Villa Donizetti is a 100-year-old, 3-story villa perched right on the shores of Lake Maggiore. This villa is unique because it is one of the few properties on Lake Maggiore with its own private shore. Here you have direct access to the lake, only a few steps away from the house: A narrow path leads down from the terrace to the water. In the summer, when the water table is lower, there is even a small gravel beach. The house is flanked by palms - while jasmine and wisteria wind their way past the bright blue shutters. The villa is located in a beautiful garden. The garden (4000 m²) is a symphony of colours: tree high azalea and camellia line the path, there are lemon trees and palm trees and thick bamboo, which provides a tranquil spot...

Villa Donizetti is only 5 minutes away from Cannero Riviera with its typical fishing port, cafes, and promenade. The ferry from Cannero brings you to the Borromea and Brissago islands. Riviera Cannero may well be the nicest village on the western shore, just behind the Swiss-Italian border and little known. The restaurants have a touch of class, and even in August there is enough room in the narrow streets around the harbour. The village is located in a small protected bay.

A nice and tasteful art nouveau villa directly by the lake. Excellent view from this sunny side of the lake. Former residence of the famous 18th century composer Donizetti.
The Interior
The owner only recently had the villa restored, but left its patina. Great care was taken to preserve the villa’s historic character, as can be seen in details such as its wood and terracotta floors. The rooms are white washed. The authentic furniture is freshly polished and well located. The wrought iron beds are manufactured according to the old trade. The bathrooms are nicely decorated and seamlessly fit into this tasteful house. A collection of beautiful paintings of the lake give the ambience a touch of the nostalgia and romance of the past century.
The Garden
Villa Donizetti is an atmospheric house by the lake, with the formal and cool elegance found in some fresco-decorated villas along the lake. The interior is comfortable and relaxing. All rooms on the ground floor have direct access to the garden and each bedroom features large windows to the south with a view of the garden and the lake. The garden offers sunloungers, chairs, a green coffee table in a bamboo grove and a seated area on the panoramic stone terrace. A wide sunshade and other garden furniture is also available. The garden is large enough for guests to retire to a variety of different niches and relax ...
