Wonderful Prestigious 19th-Century Villa with Breathtaking Lake Maggiore Views

On the first hills of Stresa, in a dominant position with a spectacular view over Lake Maggiore, stands a prestigious villa dating back to the late 19th century, meticulously restored with great attention to detail while preserving its original architectural elegance.

Surrounded by a romantic and refined atmosphere, the property retains the timeless charm of its era, enhanced by a stone-built dépendance and a flourishing landscaped garden that frames the residence with harmony and elegance.

The main villa is arranged over several floors and currently hosts two interconnected living units, each with independent access, offering flexibility as an exclusive private residence or as a distinguished hospitality venue.

On the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall opens onto a double living room with fireplace and access to a panoramic terrace with breathtaking views over the lake and the surrounding greenery. The living area also includes a fully fitted modern kitchen, the dining room, an atmospheric stone tavern – ideal as a wine cellar – a guest bathroom, and a laundry/utility room.

The first floor hosts the refined master suite with private bathroom featuring both shower and bathtub, as well as a walk-in wardrobe. Two further bedrooms, each with a private wardrobe, provide perfect spaces for guests, study, or relaxation, and are served by a finely appointed bathroom. A charming enclosed veranda overlooking the garden adds further appeal: it can be transformed into a winter garden, creative studio, reading lounge, or wellness area.

The second floor, fully renovated in 2023, offers an independent apartment with exposed beams and a panoramic balcony: an open-plan living room with kitchen, two bedrooms, an elegant bathroom, a private sauna, and a romantic attic space to be customized.

The dépendance is divided into two independent units: on the ground floor a studio with bathroom and a natural grotto used as a second bedroom, while the upper level hosts a loft with exposed stone walls, living room with kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and mezzanine. Its panoramic terrace offers unforgettable views of the lake, perfect at sunset.

The landscaped park surrounding the villa is generous and carefully designed, enriched with ornamental plants and century-old trees. A garage completes the property.

Just a few minutes from the centre of Stresa, this villa is a true jewel: a haven of luxury and tranquillity where history, elegance, and modern comfort coexist in perfect harmony.
