Description
Villa Milena is a tastfully-decorated abode set majestically within its own parkland surrounded by luscious greenery, with its own generously-sized pool, set on a hilltop overlooking the south-western shores of Lake Maggiore.
Crafted in local stone, with elegant shutters and creamy tones, this chic retreat is set on an elevated position with sumptuous views of the lake and surrounding mountains and villages. 12 guests can be accommodated across 6 bedrooms within airy and light-filled spaces, setting the scene for a wonderful group or family holiday in Northern Italy.
The immaculately manicured lawns offer the ideal spot for reclining by the pool with a good book, whilst the dining terrace is a serene space for al fresco meals or evening drinks on balmy evenings beneath the stars.
The interiors offer a stylish blend of contemporary with nods to original baroque style. A sophisticated monochrome palette gives the living space a touch of grandeur, whilst it is very liveable with low-key ease. A modern kitchen features top-grade fittings and an eat-in option for casual dining. The bedrooms are refreshingly simple, gracefully finished with pretty accents of colour.
No more than ten minutes drive to the lakeside villages of Pallanza and Verbania, Villa Milena benefits from the attractions and natural beauty that the shores of Lake Maggiore offer.
Verbania is a pretty lakeside town known as "the garden on the lake.” It has a stunning botanical garden with plant species from around the world. The region is plentiful for water sports, riding and hill walking, whilst ferries from Verbania offer trips to the enchanting Borromean Islands, or, across the lake to Laverno. Pallanza is an elegant town with Roman origins, rich heritage and the beautiful San Stefano church. Its lakefront is one of the finest on Lake Maggiore; the promenade is a treat, with the glittering lake peppered with islands on one side, with pretty colourful terraces, flower-filled balconies and independent cafés on the other. /n Security deposit /n €1000 charged to client’s credit card as a pre-authorisation one month before arrival and refunded two weeks after departure, subject to full inspection.
