About this property

Located directly on the shore of Lake Maggiore in the picturesque town of Ranco, the beautiful Villa Eden Al Lago awaits your visit. This stunning, historic villa is set over four floors and offers incredible views over the lake and the Apline peaks. With eight bedrooms, multiple living and outdoor areas, and many other unique features, this house is the ideal choice for those seeking a welcoming retreat with families and friends. 

As you approach Villa Eden Al Lago, you will see a grand, elegant villa which sits above a landscaped garden offering several terraces, a wisteria-shaded lounge area, multi-sport court and a bocce field. This idyllic villa is stunning inside and out, blending old and new perfectly. During recent renovations, the historic exteriors, fireplaces, flooring and beams have been carefully preserved, while the interiors have been updated with the highest quality furnishings and chic design. Throughout the home, you will find solid wood floorings, a contemporary kitchen and five well-appointed bathrooms, some of which have luxurious free-standing baths.

The villa's accommodation is set over four floors; firstly, the lower ground floor is a great social hub for gatherings in the evenings. This ample, open-plan space has a stylish bar, seating areas and games to play including billiard, table tennis and darts. You can access the gym, sauna and steam room here or the private swimming pool. On the ground floor, you will find the gorgeous fully-equipped kitchen; you can dine in the kitchen, the formal dining room or outdoors. The main living room is also on this level. The eight bedrooms are spread between the first and second floors. Some of these rooms are en-suite, while others share spacious family bathrooms.

The kids have various games inside and outside, including a dart board, pool table, football table, badminton, volleyball and basketball equipment. While the kids are busy playing, parents can enjoy some rest and use the sauna or steam room.

Outdoors, this green oasis offers direct access to the lake, so you can enjoy a refreshing dip or use the stand-up paddleboards. A private swimming pool is also lined with sun loungers, outdoor lounge spaces, and an atmospheric al-fresco dining table. 

With the dazzling Lake Maggiore just a few paces away, Villa Eden Al Lago is a fantastic place for nature lovers to stay. This beautiful lake is the second largest in Italy, surrounded by incredible mountainous scenery and hiking trails. If you prefer to indulge in delicious meals and shopping, you can explore the many lake-side villages or spend the day in Milan. There are boundless opportunities here at Lake Maggiore.

While sitting out in the spacious garden, you may feel in complete solitude with only the local wildlife as your neighbours. The villa is set within walking distance of a charming village with a historic centre.

In Ranco village, you can stroll around the centuries-old streets, where you will discover ancient churches, a brilliant transport museum and an array of cafes and restaurants. One of the area’s finest restaurants, Il Sole di Ranco, can be found in the village, just by the lake, so you can take in the fantastic views over the lake as you sample the fresh, local produce as part of the delectable tasting menu. Suppose you would like to spend the day sunbathing at a beach. In that case, you do not need to miss out due to the in-land setting, as there are two lake beaches within walking distance, which are called Spiaggia 

Ranco is one of many villages nearby, as the whole lake shore is dotted with towns and villages well-connected by road and ferries that run all day. You can choose from a vast list of towns and villages to visit, but some top choices include Stresa, Verbania and Baveno. As the lake extends into Switzerland, you can also visit some Swiss towns like Locarno, which is a 75km drive away but can be seen as part of a full-day boat tour. 

Along with the fantastic villages and towns nearby, you can spend some time getting away from it all and making the most of the scenic natural surroundings. Walkers, hikers and cyclists will have a wealth of routes to choose from, including mountainous hikes and gentle shoreline strolls; you can even push yourself and climb Sasso del Ferro Mountain to take in the incredible views from the top.
