Lake Monate

Lake Monate is a small Italian lake measuring just 3 km long and 1 km wide. It sits in the province of Varese in the region of Lombardy, not far from nearby Lake Maggiore. The setting of the lake is idyllic, surrounded by forests and fields. The waters of Lake Monate are considered some of the cleanest of any of Italy’s lakes. You won’t find any motorised water sports on the lake but it’s ideal for bathers and those happy to take a more sedate pace in a rowing boat, canoe or pedalo. It was a popular holiday resort at the start of the 20th century. These days, it is a hidden gem in the Italian Lakes. Find yourself a lakeside villa and you will have a private stretch of Lake Monate all to yourself.

Our villas on Lake Monate are situated on the lakeside itself. They  opportunity to discover the charms of one of Italy’s smallest lakes whilst being within a short drive of Lake Maggiore.
