An 18th-century masterpiece, originally belonging to the Borromeo family, today representing the pinnacle of lakeside living on the Italian lakes. The villa overlooks the jewel of Lake Maggiore and is the only property in the bay with an exclusive panoramic view of all three Borromean Islands.
Fully restored in 2001 while preserving its original architecture, the villa is distinguished by the use of rare materials: pink granite from Baveno — the same stone used in the construction of Milan Cathedral — and white Montorfano granite, featured throughout the exterior staircases.
