have been restored to their original beauty. The kitchen and the dining room are works of art; they are well connected to the portico, which is furnished for dining al fresco, with a barbecue and dining table for up to fourteen guests. The living room is equipped with a bioethanol powered fireplace providing a cosy atmosphere. A satellite smart TV and a Geneva sound system with Bluetooth connection are installed in this room together with a piano.
The three-level grand home overlooks the lake, surrounded by a fenced-in Italian style garden. The old big trees of this manicured garden protect several areas from the nearby houses, allowing certain privacy, including in most parts of the swimming pool area.
Near the villa, you will find a water sports centre where you can hire a pedal boat, kayak, or a stand-up-paddle to head out on the beautiful Lake Maggiore. Also, restaurants and shops are within walking distance from Liberty.
Cannero Riviera lies on the western shores of Lake Maggiore, correspondent to the Piedmont side. Thanks to its natural inlet, it enjoys a mild climate that allows the growth of luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation characterized by citrus plants, palm trees, camellias and other flowers that every year transform the small town into a flowered balcony opening onto the lake.
Flanked by the mountains, Lake Maggiore is the longest and second-largest lake in Italy. It is mainly known for its exotic gardens of the Borromean and Brissago Islands, for its unique monastery Santa Caterina del Sasso and for the Palazzo Borromeo.
