Villa (10 Posti Letto) A Bee

On the first hills above Verbania, in the heart of the historic village of Bee, this period residence dating back to 1823 overlooks Lake Maggiore with wide, spectacular views. Set in a sunny and peaceful hillside context, just a few minutes’ drive from Verbania and the lakeshore, the property combines the charm of the old town with the convenience of nearby services and a rich network of walking paths leading, among others, to the renowned spiritual centre of Albagnano and to the nearby golf club.

The main villa has been carefully refurbished, preserving its original details: antique Lombard terracotta floors, fine wooden window frames, frescoed ceilings, staircases with period iron railings and solid wood doors. The four above-ground levels, in addition to the cellar floor, offer on the raised ground floor a large living room with fireplace and reception rooms, while the upper floors accommodate six elegant suites, two per level, all with modern, well-appointed private bathrooms, many enhanced by panoramic balconies and charming attic spaces. The semi-basement level houses a characterful wine cellar with direct access to the terraced garden.

A charming internal courtyard, covered by a glazed structure, connects the villa to a second three-storey building, currently partly used as service areas and partly as additional living quarters. On the ground floor there is a spacious professional kitchen, ideal for catering activities or private events; the upper floors include additional bedrooms, service rooms and bathrooms, perfect as guest accommodation, staff quarters or separate dépendance.

Outside, the large terraced garden, with pergolas, sunbathing areas and privileged lake views, leads to a wide lawn with fruit trees, where it is possible to create a swimming pool and further parking spaces. The property is accessible by car and already benefits from a private parking space close to the entrance, with the possibility of creating additional parking and an even more convenient access on the lower part of the grounds.

Used for over twenty years as a renowned hospitality property with restaurant and still currently operating as a Bed Breakfast, the residence offers remarkable versatility: an ideal prestigious private home for one or more families, but also a charming tourist-hospitality structure ready to host new projects in the unique setting of Lake Maggiore.
