Located two kilometers from the historic center of Stresa, Villa La Sacca is a stunning lakeside landmark, set within a centuries-old park of nearly two hectares. The landscape is magnificent, the view of the Borromean Gulf magical; the lake beach is just steps away, as are the numerous trails along the Napoleonic road. The villa enjoys a unique position, facing the sunrise and overlooking the lake, with a magnificent view of the Borromean Gulf and the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps. La Sacca is situated among several distinguished aristocratic properties, such as Villa Pallavicino with its botanical garden, to name one. Long a haven for Italian aristocrats and the jet set, the lake is experiencing a new wave of international buyers, attracted by its beauty, history, and excellent connections. Villa La Sacca is the focal point of an elegant path through a centuries-old English garden, with wide, level lawns, where the designers have incorporated a large heated swimming pool, pergolas, orchards, and restored gardens. The building complex consists of the main house, with a total area of 480 sq m, divided into ground floor, first and second floors, a garage of over 70 sq m, already authorized for potential conversion into a guesthouse, and a wonderful garden. The residence is positioned directly opposite the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, which lights up at sunset, in a unique and magical spot on the lake! Villa La Sacca was built immediately after the Great War by Marchesa Maura Dal Pozzo d’Annone, whose memory is still alive among the citizens of Stresa, over a century after her birth. After several changes of ownership, the villa was finally purchased in 2018 by the current owners. A meticulous design project, overseen by luxury design and restoration experts, has maximized the available space and reclaimed many outdoor areas, enhancing the already wonderful garden and adding a guesthouse and a generous swimming pool within the original orchards. Innovative high-efficiency energy solutions, advanced security systems, cutting-edge technology, combined with the skillful use of traditional local materials and sensitive design attentive to the site’s historical value, make this project truly unique. The renovation project is scheduled for completion in July 2025.
