Villa Marianne is a spectacular 3 bedroom villa enjoying the most jaw-droppingly spectacular views over Lake Maggiore. Set on a hillside, it is within walking distance of the lakeside in the charming village of Suna. Renovated to an incredibly high standard, the owners have created a truly special home. Guests can relax and enjoy the private heated pool, jacuzzi, bocce court and golf practice areas during their stay.

As you come into the villa, you enter a spacious, open plan living and dining area. A comfortable corner sofa has been positioned so that guests can enjoy the wonderful lake views from here through the large windows directly opposite. A trio of coffee tables sits in the middle whilst another coffee table is arranged between two large teal-coloured armchairs. Bookshelves and a Smart TV sit on the wall along with a wood stove, perfect for those staying during the cooler Winter months. Guests can also connect their smart phones to a music speaker. To the other side of the living area is a large dining table comfortably seating up to 10 guests.

Two stunning wooden storage units then line the way to the well equipped kitchen. Two bar stools arranged under an island provide a convivial setting for meal preparation. Ample dinnerware, crockery and cutlery is stored within sleek white units. There is a large built in fridge and freezer, a dishwasher, coffee machine, oven, ice machine and induction hob. A walk-in pantry sits behind sliding doors to one side of this space. Here you will find a second fridge and freezer along with plenty of additional storage space for groceries. Also on this floor is a WC.

Huge windows running along the entire length of this living, dining and kitchen area provide access to a large terrace. Furnished with both outdoor sofas and chairs as well as a dining table seating 10, this enjoys the most phenomenal 180 degree views over the lake.

A staircase takes guests to the lower floor of the villa. Here you will discover the bedrooms. The first bedroom is on the right hand side. It is furnished with a large double bed, built-in bookshelves, a bespoke wooden unit and wall-hung bedside tables with reading lights positioned above. Windows to the front make the most of the wonderful lake views and there is access to a terrace. The second bedroom sits along the corridor. It is similarly furnished and is again positioned to make the most of the superb views of the lake. Sliding doors to the right hand side lead to the same terrace furnished with comfortable chairs. This terrace enjoys direct access to the bocce court. These bedrooms share a bathroom with large shower, sink, bidet and WC.

The master bedroom suite sits at the end of the hallway. Also enjoying phenomenal lake views, it again has access to another private terrace furnished with outdoor chairs. As well as the bedroom itself, it boasts a walk-in wardrobe with plenty of storage space as well as a luxurious ensuite bathroom. Here, guests can enjoy a soak in the free-standing bath tub whilst gazing at the lake views beyond or opt for a shower instead.

Two of the bedrooms have remote controlled Venetian blinds on the windows, perfect for allowing you to enjoy the view without even having to step out of bed in the morning. Beds are incredibly comfortable with high quality linens and all measure 180 cm wide. In addition, a music speaker is provided in each room for guests to enjoy.

Finally on this floor is a laundry room with washing machine and dryer.

The decor throughout is contemporary and stylish. The owner is extremely talented and has designed unique, bespoke furnishings to perfectly fit within the space. High ceilings provide an incredible sense of space which is wonderfully sociable but the design also allows guests to enjoy privacy should they be in search of some peace and relaxation.

The house has also been equipped with the latest 21st century technology. Wooden floors on the ground floor and tiled floors on the lower level hide an underfloor cooling and heating system. This ensures that the property is the perfect temperature whatever time of year you choose to stay. This use of the latest technology has also ensured that the property has achieved the top energy ranking, truly making it an energy efficient, sustainable home.

The owners have also thought of everything guests may need during their stay. There are hairdryers in every room, whilst umbrellas are provided by the door in case of rain during your stay. Outdoor blankets and cushions ensure guests can stay warm and comfortable in the garden into the early hours, and portable, re-chargeable lighting can be moved by guests to create the perfect setting wherever you choose to sit.

Outside, the space is just as spectacular. Divided into separate areas on a number of different terraces, there are a number of areas for guests to sit together as well as plenty of private spaces for some time alone. To one side of the house sits a private heated swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers. Behind here, the sound of water running down a cleverly lit waterfall creates a relaxed, calming space. There is also an outdoor shower here and large parasols provide shade from the Summer sun. A small pool bar has been created close to the house, equipped with a fridge and with a collection of plastic glasses for guests to use poolside. In front of this area, a swing seat is positioned to make the most of the lake views.

Sitting above the villa and pool is a jacuzzi. The views from here are possibly even more impressive than from the main terrace so expect to lose hours of your day here! A large day bed provides an idyllic spot for an afternoon nap or to enjoy a book. And a stone bench is built into the wall above the pool, providing another charming area from which to enjoy the views.

There are plenty of other ways to keep everyone entertained during your stay. In front of the house there is a private putting green, behind which is a bocce court. And there is a second golf practice area above the swimming pool. A small amphitheatre to the rear of the house can be a great setting for a private music performance to mark a special occasion. For those in search of a luxurious, relaxing stay, then we can also arrange for guests to enjoy a private massage on the terrace. Privacy is guaranteed via outdoor curtains. And, of course, we can definitely recommend some wonderful private chefs. However, for those that do enjoy cooking, there is an outdoor kitchen area equipped with a combined wood-fired pizza oven and BBQ as well as an outdoor sink.

There is plenty of parking for up to 5 cars in two different parking areas at the villa. Two EV chargers are provided for guests to use free of charge. Paths are lit automatically at night. The house is situated at the end of a private road so guests can be assured that there will be no passing traffic.

Please note that this villa is unsuitable for young children. We are only able to accept bookings if children are aged 12 and above.

The villa is located in a quiet, upmarket residential area on the hillside above Lake Maggiore. Suna is a small but charming lakeside town boasting a number of small shops and restaurants. It is a 20 minute walk downhill from the house. Please note that there isn't a boat stop in Suna so guests will need a car in order to get out and about during their stay. Alternatively, 10 minutes on foot from Suna, guests will reach Pallanza where there is a boat stop as well as a number of additional restaurants and shops.

The area surrounding the house is absolutely beautiful and the property provides a perfect base to visit towns such as Arona, Pallanza and Stresa. Alternatively, guests can make the most of the lake and spend time on the beaches, try out the water sports on offer or hire a boat and get out on the water. This is also a great base to visit the Borromean Islands. Isola Bella is beautiful and it's worth a trip to see its beautiful gardens and palace as well as the famous white peacocks. The property can also be used as a base to visit Lake Orta. And it's a great base to enjoy hikes around Monterosso or towards Mergozzo.
