Biganzolo

At the Lago Maggiore lies this beautiful, historic villa. Lake Maggiore is one of the beautiful Italian lakes in the north, close to Lake Como and Lake Garda.

The villa was built around 1900, surrounded by a beautiful centuries-old park with camellias, azaleas and tall trees.

The whole property is characterised by great elegance and privacy. The villa is called  "Il Leoncino" which is Italian for The Little Lion. It is located on the hill of Verbania, in a quiet location away from the chaos of the city. 

It has a beautiful views of Lake Maggiore, facing south. The garden, or rather a park, of 8,500 square metres retains the historic layout with the avenues that run through it and lead to the swimming pool. During these walks, you can enjoy the blooming of roses. The part with swimming pool was built in 2007. It has a shower room and toilet. And it has a summer kitchen with dining table overlooking the lake.

At the entrance to the property is a very special two-storey guest house, with two garages on the ground floor.

The exterior architecture of the prestigious villa has been preserved as it was originally, as has the interior, which has always been well maintained. The interior decorations are in the original style, with the pastel colours typical of prestigious homes on Lake Maggiore.

The villa has a total of four floors.

The entrance leads to the large rooms from where you can access the large terrace. On the same floor is also the formal dining room for guests. The most striking feature is the great clarity of the rooms and the view of Lake Maggiore. 

On the lower floor, as usual in antique mansions, are the kitchen with food lift, the dining room, the pantry, the billiard room, a study and the spa with sauna. From this floor, you overlook the century-old park, preceded by a veranda used as a summer dining area.

The first floor is entirely dedicated to the sleeping area, consisting of two large double bedrooms with original parquet floors, each with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom.
Two more bedrooms with bathrooms are located on the same floor.

On the second floor is the guest area. This floor features a large terrace with stunning views of Lake Maggiore. Here there are three bedrooms with a bathroom and a laundry room. This elegant property is in a privileged location, quiet but not isolated, quiet and above all very panoramic and sunny.
