6 bedrooms villa, 178 m²

Brezzo di Bedero, Varese (province)

Commanding a hilltop position above Germignaga, this villa enjoys a broad, open view across the entire basin of Lake Maggiore, from the Lombard shores to the mountains that close the horizon to the north. This view defines the whole property: it can be seen from almost every room, and the terraces wrapping around the house open it out even further.

At the heart of the home is the large living room on the main level. It is a bright, open-plan space with a curved wall and wide windows that open directly onto the lake. Light enters from several directions, and the polished marble floors reflect the water and the sky. Several French doors connect the living room seamlessly to the panoramic terrace, so life outdoors flows on from life inside.

The living area is served by a contemporary kitchen and a dining room overlooking the lake. There are two bedrooms, each with its own view and generous built-in wardrobes. The carefully finished bathrooms feature walk-in showers and glass countertops. An independent lower level, with direct access to the garden through arched French doors, serves as a service area.

Outside, paved terraces run along every side of the villa, creating spaces for dining outdoors and for looking out over the lake in the shade of the palms. The garden slopes gently down to the pool, which has an automatic cover that keeps it clean. A large double garage and ample manoeuvring space complete the property.

The architecture draws on Mediterranean style, with arches, a terracotta tiled roof and white volumes, and sits with restraint in the green of the hillside. The location combines the privacy of the hilltop with easy reach of the lake’s amenities and good connections to Switzerland and Milan.
