Set among the majestic peaks of the Alps and surrounded by historic villages and picturesque towns, Lake Maggiore is one of the most precious gems of northern Italy. All along its fascinating shores, each location holds a beautiful and unique story to be discovered. These extraordinary destinations are enchanting with their own natural beauty and rich history and discovering these locations is like travelling through a living painting, where the beauty of the landscape and local culture entwine creating an unforgettable experience. Lake Maggiore is a place where beauty knows no bounds, and every visit reveals new treasures to discover.

In a setting where natural beauty and history blend in a fascinating marriage, the real protagonist is the luxury real estate market that captures the imagination of the most demanding foreign clients. The shores of Lake Maggiore are dotted with sumptuous historic villas, evidence of a noble and fascinating past, where luxury finds a home. Their timeless historical elegance offers original frescoes, Italian-style gardens and striking architecture to those seeking the ultimate in luxury and refinement. Each residence tells a unique story, a chapter of ancient Italian nobility welcoming all who live here to a world of timeless elegance, refined lifestyle and prestigious residences!
