Naturally Nebbiolo

If you could pick up your home and place it anywhere in the world, an Italian, hillside spot with 180-degree views of Lake Maggiore would be a superb bet. Well, the dream location has already been snapped up by this Piedmont villa, and these panoramic scenes could not be any more beautiful. From the privacy of your infinity pool, balcony, and expansive, green garden, it feels as if the entire landscape is yours alone. Standing in a bold statement against its organic country setting, the bright red exterior offers a warm welcome and a colourful start to your stay. Inside, a monochrome theme cools things down with sharp edges, clean lines, and a sleek, modern, grey kitchen. Lunch doesn’t get any better than feasting upon local produce and wine from the renowned Piedmont vineyards. With the peaceful village of Magognino to call home, more shops, restaurants, and a picturesque promenade can be found down on the lake. From there, why not catch a ferry to explore magical islands, or the natural beauty of both Italy and Switzerland. Whether on land or water, there is nothing this home cannot offer you.
