@david_kijlstra Since when are we selling lakeside hotels on Lake Maggiore for €850k… A 40 room hotel. Right on the promenade. With a panoramic terrace, private beach access, and uninterrupted lake views. The location is ridiculous. You are in Belgirate, one of the most prestigious towns on the lake. Five minutes from Stresa, the luxury hotspot. Thirty minutes to Malpensa Airport. And lakefront zoning that you will never get again. Some extra things worth knowing: • Total surface approx 2,120 m² inside • A 115 m² panoramic terrace directly over the water • An independent suite you can turn into an owner unit • A historic darsena (boathouse) that can become a café or wellness room • Fully classified for hotel use, transferred free of debt and encumbrances • Strong tourism demand in this Stresa–Belgirate corridor, huge ADR potential after renovation Yes, it needs a full gut renovation… but that’s exactly why the upside is enormous. For €832,500 minimum bid you will not find a better lakefront hospitality value add in Italy. Auction is in 17 days. Only for my fastest people. Comment Lake and I’ll send you the listing. #hotels #hotelforsale #hiddengems
