Description

This extraordinary historic residence from the early 1900s is located in Lesa, on the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore, and is one of the very few lakeside properties of such splendor, maintained in perfect condition. As soon as you enter this fully furnished home, you will be taken back in time, enchanted by everything you see: every corner and every antique piece (from unique Murano glass chandeliers to prestigious antique rugs) has been deliberately placed in that precise spot, creating continuity from one room to the next in both colors and materials, all the result of long research so that everything is harmonious. The villa is laid out over three main floors, in addition to the basement level; on the ground floor, a large covered terrace leads to the main entrance and to the frescoed and decorated reception rooms, the dining room and the music room. The elevator shaft and the precious, charming staircase enhanced by splendid stained-glass windows lead to the upper floors. On the first floor is the sleeping area with four bedrooms with bathrooms, and two terraces, one of which offers a splendid view of Lake Maggiore. Each room is distinguished by frescoes and paintings with different themes that tell of the beauty and flowers of the lake. On the attic floor, the master bedroom, also frescoed, with en-suite bathroom, large walk-in closet, study/bedroom. On the partially underground floor is the “relax” area where nothing is missing: a large professional kitchen, dining room, cinema room, excellently equipped laundry room, bathroom, and technical rooms with a lake well, usable for irrigating the park. The approximately 8,000 sq m park surrounding this enchanting residence, also featuring a splendid swimming pool (with counter-current swimming and cover), is an alternation of flowers and beautifully kept plants that enrich the property with color and fragrances. The villa is completed by two guesthouses: the larger one of 200 sq m, recently fully renovated and finely furnished, equipped with a large patio, is arranged over two levels comprising a kitchen-diner, living room, service bathroom and technical room on the ground floor; 2 bedrooms with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet on the 1st floor. The second, of 60 sq m, also with a patio and fully furnished, is ideal for accommodating more guests or a caretaker. A large parking area can be further expanded by an already approved project for the construction of an underground garage. It also includes a boat berth (up to 12 m) in Solcio di Lesa.

Location: Lesa, Piedmont

This small municipality lies on the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore, in a partly hilly position and overlooking the lush green shores of the Lake, between Arona and Stresa. Peace and nature are the features that distinguish the town of Lesa, located just a few kilometres from the renowned town of Arona. An important tourist centre, well connected to the main motorways, close to Malpensa and 60 km from Milan, Arona stands on the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore. A town with a rich history, Arona was for a long time in the hands of the wealthy and powerful Borromeo family: Saint Charles Borromeo was in fact born here, in the castle, in 1538. In the town there are many churches and squares, among which it is certainly worth remembering the Church of the Holy Martyrs, with its 15th-century frescoes of the Leonardesque school, and the Collegiate Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. Moving on to the medieval heart of the town, we discover Piazza del Popolo, with its old-world houses and the pier, on which stands a small lighthouse, a favourite spot for tourists. However, the most important and fascinating monument in Arona is undoubtedly the colossus of St. Charles Borromeo, which, at about 35 metres high, ranks second among the tallest statues in the world that can be visited inside, surpassed only by the Statue of Liberty. Arona also offers various activities for tourists: a historic centre full of shops and restaurants, a beautiful lakeside promenade for walking, and lidos and small beaches where you can spend the warm summer days.
