Castle for Sale in Stresa, with Park and Lake Maggiore View

Castello Pellegrini is a magnificent historic residence situated in a dominant position on the hills of Stresa, offering an unparalleled view of Lake Maggiore. Considered one of the most beautiful properties on our lake, the villa was purchased by the famous designer Gianfranco Ferré to give life to the project for the rebirth of what was originally 'Castello Pellegrini'. His intention was to transform it into a first-class Relais au Lac where guests can immerse themselves in wellness and exclusive services. Known as 'Il Castellotto' due to its majestic proportions, the building stands out for its visual impact and architectural elegance. The villa, built in the early decades of the twentieth century, features an imposing facade characterized by corner towers, double windows, and battlements—elements that recall medieval architecture. The interior of the villa is equally captivating, with original details including a fine Carrara marble staircase and historical frescoes that highlight an eclectic taste typical of that era. The internal spaces are spread over two main levels plus a basement floor designed to offer a luxurious and comfortable living experience, featuring spacious salons overlooking the lake and charming bedrooms. The surrounding park covering 12 thousand square meters is rich in ancient vegetation, panoramic terraces, and rocky grottos adds further prestige to this property creating an oasis of tranquility amidst natural beauty. Additionally included is a rustic chalet styled after Alpine designs along with a cottage used as dependence. The entire complex has been declared cultural heritage by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities as testament to its historical and architectural value. Castello Pellegrini represents a rare opportunity to acquire an estate of great prestige set within unique natural surroundings combined with fascinating history ideal for those wishing either to live or invest in an exclusive corner off Lake Maggiore.
