The elegant Art Nouveau villa is located directly on the lakeside promenade of the picturesque town of Cannero Riviera, overlooking two small islands with the castle ruins of the Castelli di Cannero. Thanks to its southern exposure, Cannero enjoys an especially mild climate and, due to its lush subtropical vegetation, has earned the nickname “Riviera.” The area is renowned for its evergreen magnolias, camellias, and azaleas. The historic old town with its narrow alleyways, monastery, and the lakeside promenade with a sailing marina evokes the atmosphere of a medieval fishing village. Everything you could wish for—restaurants, shops, and the beach—is within walking distance of the villa.
The property extends over 3,400 sqm and features a lush Mediterranean garden with palms, cypresses, lemon and orange trees. From the gazebo, you can enjoy beautiful views, while the lawn is ideal for games and leisure. The swimming pool is equipped with sun loungers and parasols.
Villa Portobello was built in the early 20th century in classic Art Nouveau style and has recently been meticulously and tastefully modernized. Original frescoes, selected stone floors, and stained-glass windows have been carefully restored and complemented with modern elements, high-quality furnishings, and state-of-the-art technology. The result is a luxurious summer residence in a prime location on Lake Maggiore.
With 450 sqm of living space spread over three levels, the villa offers six bedrooms and four bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to ten guests.
