Description

A few hundred meters from the lake and the beach, in the picturesque and strategic hamlet of Carciano di Stresa, an enchanting corner with a view of the famous Borromean Islands, lies an elegant villa built in the 1920s. The historic residence is surrounded by a large and lush garden of 2,100 sqm rich in palm trees, hydrangeas, centuries-old tall trees, and fragrant lake essences, where you can stroll, immerse yourself in reading, or simply relax in the sun by the splendid pool. The villa was carefully and tastefully renovated in 2014, keeping alive the original features of the era, a perfect balance between authenticity and timeless charm. The wonderful stone staircase leads to the entrance, which in turn leads to the charming bow window where the reading lounge is located, and then continues into the large and bright living room with dining area and direct access to the large terrace with lake view, right in front of the pool. The living area also includes the kitchen, replaced in 2024, and the guest bathroom, decorated with classic blue mosaic tiles, original from the era. The scenic stone staircase, also original, leads to the first sleeping area on the upper floor, which houses four large double bedrooms, one with a large sun terrace and a second with a balcony, both with a beautiful view of the lake and islands, in addition to three bathrooms, two of which are en suite, one with a jacuzzi and the other two with showers. The upper floor hosts three more characteristic attic rooms with exposed beams, currently used as bedrooms, as well as two bathrooms, one of which is en suite with a shower and the other with a jacuzzi. In the basement, with access to the practical external porch, there are 3 cellars, the technical room with the two gas boilers replaced in 2025, and the garage. About 300 meters away is the Lido di Stresa, with an equipped beach, pool, and restaurant. The quiet and green setting, yet not far from the train station and the scenic walk from the Carciano Lido to the town center of Stresa, with its many cafes, restaurants, and boutiques, makes the property interesting and versatile, ideal both as a first home and as a holiday home dedicated to relaxation or outdoor sports. The property is currently rented with the short-term rental formula, with the possibility for the buyer to take over the already well-established business with documented income and profitability. Also strategic is the proximity to the highway to quickly reach Milan and the international airport of Malpensa. Tradition, elegance, character, and charm blend in this lakeside jewel, perfect for those seeking a beautifully preserved historic villa, just a few hundred meters from the lively town center.

Location: Stresa, Piedmont

Stresa is undoubtedly the most internationally known destination of Lake Maggiore, one of the most visited tourist spots in the entire Piedmont region. A city that is lake, mountains, and sky, that is 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 walking its streets and hiking its heights to admire it from above. A visit to the splendid Borromean Islands, which rise just in front of Stresa, will lead you to discover enchanted and fairytale places, 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. Don't miss the magnificent Villa Pallavicino, the splendid 19th-century villa that descends from the hill to the lake and was transformed into a zoo in 1956; you'll 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, patisseries (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 surrounding mountains will offer you a varied and beautiful territory where you can engage in all kinds of activities and sports, whether on land, water, or air. The municipality of Stresa includes some hilly and mountainous areas: first of all, Mottarone, a mountain about 1500m above sea level 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 carriages overlooking the Borromeo Gulf. The eastern side hosts the Alpinia botanical garden, where many botanical species typical of the alpine and subalpine zone can be found. The variety of places, scents, and colors, and the exceptionally mild climate is what makes this corner of Lake Maggiore so special. A rare and precious richness to immerse yourself in to return home filled with beauty and magic.
