Historic Art Nouveau villa with centuries-old park and charming view of Lake Maggiore - Ghiffa
Overlooking Lake Maggiore and nestled in a magnificent private park of approximately 3,200 square meters, this extraordinary historic villa from 1836 is one of the most charming and characterful residences in the Ghiffa area. A place where time seems to slow down, enshrined in centuries-old trees, panoramic views, and an atmosphere of absolute tranquility and privacy.
From first glance, the property captivates with its timeless elegance. The architectural lines, the Art Nouveau details, the spacious interiors, and the constant presence of natural light tell the story of a residence designed to welcome, represent, and leave its mark.
Upon entering, you’re greeted by charming spaces, where formal halls, social areas, and private spaces coexist in perfect harmony. The main floor features a spacious living room overlooking the panoramic terraces, a refined dining room, a study, and the bathroom, in a succession of rooms that invite you to experience the home with effortless elegance. The upper floors accommodate numerous bedrooms and suites, many of which enjoy delightful views of the park and lake. The generous and versatile spaces allow one to imagine a prestigious private residence, a multi-generational home, or a refined hospitality facility. The basement reveals the villa’s true soul: large rooms for socializing, kitchens, cellars, laundries, and utility rooms that testify to the villa’s former hospitality business and offer endless possibilities for reinterpretation. This wealth of square footage is rare in contemporary properties.
Completing the estate is a distinctive, independent guesthouse spread across multiple levels, with a living room, fireplace, kitchen, and bedrooms. This precious space could become a guest residence, a caretaker’s lodge, a private office, or an exclusive extension of the hospitality business.
Over time, the villa has housed a charming establishment and still retains all the ideal features for a boutique hotel, an exclusive relais, or a prestigious hospitality business. At the same time, the layout of the spaces and the privacy afforded by the park make it a truly prestigious private residence.
More than a home, it’s a property that tells a story spanning nearly two centuries. A rare, authentic, and unique place, where the elegance of historic architecture meets the beauty of Lake Maggiore in one of Verbano’s most sought-after and evocative settings.
