Liberty Villa Portion, Baveno
Baveno, Lake Maggiore, Lake Maggiore, Italy
Why We Selected It
Villas on this shore of Lake Maggiore are usually sold whole, at several million, or carved into small apartments with no ground of their own. This is the rare middle: a Liberty villa divided into only two homes, so you own a genuine half of the building — your own entrance, your own floor plan, and a mature garden planted with the species that belong to this lake. It sits among the historic residences of Baveno, a short walk from the lungolago, with the Borromean islands out in front and the mountains behind. The climate is part of the case: even at the height of summer, the air moving between the lake and the mountains keeps these houses cool.

Life Here
The lake
The lungolago is a few minutes on foot: the promenade, the boat landing, and the ferries out to Isola Bella, Isola dei Pescatori and Isola Madre.
The street
One of Baveno's most established residential areas, surrounded by historic villas and their gardens — quiet, green and private.
Summer air
The meeting of lake and mountains keeps a breeze moving through the house; the rooms stay cool and ventilated even in the hottest weeks.
The garden
Around 600 m² of mature planting in the Lake Maggiore tradition — the part of the house that gets used from April to October.
Getting there
Direct rail from Milan to Baveno and Stresa, with Milan Malpensa airport roughly 45 minutes away by road.
Our Perspective
Why it works
A 140 m² half of a Liberty villa with its own entrance, lake-facing living room and 600 m² of garden, minutes from the Baveno lakefront — space and privacy that an apartment on this shore cannot offer.
Ownership case
Baveno sits on the Borromean gulf among protected historic residences, where the villa stock is finite and rarely divided this generously. Homes that combine a period building, a lake view and real garden are the scarcest part of it.
What makes it special
The combination of an independent entrance, a fireplace living room opening onto the lake, and a mature semi-private garden — a villa life, without a whole villa to run.
Best suited for
Someone who wants a finished, characterful base on Lake Maggiore with outdoor space and privacy, for long summers and easy weekends from Milan or Malpensa.
