Villa in the centre of Stresa: a style icon

This villa enjoys a dominant, panoramic setting in the heart of Stresa, close to the lakeside promenade and the many lovely cafés and restaurants of this lively town. Boasting a living surface of almost 500 m² surrounded by a park of 6.000 m², a tree-lined avenue leads to an important staircase of the main entrance, characterized by a particular circular cantilevered canopy that covers the entrance porch enclosed by two large arches and divided by a scenic carved granite column. The ground floor entrance, leads the way into a wide and gracious living room with fireplace and original paintings inserted into the elegant wainscoting that portray still lives, famous artists and intellectuals of that period, including the architect Boffi. A kitchen and a guest bathroom complete this floor. A beautiful circular stone staircase with wrought-iron handrail and maritime details which evoke that of a ship's wheel, lead to a bright veranda on the first floor surrounded by a panoramic terrace with Lake view. On the same level you enter into another living room, kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Thanks to a beautiful large spiral staircase, similar to a staircase in an oceanic lighthouse, you will reach the “Belvededere” turret: an element which ultimately highlights the architecture of this grand Stresa residence, designed not only to have a 360°degree wide view of the Lake, Stresa rooftops and the surrounding mountains, but also as a striking and unique example of prestige and luxury. This mansion also encompasses a large basement.
