Situated on the slopes of Mottarone, in the heart of the prestigious Alpine residential centre of the municipality of Stresa, this charming period villa, built at the beginning of the 20th century, embodies all the charm and elegance of the early twentieth century. Once a favorite retreat of the aristocracy, as well as a destination for painters and musicians in search of inspiration, this property today represents a rare jewel immersed in an atmosphere suspended in time. Surrounded by a lush centuries-old garden, enriched with flowers and plants typical of Lake Maggiore, the villa enjoys a spectacular view that embraces the Borromean Gulf up to the majestic chain of the Swiss Alps. The residence is spread over four levels: ground floor, first floor, attic and basement. An elegant avenue leads to the main entrance, which opens onto a bright and welcoming veranda. From here you access the large living area, consisting of a lounge with fireplace, dining room, eat-in kitchen with central island, hallway and guest bathroom. On the first floor is the sleeping area, with three double bedrooms, two of which with en suite bathroom, as well as a fourth bedroom and an additional bathroom. The attic floor hosts a study in the characteristic turret, two more bedrooms, a bathroom and attic rooms. The property is completed by a tavern and a billiard room in the basement, as well as a convenient garage.
