Stay in one of our Lake Maggiore private villas and experience la Dolce Vita at its best. The second largest lake in Italy, Lake Maggiore is arguably one of its most famous and is surrounded by beautiful lakeshore villages, picturesque islands and Swiss mountain peaks. Grand palaces and ornate gardens add to this incredible region, making it a wonderful choice for a stay in the Italian Lakes.
Alongside private villas in Stresa, one of Lake Maggiore’s most popular lakeside towns, we have a beautiful collection throughout Maggiore and all of our villas have a private pool, making them excellent choice for a stay for all the family. And as one of our guests, you can easily personalise your stay – together with our local hosts, we can arrange everything from villa stocking and a personal chef to a private airport pick up.
Enjoying a milder climate all year round in comparison to other nearby regions, Lake Maggiore receives most of its visitors between May and September when the weather is warmest. Rainfall is usually at it’s peak during spring but the temperatures start to climb.
Summer in Lake Maggiore is the most popular time to visit with average temperatures around 30c – think water-sports, Alpine hikes and lakeside lunches. Early September cools a little but with mild temperatures, makes for an excellent should-season break.
Winter sees colder temperatures and you can expect snow on the higher peaks. With cool but bright days, head to nearby Milan to experience winter in this beautiful city or head a little further north and hit the slopes in some of this area’s best ski resorts
