About this villa rental
The house is built in the middle of a 20.000 sqm property overlooking Lake Maggiore. A great view in a silent, reserved, exclusive place, with seasonal flowers and fruits, is the key for a relaxing holiday. There is a car park in a large private parking just 50m from the house. Enjoy your stay in this 2 floors, 3 bedrooms, 2 bath rooms property with a wonderful Veranda and a working Fireplace inside and a BBQ on the terrace outside. You can reach the house from Malpensa airport within 35km car drive. Linate Airport and the city of Milano are only 70km away. Wonderful Stresa with boat service to the Borromean Islands is only 8km away. A 18 holes Golf Course is less than 10 minutes away, while Belgirate village and the beach is just a 15 minutes walk in the woods or a 5 min. car drive. What else can you wish for? Just book your holiday now!
The Garden: The House is surrounded by 14.000 meters of private woods and garden. A gardener will keep the place clean for you while you enjoy its fruits and its flowers. You can get fresh fruit in the garden almost all the year round.You start in May with wild Asparagus and Morons, in June you have Raspberries and Cherries, in July Nuts and small Pears, Blackberries and Figs in August, Grapes in September and Chestnuts in October and November.
For additional pictures, please contact us for web site address.
Beaches: In a hot sunny day the best way to spend the warmest hours is swimming in the Lake.
The water is fresh and a constant current keeps it clean in Belgirate.
If you like to meet other people you can choose the Public Beach which is located at the entrance of the village coming from Lesa.
If you like to stay on your own then I suggest you take Via della Masseria which starts few meters above the end of La Bargajana road. It is a little steep with 3 tight turnpikes but it is paved and takes you directly to the lake (by the way this is the fastest way to Stresa as well!). At the end of Via Masseria Park your car, cross the SS 33 (Sempione Statal Road) and you will see on your left an access to the beach. A big Oak Tree will provide all the shadow you need.
If you are looking for a sandy beach a nice alternative is 20 km north in Feriolo or just 2km south in Villa Lesa.
One Day Trips & Things to do: 3 suggestions for a 'One Day Trip':
A trip by Cable-Car from Stresa to Mottarone mountain top: wonderful view on the Alps and on the Lake. A Car ride to Orta S.Giulio passing thru Il Mottarone: after that v. nice view from Mottarone, you will find a peaceful out-of-it-all atmosphere in Orta S.Giulio. A trip by Boat visiting S.Caterina del Sasso (a nice Monastery in a breathtaking place), Isola Bella, Isola dei Pescatori (nice Restaurants), Stresa and then back to Belgirate!
Botanic Gardens. If you like gardening then you might be interested in visiting one of the numerous Botanic Gardens in Stresa, Verbania or Isola Madre.
Local Markets. Everyday from 9:00 to 13:00 you have a Local Markets in one of the villages near Belgirate. They might not be large but they are always worth a look!

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2015
We stayed in this house overlooking Lake Maggoire for our honeymoon. It was absolutely fantastic. The house is great, well kept, full of character and clean; the huge sliding window in the living room is particularly impressive, opening up half of the wall to the vista of the lake and the mountain air.
The views and the sunsets are breathtaking. There are some great walks behind the house too: lovely woods with miles of stone trails connecting picturesque villages and ancient chapels.
The owner and house keeper would really nice, too. We were greeted with a bottle of sparkling wine and a bowl of fruit and they were really helpful whenever we had a problem.
I'd whole-heartedly recommend this property.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2012
Settings wonderful, house very comfortable.
Fantastic garden, especially if you travel with a dog.
Location great
Kitchen / dining area great.
What can be improved:
-Cleanliness!!! When opening the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen, you quickly understand all ustencils, pots, pans, cups, plates cutlery need thorough cleaning before use. The bottom of the drawers and cabinets is never cleaned.
- plenty of dust and spider webs everywhere
- terrasse not 100 % clean (don't look under the mat)
- Lack of wifi. These days, for such a house, wifi is not an option anymore. I am managing a B&B/hostel in Brussels. Internet access/WIFI is part of any modern traveller. I needed access for professional needs, and this caused me big big problems.
- Airconditionning in the bedrooms would be more than welcome. This house heats up very fast.
- lack of presence in English , capable of helping guests with specific questions about tourism, dining, access to activities, technical issues...etc....gives a very impersonal feeling.
Owner is 'far" away. Meeting new guests when they arrive doesn't seem to be important.
