Santandrea Luxury Houses

A beautiful villa with an extraordinary lake view, set in a luxuriant park of no less than 3,300 square metres of lawn, trees and plants characteristic of Lake Maggiore. Built in 1894, the mansion has been perfectly preserved to this day with its original frescoes, stucco work still present above doors and ceilings, embellishing the rooms, as well as the parquet floors, original marble and two large fireplaces. One only has to look at the photographs: the details of handles, finishes, sliding wooden shutters and ironwork, to understand. The exposure is excellent, giving brightness to all the rooms throughout the day. Priceless is the terrace that from the hall overlooks the outdoor area with a spectacular view of the lake. Perhaps this very terrace, which connects the garden with a small stone staircase, is one of the strong points of this villa; it is bordered by two iron columns with Liberty-inspired floral work that support the equally splendid balcony on the upper floor. Ascending the staircase characterised by the wrought iron and wooden railing, we reach the sleeping area with three bedrooms, a study, a bathroom and an ironing room. At garden level there is a large porch formed by three arches. This area could comfortably accommodate a swimming pool. In this part of the property there is also a completely independent flat, used at another time by the caretakers: even from here the view of the lake framed by the vaulting and the colours of the garden is remarkable. There are two entrances to the property: one from the main road and one, through the garden, from the road below the villa. There are two covered parking spaces, but the area in front of the main entrance offers more space for parking. In a panoramic position, but equally convenient for reaching the centre of Stresa and all its services or the motorway.
