Description

Beautiful classic villa with swimming pool set in splendid gardens in Baveno, Lake Maggiore.

Built in the 17th century over a former convent, the Villa La Romanica displays fine architectural and decorative features, antiques and high ceilings, combined with modern amenities. This wonderful authentic property will impress you with its charming and nostalgic feel, and is composed of the main villa (600 m²) with 6 bedrooms and a separate guesthouse with two apartments (80 m² each):
- Entering the main villa on the ground floor you’ll find a cosy living room opening up on the outside terrace, toilet, and the spacious kitchen. Dining can be enjoyed outside both on the terrace area in front of the villa as well as in the attractive internal central patio.
- Going up to the first floor there is a studio room with desk and computer and stairs up to a mezzanine bedroom with two single beds, a bedroom overlooking the lake with two single beds, a bathroom with shower, a sitting room with TV and videogames, the master bedroom overlooking the lake with double bed, bathroom with tub and handheld shower (bathroom accessed by both bedrooms), a bedroom overlooking the inner patio with two single beds. This last bedroom can be accessed either from the patio or from the previous bedroom and bathroom.
- On the second floor are two bedrooms leading out to a balcony with amazing views over the lake. You’ll find subsequently a bedroom with double bed, a bedroom with two single beds, and a bathroom with shower. Please note that the rooms can be accessed only by passing through the previous rooms.
- OPTIONAL (not included): The independent guesthouse can be optionally rented and is composed of two more basic apartments – one on the ground floor and one on the first floor – with each a living area with kitchenette and sofa, bedroom and bathroom.

The magnificent terraced garden (1,5 acres) is one of a kind, being divided into four parts (Italian, English, French and Japanese) and featuring unique peonies, azelias, cammelias and valuable trees, including Japanese maples, cedars, chestnuts and a spectacular canphora tree. Descending the garden guests can reach the swimming pool and surrounding deck with sun loungers and relax chairs, and a shower to cool off during the hotter days.

The Villa La Romanica is located in the village of Baveno within easy reach (600 m) to the local shops and the lakeside promenade with views over the magical Borromeo Islands. Hop on any ferry to visit these beautiful islands and to further explore Lake Maggiore. The train station connects you conveniently with the centre of Milan for a shopping day out. Baveno enjoys a very central position at Lake Maggiore just next to the town of Stresa (4 km), the most popular tourist resort of the lake, and nearby the city of Intra Verbania.
