Villa Ninfea sul Lago

Villa Ninfea sul Lago is a 1940s house in Baveno on Lake Maggiore, looking out over the Borromean Gulf and its three islands, the most elegant stretch of the lake. Five bedrooms and seven bathrooms accommodate up to 10 guests, suiting families or friends, and the villa can also host events and ceremonies.

The house was fully renovated in 2014 with close attention to detail, keeping the typical layout of a villa of its era across three floors. Its defining feature is the large windows in every room, which bring the lake into view wherever you are.

Furnishings are elegant and restrained with a deliberately retro touch, and the walls are hung with oil paintings and watercolours by a local artist.

Comforts include air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a sauna and hot tub, a dishwasher and microwave, TV, a laundry service and daily housekeeping, with towels and bed linen provided.

Outside, the private pool is the place for an evening drink with the lake spread out in front of you, and a barbecue makes it easy to eat outdoors.

The owner looks after guests personally, welcoming them on arrival, keeping a close eye on standards and on hand with help, information and local tips for making the most of a villa on Lake Maggiore.
