About this property
Someone's great-great-grandmother had very good taste. Built around 1900 in the Liberty style, this villa in Cittiglio arrives with frescoed ceilings, original cementine floors, wrought-iron windows, and two fireplaces, one in the living room, one in the kitchen. These are not reproduction details; they are the real thing, and they have survived intact.
Spread across three levels, the 480 m² interior is currently arranged as three independent flats, including a former caretaker's flat with its own separate entrance. That configuration gives a future owner genuine options: restore it as a single grand residence, retain the split layout for family or rental use, or somewhere in between. The 6,000 m² plot adds further scope to the picture.
The listing states the property requires renovation, and that is the central fact to hold onto here. What the condition of the structure, services, and systems actually looks like is something a surveyor and architect need to answer on the ground before any decision is made. The upside is that nothing about this place has been modernised away. Every original detail is still there because nobody has touched it.
Cittiglio sits in the hills above Lake Maggiore, a part of northern Lombardy that tends to be quieter than the famous lake towns further south. At €450,000 for a Liberty villa of this scale, the math is clear enough, but the renovation budget that sits alongside it needs to be established early and independently.
