There are houses whose story does not need to be told – you can feel it from the very first moment. Borgo di Reno is one of them.
Nestled in the historic heart of Reno di Leggiuno on the eastern shore of Lake Maggiore, this remarkable house has been part of the village since 1862. Following a meticulous restoration, it now begins a new chapter. Its original architecture has been carefully preserved while seamlessly complemented by contemporary comfort and refined Italian living. The result is a home that honours its past while embracing the present.
Borgo di Reno welcomes its guests as an intimate boutique residence offering two to three elegantly appointed apartments for up to twelve guests. Natural materials, carefully selected antique furnishings, timeless design classics and the original Murano chandelier give each apartment its own distinctive character, creating a harmonious balance between tradition and modernity.
The location is one of the house's greatest assets. Situated in the picturesque bay of Reno di Leggiuno, just south of Laveno, the terraces and balconies enjoy sweeping views across Lake Maggiore towards the Borromean Islands and the Alpine skyline. The public beach is only around 200 metres away and can easily be reached on foot.
The same care devoted to restoring the historic building is reflected in its modern facilities. A lift connects all floors, while a private garage with an electric vehicle charging station, smart home technology, high-speed Wi-Fi and energy-efficient air conditioning ensure contemporary comfort. Every modern feature has been thoughtfully integrated to preserve the character and elegance of the house.
Borgo di Reno is also an ideal starting point for exploring the beauty of Lake Maggiore. The Borromean Islands, the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, historic villas and gardens, charming lakeside villages and scenic hiking trails are all within easy reach, inviting guests to discover the region at their own pace.
Borgo di Reno is neither a hotel nor a conventional holiday apartment. It is a historic house with more than 160 years of history—carefully preserved, thoughtfully reimagined, and welcoming guests who appreciate architecture, quality and the timeless beauty of Lake Maggiore.
