Descrizione

In Lesa, set against one of Lake Maggiore’s most captivating backdrops, stands this extraordinary aristocratic residence nestled within a centuries-old park, just a few minutes from Stresa, the Borromean Islands, and the region’s major scenic and cultural attractions. Its panoramic location, surrounded by lakes, mountains, and lush vegetation, makes the property a residence of exceptional prestige.

The crenellated villa spans three levels, covering a total area of approximately 1,300 square meters. Built in 1880 on the site of a previous structure dating from 1788, it was designed by architect Pietro Bottini in an elegant castle-like style inspired by the Romantic aesthetic of the era. The interiors retain the atmosphere of a grand aristocratic residence, featuring spacious salons, dining rooms, and refined spaces designed for receptions and formal occasions.

The villa currently houses a prestigious restaurant, perfectly integrated into the historic setting and particularly well-suited for hosting weddings, private events, and exclusive receptions. The English-style park, spanning approximately 15,000 square meters, is adorned with mature trees, conifers, statues, ornamental flowers, and expansive lawns, some of which are equipped with tensile structures for outdoor events.

Of particular charm are the stone perimeter wall, crowned with Ghibelline-style battlements, and the slender terracotta turret—elements that reinforce the property’s neo-medieval character. The complex also includes the historic guesthouse and additional buildings in their original, unfinished state—currently undergoing renovation—covering a total area of approximately 1,200 square meters, as well as four garages totaling about 200 square meters.

A historic residence of rare significance, ideal as a prestigious private home, a boutique hotel, a venue for weddings and events, or an investment in the luxury dining and hospitality sector on Lake Maggiore.
