Come and stay at the Golden Camellia

The guest house, a natural oasis in which to relax, is located in the historic garden of Villa Anelli in Oggebbio, on the Lake Maggiore. Close to the Swiss side of the lake, the Villa is easily accessible, and can be reached by car. The airport in Malpensa is one hour away, whereas Milan and Turin are one hour and a half away.

The garden, which started in 1872, allows camellia lovers to experience the proximity of large mother plants, and to immerse themselves into a colourful collection of camellias of rare shapes and colours.

The guest house, which is open all year round, offers pleasant stays surrounded by blooming flowers in spring and winter, by lovely cool weather in summer, which is typical of the lake, and by wonderful colours and fruits in autumn.

The house, which used to be the home of the gardener, is a rustic stone-house typical of the 1800s. It is on two independent floors, with a glazed porch on the ground floor and a terrace on the floor above, overlooking part of the camellia collection, the lake and the castles of Cannero. We offer two solutions: Giovanna and Barbara.

Both solutions are characterized by exposed beam ceilings and an antique decor; they can accommodate two or three people, depending on the need. One apartment, the ground floor,  includes a bedroom, a private bathroom and a living room with a small kitchen. The second, the first,  is an indipendent fully equipped studio provided of private bathroom, bed, kitchenette, terrace facing the lake with view on the Castles of Cannero. Wifi is also available, as well as lots of tips and support on activities to make your stay memorable, such as visits of other nearby privat historical gardens, or delicious restaurants to enjoy traditional food.
