Villa, Stresa

Just a few minutes from the center of Stresa, in a secluded location with panoramic views of the Borromean Gulf, stands this elegant Art Nouveau villa, built in 1875 and expertly restored in 2014.

The renovation project has enhanced the property’s historic character, preserving architectural elements of great value such as the ceilings decorated with original stucco work, the spectacular marble staircase, the wood and mosaic floors, and the period window frames.

A private road leads to the main residence, which spans four levels for a total area of approximately 800 square meters, in addition to a separate guesthouse ideal for guests or staff.

The entrance is graced by a majestic outdoor staircase crafted from white Carrara marble. The ground floor features grand reception rooms, including a bright living room with a fully functional historic fireplace, a library, a panoramic veranda with distinctive glass flooring that offers a glimpse of the room below, the kitchen, the dining room, a study, and a guest bathroom.

The spaces feature ceilings approximately five meters high, adorned with elegant decorations. On the first floor is the master suite with direct access to a large panoramic terrace overlooking the lake, as well as three additional bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, two of which feature a whirlpool tub.

The second floor, distinguished by exposed bleached wood beams, houses a separate apartment consisting of a spacious living room with an open kitchen, two bedrooms with a bathroom, and a charming room located in the villa’s tower.

The property also includes a spacious basement of approximately 150 square meters and a charming private park surrounding the villa, featuring centuries-old trees, decorative fountains, and a small ornamental lake.

This residence offers a truly charming option for those seeking a historic home immersed in tranquility, just a short distance from the center of Stresa and the shores of Lake Maggiore.
