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. 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 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.

people or people with walking difficulties.
