Nebbiuno: Location and surroundings of this property

The lakeside village of Nebbiuno is located in the province of Novara, within the Piedmont strip of land bordering Lake Maggiore. Situated in a hilly area rich in vegetation, this village offers both tranquillity and proximity to services and the main lakeside towns, first and foremost Arona. An important tourist centre, well connected to the main motorways, close to Malpensa and 60 km from Milan, Arona lies on the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore. A town with a rich history, Arona was long in the hands of the wealthy and powerful Borromeo family: St Charles Borromeo was in fact born here, in the castle, in 1538. There are many churches and squares in the town, among which the Church of the SS. Martyrs, with its 15th-century frescoes of the Leonardesque school, and the Collegiate Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary are certainly worth mentioning. Moving on to the medieval heart of the town, we discover Piazza del Popolo, with its old-style houses and the pier, on which stands a small lighthouse, a favourite spot for tourists. However, the most important and fascinating monument in Arona is undoubtedly the colossus of St. Charles Borromeo, which, with a height of about 35 metres, ranks second among the tallest statues in the world, preceded only by the Statue of Liberty. Arona also offers a variety of activities for tourists: an historic centre full of shops and restaurants, a beautiful lakeside promenade to stroll along, and lidos and small beaches where you can spend hot summer days. In this wonderful historical and natural setting you can find houses for sale Lago Maggiore.
