Villa San Giovanni is in a much-desired location close to the town of Pallanza, which holds a wonderful position on the shores of Lake Maggiore, the second-largest lake in Italy. The villa is slightly elevated, giving it fabulous views over the lake. It boasts extensive gardens at any property by Lake Maggiore, set in 15,000m² of beautifully maintained grounds.
The prestigious villa boasts traditional interiors with period and antique furnishings, yet has all the necessary modern amenities for a more than comfortable stay. It has high ceilings and beautiful parquet oak flooring, giving guests a real sense of exclusivity. Villa San Giovanni can accommodate up to eighteen guests, making it the perfect base for a special family celebration or gathering; in the lower season, just the first floor will be opened, sleeping up to nine guests for a reduced price.
The main living accommodation on the ground floor includes living and dining rooms, a games room and a fully-equipped kitchen. Upstairs, the first floor is surrounded by a large balcony from which the beautiful lake views can be enjoyed. There is a central living room with the bedrooms arranged around it. On this level are four bedrooms, a combination of doubles and twins, three boast en-suite bathrooms and a family bathroom. On the second floor are a further four bedrooms and three family bathrooms.
The outside space features gardens gently sloping down over different levels and terraces towards the lake. There are plenty of fabulous spots for picnics or al fresco dining while sampling a range of local delicacies. The large private pool is the perfect spot to soak up the surroundings, and due to its south-facing position, you can enjoy the sun all day long!
- Take care when using the garden steps in the evening and perhaps if necessary bring a torch due to a lack of lighting.
- The friendly and discreet house keepers live in a cottage at the end of the garden. The housekeepers have a dog, please bear this in mind if you are bringing your own dog.
- Please note that the property is available for 9 and 18 people, prices vary and restrictions apply.
