Villa, Stresa

We are offering for sale a magnificent Art Nouveau villa situated in a commanding position above Stresa, with panoramic views over Lake Maggiore and the Borromean Islands.

The property is located in a private and peaceful setting, appreciated for its exposure and proximity to the centre of Stresa, which can be reached in about five minutes by car, where all the main services, the marina, restaurants and high-end accommodation facilities are located.

The villa was built in the 1920s at the behest of the Mandadori family, who chose this elevated position as a place dedicated to rest and relaxation.

Over the course of more than a century, the property has had very few owners and has always been carefully and respectfully maintained. The work carried out over time has focused on preserving the building, keeping its original character intact and gradually integrating elements of contemporary comfort without altering its historical identity.

The property covers a total area of approximately 900 square metres, mainly distributed over three levels.

The spacious and well-proportioned interior spaces revolve around a central staircase leading to the sleeping area.

The reception areas are bright and overlook the lake, while the sleeping area comprises a total of eleven bedrooms, most of which offer views of the lake and surrounding mountains.

The villa is surrounded by a private park of approximately 7,000 square metres, featuring centuries-old trees, shaded paths and large green areas. The garden includes a panoramic swimming pool and a rich variety of botanical specimens, with some of great value that bloom throughout the different seasons.

The interior finishes retain many original period features, including inlaid wooden floors, historic glass, period fireplaces, marble and decorative stucco. The overall atmosphere is that of an elegant and welcoming residence, where the historic nature of the property coexists with functionality suited to current needs.

The villa is in good structural condition and can be inhabited immediately or adapted with targeted interventions according to the preferences of the future owner.

This property is ideal for those who want a prestigious residence in Stresa, in a panoramic location offering complete privacy without sacrificing the convenience of amenities. Perfect as both a main residence and a second home, the villa offers generous spaces, a charming park and a view of Lake Maggiore that remains unchanged over time.
