Villa Diomira is a bed and breakfast located in Cannobio, in Piedmont, on the shores of Lake Maggiore, just 13 km from Piazza Grande in Locarno.
The property occupies a building in the hamlet of Sant’Agata and stands out for its garden with a panoramic terrace overlooking the water, offering views that stretch from the lake to the surrounding mountains. The three rooms, all doubles with private bathroom, share a style furnished with parquet flooring and wooden details, but differ in size and features: from the 19 sqm of the most compact one to the 46 sqm of the one with a bathtub, passing through the room with a private balcony overlooking the lake.
Every morning an Italian breakfast is served, while the garden and terrace remain available to guests throughout the day. Nearby, guests can enjoy fishing, cycling, canoeing and windsurfing, making Villa Diomira an interesting choice for those seeking a peaceful stay on Lake Maggiore, between Piedmont and the Swiss border, with easy access to Locarno, Ascona and the Borromean Islands.
Villa Diomira offers three types of double rooms, all with private bathroom, lake view and mountain view, designed to give guests the feeling of looking directly out over Lake Maggiore. Careful finishes, parquet flooring and classic-style furnishings are common to all the rooms, as are the toiletry sets, bathrobes and hairdryer provided in every room.
The main differences concern the size and some distinctive details: the most compact room measures 19 sqm, the intermediate one at 26 sqm includes a private balcony overlooking the lake, while the largest, at 46 sqm, has a bathtub in addition to the shower. All the rooms accommodate up to two people and are designed mainly for couples looking for a relaxed stay in a lakeside setting.
The most compact of the three rooms, at 19 sqm, still offers a full view of the lake, garden and mountains. The parquet flooring, wardrobe and safe complete an essential yet well-kept space, ideal for a couple seeking simplicity without giving up the panoramic view.
Larger than the previous room, this 26 sqm room is the only one with a private balcony overlooking the lake, perfect for breakfast or relaxing at sunset. The large double bed and wooden furnishings complete a space designed for those who want to enjoy the view from outside as well.
The most spacious room in the property, at 46 sqm, is the only one with a bathtub in addition to the shower. The generous spaces and the view embracing the lake, garden and mountains make it the ideal solution for those seeking maximum comfort during their stay.
Villa Diomira offers guests a garden with a sun terrace and picnic area, ideal for enjoying outdoor days with views over Lake Maggiore and the surrounding mountains. Internet connection is provided by free WiFi throughout the property, while those arriving by car can rely on private garage parking, available for an additional fee.
General services include daily housekeeping, private check-in and check-out, luggage storage and the possibility of requesting a packed lunch for excursions.
