on the shores of Lake Maggiore

In the romantic heart of the medieval hamlet of Oggiogno, an exclusive hillside district of Cannero Riviera, stands a 19th-century manor graced with an infinity pool and an unrivalled lake view. More than 4,000 sq m of landscaped park surround the residence, artfully planted with Mediterranean species, fruit trees, organic vegetable gardens and a private vineyard, ensuring absolute privacy and an atmosphere of refined serenity. A masterfully restored stone wash-house is a charming reminder of the past and adds character to a garden scented with aromatic herbs.

The interiors underwent a meticulous conservation renovation in the 1990s, preserving original frescoes and period warmth while discreetly integrating contemporary comforts. The noble floor welcomes you with a dramatic entrance hall leading to a double living room with marble fireplace, a professional kitchen and a panoramic terrace — partly glass-enclosed — ideal for al-fresco entertaining. A stylish study with en-suite bathroom completes the level.

On the two upper floors eight bedrooms await, each with its own private balcony facing the lake, along with a second kitchen, two bathrooms and a guest powder room, providing ultimate comfort for family and friends. Within the grounds lie ancillary buildings for storage, the pool’s technical room and a fully equipped cellar for estate wine production.

A short 300 m stroll from the private parking area brings you to the villa — historically known as “Villa al Sasso” — equally suited to a primary residence or an intimate boutique hospitality retreat, offering an oasis of style and tranquillity in one of Lake Maggiore’s most authentic corners.

My trip on Lake Maggiore turned out to be the best escape from my daily routine ever and my search for holiday home led to this corner of Italy where you can still live "La Dolce Vita" to the fullest. I always heard of Lake Como but I didn't know much of Lake Maggiore when I decided to widen my search for a property to this area; what I found really surprised me. Thanks to Raffaella, my agent, I discovered wider spaces and a better variety of landscapes and lifestyles: from life directly on the shores enjoining the water, to the peace and quiet of life in the hills with breathtaking views, to historic small hamlets on smaller lakes, to alpine valleys and ski resorts, all at a very short distance. A relatively undiscovered gem to enjoy all year round.

I could not imagine to be able to find my perfect "place in the sun", but, on the shores of Lake Maggiore, I discovered a corner of paradise that I can call home. It's serenity and tranquility are priceless, and the breathtaking views of the lake and its mountains inspire me every day. Walking along the charming alleys of its typical villages takes me back in time and I have embraced the Italian lifestyle in all its authenticity. Living here allows me to enjoying moments of relaxation with levels of standard of living and quality of life that I had never experienced before. I am grateful to have found my corner of heaven on Lake Maggiore.

When I first set foot on the shores of Lake Maggiore, I felt an emotion I had never felt elsewhere. The mesmerizing views, the gentle breeze caressing my skin and the atmosphere of tranquillity immediately won me over. I chose to buy my second home here because Lake Maggiore is much more than a tourist destination. It is a place where time seems to slow down, allowing me to live each moment with serenity and gratitude. The wealth of history, authentic Italian character and natural beauty surround me every day, making my life here a dream come true.
