Property Description
Location
The upmarket resort town of Stresa is a five minute drive away. The popular town is home to a number of premier hotels, restaurants, shops and amenities. The small harbour of Stresa provides convenient boat access to the various waterside towns on the lake.
Description
An important residence enjoying an elevated position above Stresa with far reaching views over picturesque Lake Maggiore. This prime position above the lake was chosen by the industrious Mandadori family in the 1920's as a place to build a home of peace and relaxation and it continues to be so today. In a little over one hundred years the property has seldom changed hands, such is its precious charm and unique setting.
Through successive generations the property has been lovingly cared for, with each generation making their mark. Today it is a contemporary and classical mix of modern conveniences embodied within a period envelope, whilst always maintaining the esprit of the 1920's. Antique glass, original timber inlaid flooring, period fireplaces, marble and stucco abound. Instead of grand overhaul schemes which so often can tear out the character of a home, the gentle act of preservation here leaves a feeling of heritage, luxury and comfort. Most certainly a versatile property, with little or no trouble a new owner could instantly make this a very formal home or one of extreme leisure.
The property has surprisingly large proportions but is in no way overwhelming. The secluded villa is housed in a 7000 square meter park of beautiful trees, meandering shaded paths and a glorious swimming pool. Take a passeggiata through the gardens and one will experience occasional awe inspiring views of the majestic lake and islands below. Perhaps discover a cool resting spot or stretch out on sun lit lawns. Of note are the giant camellia, mature magnolia, and banks of rhododendron. Throughout the flowering months each seem to give way to one another to provide a constant show of colour and fascination.
The villa itself, having 900 square meters, is laid out predominantly over three floors. Gracious, naturally well lit and well proportioned living spaces flow around a central staircase taking one to the zona notte. There are eleven bedrooms in total, nearly all having wonderful views of the lake and mountains beyond.
