Relais Villa Margherita is a 3-star hotel overlooking Lake Maggiore, one kilometre from the centre of Oggebbio, in Piedmont. The property combines the atmosphere of a period villa with services designed for a relaxing stay, including a garden, an outdoor summer pool and a restaurant serving local specialities for lunch and dinner.
The rooms, tastefully furnished with terracotta floors, are all air-conditioned and equipped with an LCD TV, free WiFi and a private bathroom with hairdryer and toiletries. Some overlook the surrounding mountains, others offer direct lake views, with balconies or private terraces in the higher room categories; the Superior room also features a whirlpool bathtub.
A continental buffet breakfast with homemade cakes is served every morning. The location is ideal for those seeking peace away from the busier centres: Verbania is 9 km away, Cannobio about 20 minutes by car, while the Valgrande National Park and the Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens can be reached in a few minutes by car, making Villa Margherita a convenient base for exploring Lake Maggiore.
The four room types at Relais Villa Margherita share an elegant style, with terracotta floors, air conditioning, LCD TV, minibar and a private bathroom with hairdryer and complimentary bath products. Sizes range between 16 and 19 square metres, a compact format but carefully finished, designed for couples’ stays.
What sets them apart is mainly the view and outlook: some rooms look towards the mountains, others open directly onto Lake Maggiore, with a balcony or terrace in the larger lake-view versions. The Superior Double/Twin Room stands out clearly from the others thanks to its whirlpool bathtub and panoramic terrace, while the other room types focus on a more essential balance between space and comfort. The choice between a double bed or two single beds is available on request at the time of booking for several room types.
An elegant 18 sqm room with panoramic views over Lake Maggiore, the most compact of the lake-facing rooms. Equipped with air conditioning, minibar and a private bathroom with hairdryer and toiletries, it is designed for those who want the view without giving up a cosy setting.
Compared to the lake-view-only room, this type adds a private balcony from which to enjoy the panorama over Lake Maggiore outdoors. Configurable with two single beds, it is the ideal solution for those who don’t want to give up a personal outdoor space.
The most essential room in the range, at 16 sqm with no direct lake view or balcony, but with the same attention to detail as the other rooms: air conditioning, minibar and a private bathroom with hairdryer. Suitable for those simply looking for good value for money.
The only room in the property with a whirlpool bathtub, as well as a private terrace with lake view. At 19 sqm it is among the largest available and represents the top choice for those wanting a touch of spa directly in the room.

On the dining side, the on-site restaurant serves regional specialities for lunch and dinner, alongside a bar, coffee shop and in-room minibar; breakfast can be ordered directly to the room on request, and menus for special diets are available.
For those travelling with pets, dedicated bowls are available, while the property also offers laundry and ironing services, a safe, air conditioning in common areas and free WiFi throughout the property, as well as free private parking convenient for those arriving by car.
Relais Villa Margherita is located in Oggebbio, a small town overlooking the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore, about one kilometre from the town centre. The area retains the peaceful character of lakeside villages, with period villas surrounded by greenery and direct glimpses of the water, away from the tourist traffic of the larger lake towns.
The property is convenient for those travelling both by car and public transport: the Porto Valtravaglia and Caldè railway stations are 4.6 and 5 km away respectively, while Milan Malpensa Airport is about 38 km away. Verbania is 9 km away and Cannobio about 20 minutes by car. Within a few hundred metres there are several places to eat, such as Kaos Cafè just 30 metres away and Ristorante Pizzeria Lago at 550 metres.
For nature lovers, the Valgrande National Park is about 12 km away and is among the wildest protected areas of the western Alps, ideal for hiking in summer. The Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens, 10 km away, offer scenic botanical trails especially in spring. In winter the area is suited to quieter walks along the lake and visits to nearby villages, while in summer the property’s pool and on-site cycling activities allow guests to enjoy the mild climate of Lake Maggiore without travelling far.
