Villa Maria Boutique Hotel is a 3-star property located in Cannobio, on Lake Maggiore, just a few steps from the lakeside promenade and the historic centre of this Piedmontese town.
The hotel occupies a building surrounded by a well-kept garden and offers air-conditioned rooms with private bathroom, free WiFi, safe, electric kettle and flat-screen TV; several units add a balcony or terrace with views of the lake or the surrounding mountains, making the property appealing for both a romantic getaway and a quiet stay. Italian breakfast is served every morning, a good way to start before exploring the village or the lake shores.
Thanks to the private parking available on site, Villa Maria is also well suited to those travelling by car who want to move easily towards Ascona, Locarno or the Borromean Islands. The central location, right in the liveliest area of Cannobio, is among the aspects most appreciated by guests, who consider it ideal for a stay as a couple thanks to the quiet surroundings and proximity to restaurants and bars along the lakeside promenade.
Villa Maria’s five room types share the same basic layout and amenities: all are air-conditioned, feature a private bathroom, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, minibar and electric kettle, and are designed to accommodate up to two people with a large double bed.
What sets them apart is mainly the size, which ranges from 18 sqm in the Double Room with Garden View to 25 sqm in the Standard Double Room, and the presence of a balcony or terrace. The Deluxe rooms and the Deluxe Double Room with Balcony offer a private outdoor space overlooking the lake or the garden, while the rooms without a balcony offer more compact spaces that still come with a view. Some units feature a lake view, others a view of the mountains or the inner garden, catering to different needs, from a romantic stay to a simple rest after a day on Lake Maggiore.
The largest of the Deluxe rooms, with 23 sqm available and a private balcony overlooking the lake and the surrounding mountains. The terrace is the distinctive feature of this room type, ideal for those who want to have breakfast or relax outdoors while looking down on Cannobio.
A 20 sqm room with a balcony overlooking the inner garden and views of the mountains surrounding Cannobio. Compared to the Deluxe room, it gives up the lake view in favour of a greener, more private setting, suited to those seeking quiet during their stay.
Although it has the same size as the previous room, this option stands out for its panoramic terrace directly overlooking Lake Maggiore, a strength that makes it one of the most requested choices among couples.
The most compact room in the property, with 18 sqm and no private outdoor space, but with windows offering glimpses of the lake, the garden and the mountains. A compact, functional choice for those who spend little time in the room.
The most spacious room in the hotel, with 25 sqm that make it the best option for those seeking extra space, even without a balcony. The large windows offer views of the lake, the garden and the surrounding mountains.
Villa Maria Boutique Hotel offers guests a well-kept garden with outdoor furniture, a sun terrace and sun loungers, as well as daily housekeeping and CCTV cameras in the common areas. The rooms, all air-conditioned and non-smoking, are accessible by lift and feature marble or tiled flooring.
Each unit has a private bathroom with shower, free toiletries and a hairdryer, as well as a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, minibar and electric kettle. WiFi is free throughout the property, with a particularly high guest score for this aspect.
For those arriving by car, private parking with a garage is available, while Italian breakfast is served every morning. The combination of outdoor spaces, lake views and well-kept essential services makes the property suitable for both short stays and longer visits.
