Cannero Riviera lies on the delta of the Rio Cannero, below the SS34 road on Lake Maggiore, just 12 km from the Swiss border and 12 km from the lively town of Verbania. The town is internationally renowned for its mild, temperate climate, which has for centuries allowed citrus fruits to be grown outdoors. 

The property is situated directly on the renowned Cannero Riviera lakeside promenade, in complete privacy, just a short walk from the beach, the Lido, the tourist harbour area, restaurants, bars, ice cream parlours and grocery shops.  

The villa is spread over three above-ground floors plus a basement and comprises:
Mezzanine floor: entrance hall, living room with fireplace, modern kitchen with dining area, veranda-living room with Art Nouveau-style windows, bathroom on this floor, a spacious and picturesque portico that can serve as an outdoor dining area, in a spot naturally shaded by centuries-old magnolias and cedars and close to a well-equipped outdoor brick-built cooking/barbecue area;

Basement: two stairwells (from inside and outside the villa), hallway, three large cellar rooms, laundry room, boiler room and storage room.  

In an absolutely peaceful and secluded location lies the swimming pool with a large sunbathing area on the lawn, all with a fantastic lake view and set within a magnificent garden featuring Mediterranean plants, ancient camellia trees, a majestic camphor tree and towering palm trees.
Upstream of the building, a discreet driveway with an automatic gate allows access and parking for several cars.

Facing the lake, the villa reveals its main entrance, set amidst decorative architectural features typical of the early 20th century and lush subtropical vegetation.
