Independent Villa for Sale in Stresa: Villa Framisi

This villa for sale, known as Villa Framisi, is located in Stresa and overlooks the most poetic waters of Lake Maggiore. Villa Framisi is a rare pieds dans l’eau residence, the only one of its kind offering an unobstructed view of all three Borromean Islands—a masterpiece that intertwines history and refinement in an enchanting natural setting. The property is spread over four levels: - Ground floor: industrial kitchen with access to wine cellar/pantry, service bathroom, technical room, laundry, dining room opening onto the lakeside portico; - First floor: lounge and library with original Venetian mosaic floors, covered terrace overlooking the lake; - Second floor: master bedroom with en suite bathroom and lake-facing windows, second spacious double bedroom with view, walk-in wardrobe, additional bathroom; - Attic floor: two generously sized rooms that can be used as bedrooms, with a dedicated bathroom. Completing the estate is a 36 m² dependence over two floors—one space for hobbies, the other for tool storage. Once the residence of the noble Borromeo family, the villa underwent a sensitive restoration in 2001, lovingly preserving its original soul. Rosa di Baveno granite embraces the porticos, terraces, and walkways like a carved love letter in stone. The garden, embroidered with flower beds and shaded by majestic palms, guards the secret of authentic beauty, while the rizzata paving—made of Ticino river pebbles—guides every step along a sensory journey of elegance and harmony. Along the balustrades overlooking the lake, early‑20th‑century liberty statues stand in silent vigil, guardians of time and poetry. Descending the main stairway reveals the villa’s most intimate essence: a private boathouse that, in summer, transforms into a secret beach where water caresses stone and silence becomes music. Villa Framisi is more than just a home. It is a place of the soul—a magical sanctuary where every detail tells a story of prestige and passion, every sunrise reflects on the water like a work of art, and every sunset wraps the horizon in a golden embrace. Here, life is lived slowly, gracefully, with the awareness of living a rare and precious dream—a dream that can now become reality.
