In Stresa, on Lake Maggiore just 150 meters from the lake, this historic property is set in a spacious 3,100 m² park surrounded by centuries-old trees and sculptures.
The prestigious and representative villa was designed by the famous Milanese architect Rino Ferrini, who had it built in the 1920s. Both the interior and exterior design feature high-quality architectural details.
This stylish, historic property comprises approx. 560 m² on three floors, plus cellar and attic. With a ceiling height of over four meters, the light-flooded villa offers a unique sense of space. Although the villa has been repeatedly renovated, architecturally valuable details such as the Palladian staircase, as well as old marble and herringbone wooden floors, stucco relief ceilings, stained glass and old wood paneling have been preserved and restored.
You enter the villa on the first floor into a representative, semi-circular atrium with mosaic floors. From there, a corridor, which opens up a visual axis along the entire width of the villa, leads to the living-dining room with an ornately decorated open wood fireplace, elaborately laid parquet floors and an adjoining veranda with a view of the garden. On the first floor there is also a reading room with piano, a study, the large kitchen, a small dining room and a bathroom. The Palladian staircase, which is lit by a large window with colored glass, leads to the private bedrooms on the second floor. The master bedroom with bathroom, walk-in closet and adjoining terrace is very spacious. Three further bedrooms as well as two bathrooms, a checkroom and further terraces with beautiful views of the landscaped garden complete the upper floor. In the basement is the garage with 3-4 parking spaces, a large multi-purpose room and classic cellar rooms, the heating system and further rooms that can be combined to form a small granny apartment.
Stresa's location on the southern shore of the Borromean Gulf with a fantastic view over the gulf and its islands to the opposite shore as far as Monte Tamaro in the north, as well as its charming hinterland around the Mottarone, made Stresa a popular meeting place for artists and poets, the moneyed aristocracy, but also for crowned heads and politics from early on. Stresa is still one of the most famous towns on Lake Maggiore and one of the most important tourist attractions in Piedmont. From here you can visit the beautiful Borromean Islands by boat and it seems almost impossible not to fall in love with the magnificent palaces, rich in art and history, and the beautiful lush gardens. In the beautiful old town of Stresa, pretty bars, stores and typical restaurants invite you to linger and stroll. The hilly hinterland offers numerous hiking and biking trails in addition to a ski area on Monte Mottarone. The two nearest golf courses of the total of 16 around Lake Maggiore can be reached by car in 15 minutes each.
