When Bellezza del Lago and Carina del Lago are rented together, this villa offers our special “arrive and relax” package: 

A simple typical dinner is provided on your arrival night.  This is a welcome sight after a long flight and will allow you to check in, unpack and relax.  You will find the dinner in the kitchen with the instructions for heating.  The dinner is also suitable for vegetarian guests.  It basically consists of a pasta al forno, a vegetable tarte, salad, and fruit.  Bread, water and wine are included.  No changes are possible for the first dinner.

The villa also will be stocked with basic groceries so that you do not have to shop upon arrival or worry about store closures on Sunday.  The shopping list consists of: milk, coffee, tea, bread, biscuits, sugar, salt, water, fruit, eggs, oil, butter, jam, orange juice, cereals. The quantity of the items will be adjusted by the staff according to the number of guests.

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 private lake shore of 150 meters.  (Please note that Italian law allows for private beaches to be accessed by other boats from the lake).

The location of Bellezza Grande 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 Grande can be well suited for those who do not wish to rent a car.

The Main Villa – Bellezza del Lago

The Bellezza villa 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.

The main villa measures 460 square meters (about 5000 sq ft) in size and presents a very fitting floor plan that allows families and groups separate and private sleeping quarters and also inviting common areas that the group can enjoy together.
