The breath-taking panoramas on show throughout Italy's beloved Lake District are justifiably regarded as among the finest in Europe, drawing together the magnificent peaks of the nearby Alps, mirrorlike lakes leisurely traced by sailboats and picturesque villages offering quaint restaurants and bars with glorious lakefront terraces all wrapped in the splendorous greenery of northern Italy.

Villanovo's exquisite selection of luxury villas with glorious views over the majestic Lake Maggiore are the perfect place from which to experience this elegant, timeless location.
Long the destination of choice for Europe's moneyed aristocrats and an inspiration to writers as diverse as Hemingway, Shelley and even the Roman poet Virgil (who hailed from this stunning region), the Italian lakes hold a special place in the hearts and imaginations of so many people. And one look at the views out over the Lake Maggiore, the second largest of them, is enough to convince you as to why this little region has enchanted so many for so long.
Lake Maggiore is not a destination to be devoured voraciously with a checklist of top 10 things to do, but rather sampled and savoured at one's own leisure, in harmony with the laid-back atmosphere that surrounds it. There are a number of botanical gardens to visit, while the generosity of the landscapes lends itself to hiking, biking and other forms of exploration. Since you are by the lakes, of course there are a number of water sports activities to partake in, including jet ski, sailing and windsurfing.
Trips can be organised to the delightful Borromean Islands, where stunning gardens (and even white peacocks!) can be enjoyed on Isola Bella, while Isola di Pescatori provides, as you might expect, some wonderful fish and seafood restaurants. Meanwhile, Stresa is the perfect little town to pick yourself up a gelato and take in at your own pace, all the while lapping up the views over beautiful Lake Maggiore.
At Villanovo, our villa specialists have carefully handpicked a selection of the most beautiful villas around Lake Maggiore, with spectacular accommodation close to Stresa, Isola Bella, Gattico-Veruno and more.
This beautiful collection features tastefully decorated luxury holiday homes with everything you could wish for from you break in northern Italy, including spacious bedrooms, beautifully lit kitchens and living rooms, rustic charm and contemporary chic, lush gardens and, of course, the possibility of opening your curtains to the vast cobalt blue waters of Lake Maggiore.
