Alina Villa

Providing idyllic holidays for groups of 12, Villa Alina enjoys an elevated lake view setting from its tranquil private parkland on the Baveno hillside, making it an excellent accommodation choice for year-round stays.

The mansion, built during the 1940s by a wealthy family from Milan, is surrounded by a 20,000 square-meter park with manicured lawns and pine woods, offering beautiful views of the lake and Borromean Gulf.

Alina is located 1 km uphill from the cozy village of Baveno, where you can find many restaurants, bars, and alimentary shops. The villa is also close to Stresa (5 km) and less than 60 km from the International Airport of Milano Malpensa, easily reachable in about one hour by highway or train from Milano Centrale station.

Having undergone a recent refurbishment, the villa is adorned with all the latest modern conveniences and enhanced with a contemporary twist. Air-conditioning is featured in all five bedrooms. Other modern features include a wellness area with a gym, a massage room, a Jacuzzi tub for 5 people, a steam bath, flat-screen TVs, a safe, WIFI access, and a heated pool (heated with solar panels). The style is elegant, sober, and refined, embellished with soft colors that, together with the large windows, give the house plenty of light.
