Property for sale in Lombardia

Description

A truly exclusive place, Maccagno stands out from other lakeside towns for its panoramic position, with views northwards beyond the Swiss border and southwards towards Verbania and Stresa. The territory reaches back to the mountains at Val Veddasca to Lake Delio, at an altitude of about 1,000 metres. The town was built around the marina, with little roads that exude the atmosphere of a coastal village. A splendid medieval imperial tower dominates the town, soaring up from an enchanting natural backdrop.
Today Maccagno is an attraction for tourists who are enticed by its beautiful beach, its lovely rocks for sunbathing over the lake, its mild climate guaranteeing extended holidays, and the lovely landscapes and history-packed locations in the area: the Borromeo Islands with their splendid Italian style gardens, Angera Castle that dates back to the XIIth century, the hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, built in the twelfth century, the splendid villas run by FAI (the Italian Environmental Foundation - Fondo Ambientale Italiano) and the gardens of Villa Taranto in Verbania, to mention just a few.
