Elegant villa with panoramic views, nestled in a peaceful setting

In the municipality of Gignese, in a secluded and commanding location, stands a charming villa offering stunning panoramic views of Lake Maggiore, the smaller lakes, and the surrounding mountains, all within a setting of absolute tranquility and privacy. The property is located within an exclusive residential complex called “Il Fauno,” in the Alpino area, between Stresa and Mottarone, characterized by vacation homes and a concierge service. The villa underwent a complete renovation in 2016, carried out with great attention to detail and the quality of materials.

Upon entering the spacious and exceptionally bright foyer—thanks to the large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lakes—you are immediately greeted by an elegant and refined atmosphere. The entrance leads to the living area, comprising a living room, dining room, and kitchen—spaces designed to allow the home to flow seamlessly with the outdoors; in fact, the living room and dining room open directly onto the splendid panoramic terrace and covered porch, perfect for al fresco lunches and dinners. A few steps up lead to the first sleeping area, consisting of the refined master bedroom with a private balcony and en-suite bathroom. The floor is completed by an additional guest bathroom and a convenient storage room. On the lower floor, connected internally, there is a spacious living room featuring a magnificent stone fireplace of American origin, personally selected by the owners in Los Angeles. On the same level are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite, as well as a storage room, laundry room, wine cellar, utility room, and an additional outdoor porch directly connected to the garden. The property is surrounded by a well-maintained garden of approximately 2,400 square meters, offering privacy, tranquility, and panoramic views of rare beauty over the surrounding landscape. Stone floors sourced from a French quarry in the living area on the main floor and hardwood flooring in the sleeping quarters and on the lower level create a harmonious balance between texture and domestic warmth. The steel-reinforced, wood-clad windows, equipped with triple-pane glass, ensure maximum security and living comfort, as well as excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, in line with the most modern efficiency standards. The villa is sold fully furnished, with a top-tier interior design, meticulously curated down to the smallest detail and largely featuring Ralph Lauren furnishings, as well as decorative objects and elements carefully selected over the years. The atmosphere is that of an elegant “buen retiro”—warm, sophisticated, and consistent throughout every room. A property with a strong personality, designed for those seeking an exclusive retreat immersed in nature, yet conveniently located near the highway exit, just 45 minutes from Milan Malpensa International Airport, and a few minutes from the area’s famous golf courses.
