Residence Casa e Vela is an aparthotel directly overlooking Lake Maggiore, in Oggebbio, about 3 km from Cannero Riviera.
The property offers studios and apartments with lake views, many equipped with a balcony or private terrace, a kitchen or full kitchenette and a private bathroom: solutions designed both for short stays as a couple and for larger families, with some units accommodating up to six people thanks to sofa beds and additional bunk beds. Several rooms overlook the water, the garden or the surrounding mountains.
Guests have access to a private beach equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, a terrace on the lake where buffet breakfast is served during the summer months, and the option to rent canoes, pedal boats and small boats to reach the Borromean Islands. The area is well suited to sailing, windsurfing, swimming and hiking, while the Swiss border is about a 15-minute drive away. Private parking and WiFi are free throughout the property.
Residence Casa e Vela offers a range of studios and apartments that share some basic features: private bathroom, kitchenette or full kitchen and, in most cases, a direct or partial lake view. Sizes range from 25 sqm for the simplest rooms to 48 sqm for the largest apartment, designed for groups of up to six people thanks to bunk beds and additional sofa beds.
What mainly differentiates the room types are the outdoor spaces and interior layout: some units have a furnished balcony, others a larger terrace with table and chairs, and others a garden patio. The apartments with a separate living room offer their own dining area and satellite TV, while the more affordable rooms focus on the essentials with a kitchenette and independent entrance. Those seeking more privacy can opt for the two-bedroom solutions.

Residence Casa e Vela stands directly on the lakeside promenade of Oggebbio, a small town in Verbano-Cusio-Ossola overlooking the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore. The area retains a residential and peaceful character, with period villas and gardens that reach down to the water, away from the tourist traffic of the lake’s larger towns.
Cannero Riviera is about 3 km away, while Verbania can be reached via 10 km of scenic coastal road. The Swiss border is about a 15-minute drive away, convenient for those wishing to visit Locarno or Lugano in a day. The nearest railway stations are Porto Valtravaglia, 4.8 km away, and Caldè, 6 km away, while Milan Malpensa Airport is about 38 km away. For dinner or a drink, Ristorante Hemingway is just 20 metres from the property.
From here, boat, canoe or pedal boat excursions to the Borromean Islands, with their botanical gardens and fishing villages, are easy to arrange. In summer, the lake is well suited to sailing, windsurfing and swimming, while the hinterland offers hiking trails towards the Val Grande National Park, about 13 km away. Also worth visiting are the Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens in Verbania, about 11 km away, particularly striking in spring for their camellia and rhododendron blooms. In winter, the proximity to the Alps also allows for short trips to the region’s ski slopes.
