Description

This important historic residence, built in the late 1700s, is located in Belgirate, just a few steps from the lake. Although the property requires modernization works, it has kept its historic features intact: original floors, frescoed ceilings, period original fireplaces, and granite staircases. The villa is arranged over three levels for approx. 800 sq m, in addition to a 1,800 sq m garden and a garage, making it suitable for multiple possible uses. As soon as you enter the property you are immediately struck by its beauty and elegance, where time seems to have stood still: a bright residence built to last, with a magnificent view over the entire lake. The large garden is full of hidden and charming corners, as well as a spacious entrance area with a garage convenient for parking. To the historic value of the property are added all the services now available, such as restaurants, lake access with the ferry that crosses to the Lombardy shore of the lake, and any other service.

Location: Belgirate, Piedmont

Set on the western shore of Lake Maggiore in its sunniest stretch, Belgirate is a well-known tourist and holiday resort, located just 2 km from Stresa. Stresa is undoubtedly one of the most famous towns on Lake Maggiore, and one of the most visited tourist destinations in the whole Piedmont region. From here, boats depart to visit the beautiful Borromean Islands: it is impossible not to fall in love with the sumptuous palaces rich in art and history and the splendid, perfectly kept gardens. But Stresa is not only about the Islands; it also offers a lovely historic center enlivened by charming cafés, pastry shops (have you ever tasted the Margheritine di Stresa?) and typical restaurants. The Municipality of Stresa also includes hilly and mountainous areas, foremost among them Mottarone, a mountain about 1,500 m high that in winter becomes a ski resort and in summer offers fine trekking walks as well as adrenaline-filled thrills with Alpyland, a two-seater alpine coaster suspended above the Borromean Gulf. The eastern slope, instead, is home to the Alpinia Botanical Garden, where there are many plant species typical of the alpine and subalpine belt.
