Situated on the western side of Lake Maggiore in the beautiful park of ‘Lagoni di Mercurago’, this unusually designed property enjoys magnificent views of the lake and the medieval fortress of Angera on the opposite shore. It is situated 10 kilometres from the resort of Stresa, from where it is possible to take boat trips, as well as a cable car trip up Monte Mottarone to see incredible views of the lake and as far as the Alps in the distance.
A famous architect designed the villa in the 1960’s, and it has recently been restored and refurbished in a modern style. The house has been featured in several magazines specializing in architectural design. The interiors are spacious and light, with a varied range of colours, although predominantly white. The accommodation consists of a main circular section, with a very large sitting room which was once a dance hall, and two wings with identical hallways, leading to the large dining room and the bedroom area.
To the front of the living room is a lovely vine covered terrace furnished for relaxing and dining outdoors. Beyond this is a large lawned garden, surrounded by trees, with a swimming pool (10 x 5m), with decking surround. The property is equipped with satellite TV and DVD, and there is also a barbecue. All the bedrooms are equipped with mosquito netting. With its comfortable, spacious accommodation, and layout in two wings, it is a perfect property for two families.
