Our selection of properties, fit to start a bed & breakfast

Have you always been dreaming of starting a bed & breakfast to show the world the beauty of Lago Maggiore? Here are some perfect properties for your purpose


If you think that those looking at our website are only interested in buying houses for sale Lago Maggiore because they want to move there, then you are wrong. 


Some people are interested in buying luxury villas where to spend their holidays or enjoy their weekends. And then, there is a particular category of buyers, that is those who choose to buy a home to create their own bed & breakfast and offer their hospitality to tourists.


TURNING YOUR HOUSE INTO A B&B


There are many reasons why some choose to start such an activity, for example because they want to have a new income or make the most of a property or maybe just host people from all over the world. Different reasons mean different houses to turn into a b&b.


Some people choose a house front Lago Maggiore, surrounded by greenery and overlooking the Lake: the perfect place to offer tranquillity and stunning views to their guests. Others prefer not so big villas (max 2 - 3 bedrooms), so that they can better handle the accommodation and services. 


For those who decide to turn Arona villas or those in Stresa into a bed & breakfast, the goal is to offer not only a luxury stay but also a unique vacation in the most visited places on Lago Maggiore. In Spring and Summer tourists who love the Bel Paese crowd Arona, Stresa and also Verbania, Cannero, Cannobio and Lago d’Orta.

CREATING A B&B AT THE LAKE FOR LESS THAN € 600,000 


Buying a house to start a bed & breakfast can sometimes be an unfulfilled dream for many, due to the high property prices. Actually, if you are good at searching, Lago Maggiore offers real estate investments even under € 600,000, which meet specific needs.


For example, those looking for a ready-to-use solution that does not require further renovation and works to host their guests, there are several properties available. For example, this villa in Nebbiuno, nestled between the walls of Fosseno. Here you are far from the crowds of tourists and you can appreciate the stone-paved alleys, the view of the lake in the distance, the silent and suggestive sunsets. Despite the recent renovations, original features have been kept such as the stone fireplace or the wooden beams on the ceiling that give charm and beauty to the entire property. All at a price of € 590,000.


Whereas, those looking for an already working business can choose to buy this prestigious apartment not far from Arona, offering wide spaces and bright rooms, small terraces overlooking the Lake and the Rocca di Angera and even an elevator with private access to the home. All this for only € 350,000.


Buying a house for a bed & breakfast on Lago Maggiore is certainly an important step, which cannot be taken lightly.
