Let's discover the majestic Villa Cardarelli - Lago Maggiore

Among the houses for sale on Lago Maggiore, one is a real architectonic jewel with painted decorations 

When we speak of houses for sale Lago Maggiore we often use the the term "work of art" to describe them, especially when the subject is historical property for sale. In this case the definition is spot-on too, since villa Cardarelli is first of all the fullfillment of a dream and a long-time project by a great man of learning. It's a majestic building, which realisation was strongly wanted by Dino Cardarelli, one of the most important managers of the XX century, bond to the Feltrinelli family, who entrusted the creation of the villa to architect Barbieri.


The result of this work is still visible between the villages of Bee and Premeno, at an altitude of 900 metres over Lago Maggiore, a true "buen retiro" in stone and wood, surrounded by nature. Among the houses for sale in Premeno, this is truly one of the most fascinating and elegant, also thanks to the pictorial decoration, boasting some masterpieces. In years the Cardarellis have employed different artists to give prestige to the property and among these were Ferruccio Ferrazzi and Carlo Fornara, famous Italian painters from the XX century.

But there are other reasons why we are focusing on this sepcific offer among the many houses for sale on Lago Maggiore. For example the internal layout on three floors is an interesting element: in the basement we find the cellar and a garage, which can be reached through a wonderful driveway made of granite slabs. On the groundfloor there is the living with kitchen, the dining room and the reading room while the entrance oepns onto some fine marmor stairs leading to the upper floors. Here five bedrooms, from which you can enjoy a breath-taking view, and two bathrooms awiat you. 
The landscape is one of the elements best characterising this and other villas on Lago Maggiore. 


Cardarelli's idea was to turn his villa into a place of quiet and relax and that is why he put so much care in shaping the park and woods all around, which are crossed by many paths and offer small stone lodges, as well as two private water springs in service of the villa. To complete this wonderful dwelling, there is the dépendance built in 1950, partly designated to the housekeeper, furnished with a kitchen, living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. 


Villa Cardarelli is for sale at a price of 2,950,000 € and stands for one of the most beautiful historical properties for sale at Engel & Völkers Lago Maggiore.
