Villa Drahnet-Zervudachi (La Villa del Pascià):

In 1849, the Egyptian Pasha Drahnet-Zervudachi built a magnificent villa in Oggebbio and designed the accompanying park entirely in the Arabic style. The Pasha, who was a high-ranking official at the court of the Egyptian Viceroy Pasha Ismail and who, according to rumors, had become very wealthy through a fortunate inheritance, created here—nestled between the green of the mountains and the blue of the water—an island of the Orient on Lake Maggiore. The “Villa del Pascià” was synonymous with immeasurable wealth among the common people, for there lived over 40 servants, gardeners, and stablehands alone, who were responsible for the well-being of the lords and ladies and their numerous guests. One of them was the famous composer Giuseppe Verdi, who, as a close friend of Pasha Drahnet, was commissioned by Viceroy Ismail to compose an opera for the newly opened opera house in Cairo. Thus, inspired by the opulent Arabian ambiance on Lake Maggiore, the masterpiece “Aida” was created; it premiered to triumphant acclaim in the Egyptian capital in 1871 and went on to enjoy a triumphant run around the world.

Residenza del Pascià:

The well-maintained “Residenza del Pascià” vacation complex is located on the grounds of the former “Villa Drahnet-Zervudachi” and captivates guests above all with its unique park featuring flower-lined, secluded paths and breathtaking views of Lake Maggiore. From both the interior and the private outdoor areas of the tastefully furnished apartments, you can enjoy beautiful—and in some cases, breathtaking—views of the lake. The resort’s complimentary recreational facilities are particularly noteworthy: Separated from the residence only by the lakeside road, the beautiful pool with an outdoor shower (approx. 18 m x 8 m, open from around the end of May to around the end of September, weather permitting), a spacious children’s pool, a playground, 2 tennis courts, a bocce court, several barbecue areas, and the truly incomparable lakeside garden, offering in some places breathtaking views of the lake and the opposite shore. The “Residenza del Pascia” ensures your privacy and offers entertainment, sports, and relaxation. The center of Oggebbio, with its shopping options, is just a few minutes’ walk away via a scenic country road. Free parking is available within the gated residence.
