Baveno

Baveno is a small town on the western shore of Lake Maggiore in Piemonte, northern Italy, set between the water and the wooded hills that rise behind it. It is known for its lakeside promenade, its pink granite, and views across to the Borromean Islands, and it has a mild climate that draws visitors and second-home buyers. Property here ranges from apartments in the historic centre to villas on the slopes above the lake, with the area appealing to those seeking a quiet base within reach of larger lakeside towns.
