Elegant historic residence with contemporary appeal facing the lake in Stresa

Stresa is undoubtedly the most internationally known location on Lake Maggiore, one of the most visited tourist destinations in the entire Piedmont region. A city that embodies lake, mountains, and sky, as well as history and culture. Stresa is a city to be discovered in every corner and landscape, without haste. Walk through it, listen to it, admire it, and breathe it in. Choosing Stresa means loving the details. Learn to discover it by strolling through its streets and walking up the hills to admire it from above as well. A visit to the splendid Borromean Islands, which lie right in front of Stresa, will lead you to discover enchanting and fairy-tale places, with buildings and gardens emerging from the water, surrounded by mountains. Isola Bella, with its gardens and Baroque charm; Isola Madre with its lush vegetation, and Isola dei Pescatori, inhabited all year round, the smallest and full of small hotels and typical restaurants. Do not miss the magnificent Villa Pallavicino, the splendid 19th-century villa that descends from the hill to the lake and was transformed into a zoological garden in 1956; you will be catapulted into another era and another world, made of fairy-tale animals and incredible flowers. Stresa also offers a wonderful lakeside promenade and a beautiful historic center animated by charming bars, pastry shops (have you ever tasted the Margheritine of Stresa?), and typical restaurants. But Stresa also means appreciating art, cinema, and music, which is best expressed here in an internationally renowned festival that attracts tourists from all over the world during the summer. For nature lovers, moreover, Stresa and the mountains surrounding it offer a varied and beautiful area for all kinds of activities and sports, whether on land, water, or air. The municipality of Stresa includes some hilly and mountainous territories: first and foremost, Mottarone, a mountain about 1500m high that becomes a ski resort in winter and offers beautiful trekking walks in summer, interesting mountain bike trails, but also adrenaline-pumping thrills with Alpyland, a roller coaster with two-seater cars overlooking the Borromean Gulf. The eastern side hosts the Alpinia Botanical Garden, where many botanical species typical of the Alpine and subalpine areas can be found. The variety of places, scents, and colors, and the exceptionally mild climate is what makes this corner of Lake Maggiore special. A rare and precious wealth to immerse yourself in to return home filled with beauty and magic.
