is a gracious lakeside villa with remarkable views and a private
panoramic swimming pool. Set in a 5 ½ acre natural park with
century old trees, the villa is surrounded by a large grass lawn and a
lovely garden. A path through the trees leads to the lake and a
private beach.
The villa comfortably accommodates 10 people in 7 bedrooms with 6
bathrooms. Upon request and for an additional fee, another
bedroom can be made available for an extra 1 or 2 people.
This villa offers our special “arrive and relax”

for vegetarian guests. It basically consists of a pasta al forno,
a vegetable tarte, salad, and fruit. Bread, water and wine are

On the same property there is another accommodation for 4 people, Carina
del Lago. This was formerly the guardian’s house and is
located at the entrance of the estate about 60 meters from the
villa. The cottage does not face the villa garden or pool.
Also featured in our catalog, Carina del Lago can be rented separately
or together with Bellezza del Lago. Please see
Bellezza
Grande for the combined property.
Together, the two properties accommodate 14 to 16 people and provide a
perfect place for a large family or gathering of friends!
Please note that guests renting only Carina del Lago are not allowed
access to the swimming pool or the villa’s private beach (pebble) and
have their own private area of the garden. The Laveno public
beach is also pebble and is about five minutes away by foot.
The villa estate is located directly on the waterfront near Laveno, a
lively town on the eastern shore of Lake Maggiore.
The property has direct access to the water through its 150 meters
private lake shore. This private beach also has a boathouse for guests’
use. (Please note that Italian law allows for private beaches to
be accessed by other boats from the lake).
The location of Bellezza del Lago is particularly quiet and peaceful
given the fact that it is located at the end of a dead end road.
It is approximately 15 minutes by foot from Laveno.
Laveno is a small and relaxed tourist town offering a variety of
services such as grocery stores, bank, pharmacy, post office, shops,
restaurants, and a lakeside promenade. There is a ferry stop in
Laveno and boats go to the western side of the lake (Stresa, Pallanza,
Cannero) and also to the Borromean islands famous for their charming
beauty.
The Laveno Mombello train station in Laveno is about 1.5 km from
Bellezza del Lago. From here trains go to the Milano Cadorna
train in the center of Milano in less than one hour. The fast
train from Malpensa airport goes to the Milano Cadorna train station so
it is possible to fly into Malpensa and take a train to Milan and then
to the villa. A handy taxi ride to the villa would be necessary
with luggage. Once at the villa, day trips in the region can be
made by taxi, bus or boat. As a result, Bellezza del Lago can be
well suited for those who do not wish to rent a car.
Bellezza del Lago was built in 1930 for a well-known Italian family and
is spacious and full of atmosphere. The Italian classic style
features marble tables, decorated wallpaper and furniture that was
designed and hand crafted for the villa. Most rooms overlook the
lake and the rooms on the ground floor have direct access to the
terraces and gardens.
The extensive grounds are interspersed with footpaths and views
overlooking the green lawn, the park and the lake. The snowcapped
mountains in the distance are stunning. A path of about 150 stone
steps leads down to the lake and to the pebble beach. Please note that
this path is fairly steep and could be unsuitable for elderly people or
people with walking difficulties.
The large swimming pool (6m x 14m) with diving board has a separate
room with shower and toilet. The villa is provided with garden
furniture and has ample outdoor parking space.
