Luxury Properties in Stresa

Nestled between the green slopes of the Alps and the shimmering waters of Lake Maggiore, Stresa is one of the most iconic and refined destinations in Northern Italy. Known since the 19th century as a favourite retreat of the European aristocracy, this town has preserved its timeless charm: a sophisticated balance of natural landscape, historic architecture and an international lifestyle. Walking along the flower-lined lakefront, past Belle Époque hotels and noble villas overlooking the water, you feel the noble and cosmopolitan soul of a place that has remained authentic while discreetly embracing the world.

Stresa, cultural and scenic heart of Lake Maggiore

Stresa’s strategic location, facing the Borromean Islands and surrounded by gentle green hills, makes it one of the most desirable places to purchase a luxury property. Its historic centre is a gem of liberty architecture, with elegant boutiques, historic cafés, and manicured gardens directly on the lake. Here, history meets modern comfort: museums, theatres, international music events and starred restaurants thrive in an atmosphere of elegance and ease.
